That’s looking only at the supply side and ignoring the demand side. Sure, founders might not need laborers - but they still need buyers. If nobody has a job, where does the money come from to buy products and services? Nowhere. The whole s

So they aren't happy with what's going on, no? They just don't have the means to do anything meaningful about it until the next election cycle. Hopefully the one thing this administration has done is decreased voter apathy.

I see two problems with the AI narrative at this point 1. You can generate whatever you want via a prompt. The biggest problem with this point is it's not true and it's not even how one wants to work with AI: in a collaborative

The president has no authority to usurp the responsibility of Congress, regardless of how slow Congress moves. This is why diplomacy and diplomatic skills matter. You can't act like a two-year old and throw tantrums and expect to get t

Having one national set of AI laws and guidelines rather than a patchwork of AI laws and guidelines is certainly better for the AI companies - but it's up to Congress - which has representation from all the states - to create the legis

Are we just going to continue to ignore that Trump has no legal authority to do this? Such action requires legislation, not executive orders. Executive orders can't preempt state law.

You seem to know very little about WWII and how it was won. You also seem to know very little about US foreign policy after WWII - which, frankly, puts you in the same boat as the current administration. They have no clue how the US leverag

There's a very important lesson to learn from Google: companies say and do one thing when they're the underdog and then say and do something completely different when they're the top dog. There's no reason to think OpenA

When I first started using QNX back in 1987/88 it was distributed on a couple of 1.4MB floppy diskettes! And you could install a graphical desktop that was a 40KB distribution!

What's the point in creating an AI that thinks the way humans do? There are already 8 billion humans on this planet capable of doing that. I want AI to provide a different perspective and be able to explain its reasoning.
