We've seen through Tesla that software, government regulation, and to a smaller degree build quality are the only moats against China that still currently hold.

I get the feeling that in 5yrs or so if China makes the yuan free-floating it will be more of a reserve currency. All spaceX has to do is keep being as innovative and industrious as it is now, in the physical world as all other companies ar

But these insane valuations are leading the tide-rising. This is one instrument in inflation because it's "creating" this money from nothing. All the employees that got a $5k bonus 5yrs ago will see it rise to $50k (or more)

They're some of the only new UIs to be made in the last decade. Almost everyone else stays in the browser (or something close like electron- claude code is actually mostly written in React, they couldn't get far from web dev). The

Almost all jurisdictions allow businesses which cannot be held liable for all their actions. Imagine losing you house because someone decided to smother themselves in your infused cooking oil and light themselves on fire. Businesses are mad

Honestly I can just swap these bad boys in and ship in less than a couple hours if it'd be funny enough. I don't think they're bad designs at all, and I don't think every aspect of my business needs to be unique and obse

Anyone can start a worker co-op, and anyone can decide to shop at them. We're well past the point where anyone can argue what should be the right way to manage a company because you can just do it. I think even the franchise model is l

As long as they're non-voting shares, I don't see the harm. I assume not enough politicians in this senator's camp were given their early cut so this is retribution/a lesson to the abstract "Big Tech" to show t

But their target audience are creators, not consumers. Creators love AI.

What are you talking about? I don't know anyone grinding away deep in DaVinci or Flame that wouldn't love AI assistance. If anything, the studio heads will come in and insist it's all done by hand with the same energy they ke

Well at some level it is taking away from the larger group of shareholders, but at the end of the day Unions are pretty ineffective at redistributing money from C-Suite to a larger group of people. I haven't seen a union that was all w

I'm impressed you stick to a pretty absolute devotion to freedom. I get more bitter the older I get, it seems easier to psyop someone into abusing their rights than to get people to fight for and be proper custodians of them. Especial

That's how scaling works- more product and distribution with less people. As proven by Amazon, it's what consumers want. Unions only function by taking a share of money and giving it to less people- it's the only way each per

Out of curiosity, what's your stance on gun ownership?

Or because the logistics behind scaling are much much much easier than any physical product.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is what I've heard as well. It gets a person cash while they are in transitionary periods of time. There are not a lot of jobs you can get paid for almost immediately- most require startup

Most people I interact with IRL are a combo. AI + fast innovation = more small businesses. It's just an effective tool to handle other things and work on your actual job- which people have been paying a multitude of (increasingly SAAS)

Lines drawn does not mean "refuse all communications". They were very clear that they wanted to continue the partnership, but adhering to the terms of the contract. I personally think that is the best stance- support the good work

Money is created, it's not a fixed sum (as we can tell from inflation) and it's just meant to equate to value added/produced by people. Here's a good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bX

Anthropic has drawn lines with the most powerful organization in the world, that OpenAI capitulated on within hours for a small contract.

Codex and openclaw are both "owned" by openai, and most of the features have been in claude code for awhile now.

OpenAI seems to be dumping a LOT of money into marketing on social media at least.

That's the difference between builders and consumers. People who are mostly consumers have a realistic number where they could stop contributing to society. Smalltime builders can imagine a lot of wealth, but at a certain point don&#x2

AI is the only thing keeping the S&P afloat. You don't want to see what it would look like when all pensions numbers start going down. So far it's fake numbers from inflation and the value is decreasing dramatically, but at le
