fullshark··on How we lost communication to entertainment
Economics. Entertainment and monetizing eyeballs is much more lucrative than charging for communication services.
fullshark··on How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
It's an overcorrection for years of western arrogance being expressed in the past decade+. I think most people have woken up by now to the reality of Chinese manufacturing dominance and what that implies, at least those in power and journalists.
fullshark··on AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'
Or maybe they realize the AI needs humans in the loop for the foreseeable future for enterprise use cases and juniors (and people from LCL areas) are cheaper and make the economics make some sort of sense.
fullshark··on Databricks is Raising >$4B Series L at $134B Valuation
Why is this company worth 2x Snowflake's value?
fullshark··on YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same
Yeah I just took it away from her and she no longer lashes out at me like a crack addict trying to bargain for her fix, that's been a much better move for both of us I've found.
fullshark··on YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same
My kid found work arounds for that. For example she reset the ipad's clock to give herself more time. It really is like a drug to these children and they will lash out at you if you take it away.
fullshark··on McDonald's removes AI-generated ad after backlash
People on social media are not known for being so even keeled and nuanced
fullshark··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
Hindsight is 20/20 and the Innovator's Dilemma is very real.
fullshark··on Instagram chief orders staff back to the office five days a week in 2026
Well I don't trust my employer so...
fullshark··on Tesla's Cybertruck is turning 2. It's been a big flop
A lucky break for Tesla, which is now a check notes robotics company. If it had been a success it would have taken their attention away from innovation in a truly profitable business space and they'd just be a car company.
fullshark··on Bringing Sexy Back. Internet surveillance has killed eroticism
An absurd piece, by a way too online person who seemingly realized they are way too online and thinks everyone else suffers from their affliction.
fullshark··on Investors expect AI use to soar. That's not happening
This is how VC and on some level professional success always worked. Gotta be in the right place, knowing the right people, at the right time. Although the scale and speed is more absurd.
fullshark··on Investors expect AI use to soar. That's not happening
I think it's that employees are afraid to say they use AI and executives are eager to say they use AI. Managers of course occupy both worlds.
fullshark··on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207B by 2030
Ads/porn I get but how does genAI powered gambling work?
fullshark··on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207B by 2030
"If you owe the cloud computing company a hundred dollars, it's your problem, but if you owe the cloud computing company 207 billion dollars..."
fullshark··on What OpenAI did when ChatGPT users lost touch with reality
The tech industry's capacity to rationalize anything, including psychosis, as long as it can make money off it is truly incredible. Even the temporarily embarrassed founders that populate this message board do it openly.
fullshark··on Peter Thiel sells off all Nvidia stock, stirring bubble fears
Yeah it's funny when you read his antichrist ramblings, it's essentially the antichrist will come in the form of a leader arguing for wealth redistribution via collective action. This is what instills sheer terror in the billionaire class.
fullshark··on Being poor vs. being broke
There's a comment here making exactly that claim.
fullshark··on Being poor vs. being broke
It's interesting how many comments here are knee jerk annoyance at this blogpost, which in my mind does a good job outlining two different financial situations and how flippant suggested solutions for escaping poverty don't make sense.

The fact that many of us here have so much compared to others in our community however you define it is disturbing and not helpful information for our day to day lives so we do what we can to ignore it.

fullshark··on Oracle hit hard in Wall Street's tech sell-off over its AI bet
AI's consumer monetization will be ad-based or as a feature for a product users want to pay for. Businesses will be the primary customer for AI.
fullshark··on Oracle hit hard in Wall Street's tech sell-off over its AI bet
Market is rallying cause there is too much money chasing too few assets. PE ratios will not drop significantly baring catastrophe and then financial contagion. After that happens the money printer is turned back on and then...
fullshark··on I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla
They want to browse the internet, and really that means browse the three sites they care about. They aren't going to change their browser cause of AI capabilities, so ultimately it doesn't matter. It's like arguing over whether users want dark mode. Some do, it's not going to change market share meaningfully.
fullshark··on AI isn't replacing jobs. AI spending is
> If software engineering is not special and can be done by anyone, so can any other role in a business.

What's the logic here other than "coders are the top tier of the labor market" arrogance?

fullshark··on $1T in tech stocks sold off as market grows skeptical of AI
This narrative that retail is constantly panicking and selling every time the market drops is it based in anything? I'm under the impression the massive volume of buying/selling every day is institutional, and institutional investors/hedge funds are the ones constantly adjusting based on how data moves.
fullshark··on Michael Burry a.k.a. "Big Short",discloses $1.1B bet against Nvidia&Palantir
He has no idea, I'm guessing it's wishful thinking, likely from a political partisan, or someone with a lot of dry powder trying to enter the stock market after a correction.
fullshark··on [dead]
Easy access to vices is how we are placating a working class devoid of economic opportunities.
fullshark··on GLP-1 therapeutics: Their emerging role in alcohol and substance use disorders
This was the framing behind James Burke's Connections if I recall, a wonderful documentary series.
fullshark··on Grammarly rebrands to 'Superhuman,' launches a new AI assistant
This company cannot afford to ignore LLMs.
fullshark··on The U.S. Is on Track to Lose a War with China
This became clear to US leadership after COVID at the latest on both sides of the aisle. No coherent strategy (see how the Chips act has morphed into the US nationalizing 10% of intel) to deal with it.
fullshark··on It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts
The complaint is because people (marketers and people marketing themselves) are not using it that way, and instead are using it to generate low value blogspam.
