Don't people mostly ship containers nowadays? Or deploy code but standardize on language version. Why t f would you want to ship / deploy a naked executable in 2019?!

Tesla might be "the F-35 of personal autos", but it kind of makes sense for have the AI part of a product be SaaS. The company invested a ton in R&D, and it's also liable for the damages (including deaths!) that the featu

There's an obvious first-mover advantage though... there's not that many Jim Kellers around, and they got one.

I'd bet most successful hardware advances in the ML/AI will come from companies that also push the field's edge in software Bc all the others would be at at disadvantage - their "better" hardware will mismatch the

Ofc you'll say that "it only got worse" overall bc other things got worse... The digital-virtual economy needs to grow at least 10x, and percentually to at least 95% of the actual economy (physical goods need to be comoditize

This is dumb, and subtly evil too. We can have the cake and eat it too: The point is to keep the growth of scientific understanding and of technical know-how without producing too much physical crap that is hard to recycle and overloads

Just translate "deserves a billion dollars" to "gets to decide how most of a billion dollars gets allocated". Nobody can actually spend/consume more than ~10% of 1Bn. But if someone is smart enough to make 1Bn, it

I don't really buy the "monopoly on violence" interpretation... it's not a natural idea, maybe modern thinkers like it bc it seems to "explain" society and state. It's more of an accidental property. And i

Well, look at things in another way: Take the current structures, but split the "commerce, mobility & transportation" part off of it. Now take these split off-parts and re-assemble them together, not taking borders into consid

Thanks! My dev setup would also be "for Quest, on a Macbook" 80% of the time, so it means a lot if you found the very same scenario to work :) ...still hacking around with Unity, but after I get a basic PoC of what I'm doing

If you "own" 10 people, you call them slaves and call yourself their master, and you exploit them harshly by necessity, afraid that other slave owners will out-compete you and you'll go bankrupt. If, collectively with other 1

A feudal warlord system is geographically local by nature, and culturally local by accident. Corporations strong enough to out-power governments would be by necessity global and trans-cultural. This would be a very very different
