no matter the tools, cops remain as stupid and malicious as ever

exactly right
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 1 day ago:
me too, but the GPU used for AI are not the same as what we would use at home.
maybe the factories can produce both kinds and they would be cheaper, but it is speculation at this point
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 days ago:
this is not a bad analogy, but you are off by orders of magnitude
more importantly, both Uber and Amazon always had a path to profitability (Amazon specifically was already making tons of money on AWS long before the store front made money). AI has already been shown to not have a path to profitability; whatever little value companies around the world have been able to extract, cannot pay the cost of producing it.
think of it this way:
You produce a little car that can drive 2 people and some bags around, it costs you $1000 to make and you sell it for $3000 which a ton of people can afford… you have a path to profitability
I enter the market with a car that can carry 20 people, plus full on luggage for all and it moves twice as fast… but, in practice, I can only really move 3 people and often take them the wrong way, also the luggage was a complete lie and I can only allow passengers with their purses… also my car cost $50,000 to make so I would have to sell it for $70,000 and nobody would pay that when they could get 20 of your cars for less… also also, I promised the people making some parts of my car that would invest 7 kajillion on their companies somehow.
Which company would succeed? yours or mine?

There is no difference anymore
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 days ago:
And even though NVIDIA is better place as they do produce something, but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.
NVIDIA could be left holding the bag on a super increased capacity to produce something that nobody wants anymore (or at least nowhere near at the levels we have now) so they are still very much exposed.

What? there was no such thing a “bubble” around the Metaverse… (at least not the economic slang term “bubble”)
From the first video of the Zuck presenting the idea, everyone just laugh it off… Meta did waste tons of money on it but they had the money to burn so there was no bubble at all in play here
If I am rich and stupid, I may think a pool in the roof of my house is a great idea. I can spend the value of the house having it built and then have the house collapse on me. Since I am rich, I can just buy another house or pay to rebuild it and that’s the end… no bubble.
However, if I am pitching plans for pools on roofs… and millions of people buy into it, many of whom can barely afford my terrible plans, when the houses start collapsing, too many people will be left with no house or means to procure another one… that’s a bubble

- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 3 days ago:
Galetti also espoused the benefits of AI in her message to employees, and claimed the oft-criticized technology is already allowing companies like Amazon to “innovate much faster than ever before.” She suggested it’s important for the company to reduce its headcount in order to take advantage of the perceived opportunity presented by the tech.
This screams of, we need to cut heads so we can pretend to be innovating with AI somehow
Most likely, they are just hiding all the sunken AI investment that has returned nothing in terms of revenue
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 4 days ago:
long past the point of continuing to extend the courtesy they constantly deny everyone else
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 4 days ago:
Not almost, it is exactly that
Microsoft could have issued a note to the tone of “we were not consulted” but their vaporware spine did not amount to even that little

so if you want to be a pedophile, senile, racist with a full diaper, play Halo… got it Microsoft

- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 2 weeks ago:
The point is they are still selling licenses… it’s not a free service people use by default
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 2 weeks ago:
I’d say you are half right… Microsoft is definitely treating “us” as product yet this is not a facebook situation where people just use it out of convenience because it’s free and their friends are in it. MS still depends on sales of licenses and they seem to be further on the ledge there.
One of the pillars that cement MS in the corporate world was that everyone basically already knew how to use it… but that is eroding further and further as well… and I for one, constantly complain to my company’s “security” team about the constant bombardment of ads and prompts to “upgrade” in enterprise level software

same… I couldn’t care less about titles or office politics… I just want some challenging work to do and a path to work-life balance
- Comment on Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21. 3 weeks ago:
The idea is that if you focus on the work, all of that would/should follow…
I have read a few anecdotes from scholars basically confirming this: they were doing “everything right” and getting nowhere but the moment they decided to just do the work that makes them happy, all the titles and positions followed.
I believe Patricia Ryan Madson is one such story although not in a scientific branch. IIRC, she could not get permanent positions in any university even though she had a “perfect resume” but then decided to follow her passion and her career just took off.
I know this is idealistic, but I still wish this were how the world works

it’s not that type of channel… they never do more than a percentage or a rate.
their thing is to explain concepts in a way a young audience can digest them
