Often true but Facebook is not bleeding cash though. They are printing money. They are just very bloated.

Nothing. But when you are from a specific political spectrum, before they came out it was "this is a conspiracy". After they came out it was "well of course that is how it works this is nothing new."

I guess they are a new thing in the US. In Europe installing a heat pump with floor heating is done for practically every new family house. It is the cheapest (for us) and nicest way to heat up your home. Though very few people build houses

OpenAI will 100% need to start paying royalties. For instance it knows a whole lot of things that are not publicly available and locked away behind science journal paywalls.

Not only that it is probably the best translation engine ever made. It translates incredibly well. This is likely one of the industries that is going to be hit severely.

1.4B are surviving on the resources at the moment so it's not that bad. You can always find a reason to be negative about the future. However that is a poor mindset for investing. "Pessimists sound smart, optimists make money"

Most of the value was captured by Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft. They are smart enough to capture any incoming technology wave. Mobile, cloud computing and now AI. Startups get crumbs.
