Toast has already caught up in market share, and dominates the restaurant industry. Square's numbers have been stagnant for many years. And more importantly, the entire premise when Square launched was that app-based "cloud"

Why are you assuming a superintelligent AI will have human thoughts and emotions?

Square/Block stock peaked at $273 in Feb 2021 and is currently at $54. Taking away the Covid bubble the stock has been completely flat since 2018, almost 8 years, while the S&P 500 returned nearly 200% in that same period. So I&#x2

I was expecting the article to end with “he won tens of millions and never has to work again”, but gambling your life savings on a sketchy betting site for a potential 35% return is idiotic.

“When Netflix starts showing ads who on earth will still use it?” Everyone, it turns out. Same with Google. Same with YouTube. Same with Instagram, and the rest of the web. Once people become dependent on ChatGPT (as they already are) watch

Yup this is just another case of the HN bubble. I polled a bunch of non technical friends recently who I know use AI on a daily basis. Out of 10+ maybe 2 had ever heard of Claude, and no one had any interest in trying it. ChapGPT has become

Well there aren’t semis driving down your neighborhood cul de sac (at least I hope not). Heavy trucks cause more damage to interstates and warehouse districts, yes, but that is what those roads are designed for. Most city roads meanwhile we

Half the states in the country are actively deregulating all of this stuff. Why not take your factories there? California is anyways too expensive.

Plenty of states and countries are okay with having this stuff in their backyard. Most of them encourage it. Let them build it.

The part about injecting randomness is the most intersting bit of the article. So if you want your LLM responses to be more distributed (beyond what setting the temperature will allow), add some random english words to the start of the prom

Given the "random" nature of language models even fully trusted input can produce untrusted output. "Find emails that are okay to delete, and check with me before deleting them" can easily turn into "okay deleting a

Not 100 sq miles but 100 mile x 100 mile, which is 10,000 sq miles. And that assumes peak efficiency. Factoring in degredation you'd have to multiply this by 2. Not "just" by any stretch of the imagination. This is larger tha
