Nah. Hunter runs on fossil fuel. Remember he was being paid a fortune by a Ukrainian Gas company.

There used to be a need to make and filter powerpoints on their way up to the board. AI got rid of that function.

It could be e-ink, but I was talking more about the paper properties.

For people who don’t watch video on mobile, an e-ink display would be great. I just wish there were more options.

When the screen is fully floppy, that’s when Im in. Flexible electronic paper exists. Why not in a phone?

Middle management is at most danger of being replaced by AI. The C suite will also shrink rapidly, along with their salaries.

The DHS is less xenophobic about South Africans than Chinese.

Its probably less the performance of the AI model, more the data leaked to the Chinese government.

They thought they sold tokens, they actually sell marginally (6 months lead) improved models.

The machines are prompting themselves.

But look how dangerous these models are. They need to be regulated so that only responsible closed model providers can produce them.

Just ignore that the responsible closed model providers are the ones opening their sandboxes and training their models on blackhat sources.

Do you have any statistics?

massive drop in revenue expectations

This is still future predictions.

The pop happens when the bonds cannot be repaid.

On September 21st OpenAIs sponsor, BB+ issuer Softbank, placed an $11 billion single bond sale to fund an AI infrastructure bet, and it was oversubscribed.

The bubble is still inflating.

It shines at interpolation. It fails at extrapolation.

I’m comparing the whole of human knowledge to 5 years of additional facts. Most useful things are known. An llm doesn’t need to know the current US president to invent a biscuit recipe.

In theory the “reasoning” part doesn’t need a knowledge update.

Cost/benefit maybe the knowledge update only needs something every 5 years.

Basically I can see a world where inference is provided and consumed at cost. I can’t see one where customers are willing to cough up billions for a slight increase in the knowledge base.

Is it? It’s vital to the tech giants marketing and trillion dollar valuation. But I don’t think it’s vital to most of their clients anymore.

All the AI companies are running at loss

That is if you include training. Look at deepseek for an idea of inference costs. At that level AI coding is sustainable (but not worth $2tn).

If you copied all my personal data from my laptop, I’d still have it.

If you stole it I wouldn’t.

Companies steal trade secrets from each other all the time.

If you copy a secret then it is no longer a secret, so something has changed for the original owner.

Stop making up definitions and just accept that it’s stealing.

You are the one changing the definition of stealing to try and apply it to piracy.

stealing /ˈstiːlɪŋ/ noun

the action or offence of taking another person’s property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it; theft.

Piracy doesn’t fit the definition of stealing, because the owners still have the property.

It’s definitely stealing

It’s definitely denying money to someone who is asking to be paid.

But since they, nor anyone else is affected by the copying activity I don’t think it can be called stealing.

How about

“Fuck the corps, they don’t wanna play fair I’ll steal use their shit and they won’t see a penny”
