Money is the energy for a business. With it you employ people to build, market and sell the product, rent real estate etc. Most startups die out of either running out of money or running out of will to continue (due to founder fallout). Mon

China and Russia knows US will use AI for autonomous weapons. If they don't have it, they'll be left behind. Adapt or wither away. Before it was the nuclear cold war. This time, it is the AI cold war. I don't trust Sam Altman

The browser paradigm may be the most open platform we have. I can go to any website, download whatever I want and not pay tax to some central authority. I can inspect the dom, scripts run on my device, the network. Set adblockers and script

People and them are quite varied though. One one hand I want better AI that can generate whatever image that comes to my mind. On the other hand I don’t want it to blatantly copy someone else’s style that they spent years making. US is pret

If you don’t like Elon being rich, don’t buy a Tesla. Or use Facebook to make Zuckerberg rich. They became rich because they built something valuable that a lot of people give them $$$ for. We the population made them rich. The big question

These are the top 10. I don’t have a problem with them being rich, and using that money to create even better technology. (MSFT, GOOG, TSLA etc) What we should restrict is how much policy and fixed resources like land they control. Not only

No new releases since June 2022 is a good thing. At some point you declare React complete and you put it in maintenance/optimization mode. No new api surface. Full backwards compatibility. React is darn good. Don’t mess with it and go

Humans shouldn’t be in control of technologies that can wipe out entire nations. Cheap AI drones that kill with precision by the millions are the ultimate weapon. More powerful than Nuclear. Nuclear is a very big but blunt instrument of war

App stores (or generally moderation) is a complex thing to get right. Once you have humans in the loop, you have bias. Not even humans can follow the set ambiguous guidelines and the appeals process is mostly broken. AI can somewhat help bu

Socialism is such a stupid argument because we pool our taxes for common things such as Transportation infrastructure, defense, port immigration, and other social benefits. Australia charges 2% for medicare (I'm sure other countries ha

We all talk about AI as some magical thing that will take care of us, bring more love and peace. Nah, it’s going to accelerate capitalism - concentration of wealth and power. As soon as companies can keep their fat revenues and profits with

Google is almost a 2T company. The amount of wealth that big google shareholders hold in the 1T+ tech companies is mind boggling. Perhaps US should consider raising capital gains tax.

The issue with global warming doomers is hyper exaggeration. It divides people into doomers and non-believer camps. The reality with global warming is somewhere in the middle. It’s a slow boiling problem. We won’t be all dead but billions o

2nd order realization is that the race to AGI is having computers do what humans do. Algorithms and compute is evolving at a much faster rate than humans. Our social fabric is still connected around capitalism. In US, Trump even reduced tax

Most companies die from slow starvation instead of murder. IMO Mozilla is default dead and so is Firefox. With 500M of revenue, ~$7M going to CEO is >1% of revenue being sucked by CEO (not even net profit). From a distant observer, Mitch
