Most of it comes from concerns about water and electricity rates sky rocketing and also simply not being available when humans need it. At least at the local level.

I remember these debates about the Fred Astaire dirt devil advertisement which was over 25 years ago now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3JzxlcKBs.

At the end of the day I think if people find the use of AI charming/effective to resurrect dead celebrities they will go along with it. This sounds like a horrible tv show/use case but by and large audiences just want to be entertained and will accept "ghoulish" resurrections if it is entertaining. Darth Vader's voice will be around for quite a bit longer for example.

Aka advertising.

I think he wanted to have it on Treasure Island at one point also

Serves them right, it was obvious BS, likely cause the return on investment for frontier training is not there anymore. They didn't think through the implications of the "We're responsible stewards now" PR.

I believe a temperance movement is on the horizon. The fact that we've turned smartphones into vice dispensers (and surveillance devices but that's another topic) is one of the greatest failures of western society.

Maybe they learned from their blunder with the ID Buzz. At this point though I simply don't trust any legacy automaker when it comes to producing and supporting EVs for their lifetime.

Technology is more feasible than politically driven "degrowth" or any of the other proposals.

It's made of incentives that promote low calorie information and outright falsehoods.

More like social media sucks

This article was terrible, one data point contradicting the headline, then 4 quotes devoid of meaning.

RIP His soul is escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

Not useful as soldiers even, and that includes those on the enemy side.

Pay them with chocolate rations or higher status bunk beds.

"The Internet is over" - Prince in 2010.

A quote that we all laughed at but I think he maybe was right.

I don't agree and the hype surrounding his efforts was something much greater than what KahnAcademy actually is (a very useful resource).

He sold his vision in "The One World Schoolhouse" which was essentially global learning via all the best videos (and one unified curriculum) you can make and teachers effectively being technicians/teaching assistants. It was the vision that utopian minded technologists craved in the early aughts.

Genuine craft and human ingenuity can be a wonderful thing. Technology is a force multiplier and it's not always going to lead to better results in lesser hands.

In general there's also a problem that cinematography has gone to hell in filmmaking, because they want to be able to incorporate CGI more (cost) effectively and that means things like proper lighting and color grading is no longer utilized.

Absolutely, having Deckard be a "weak" replicant makes no narrative sense, and it also makes no sense thematically. It's about a human hunting machines and finding the humanity in the machines and discovering what humanity is lacking in himself. It's important that the line is blurred, but it's also important that he's not actually a replicant.

Almost all tweets are ads/PR

Yeah it's really amazing how prescient these books are given when they were written. I wish I enjoyed them more, I'm reading Mona Lisa Overdrive now and other than intellectual admiration of it all I mostly find the Sprawl trilogy a chore to get through. I don't enjoy the prose, and how dense it is I guess cause I am not a careful reader.

They'll have no problem hiring, maybe one or two employees who deliver 10x will get demoralized and quit but this will not change a thing realistically re: their work force.

Just need a larger emergency fund to mitigate the risk, especially if you work in tech and you feel the crash would heavily impact your labor earnings (including possibly extended unemployment)

I'd kill my political career for the private sector rewards sure to follow.

The need for telemetry data for advertising/tracking, bloat in both software + their organization, having a monopoly and not having to worry about turning off users due to buggy software.

Their strategy to let Siri stagnate for 15 years and let everyone else take that market? Their strategy to put a bunch of not ready for consumer use AI features on their devices and then roll them back?

They just have such a strong hardware + os ecosystem that they can sit on the sidelines. They'll be able to negotiate with some LLM provider at a good discount when the time is right and put harnesses around it for actual useful features.

The analysis mentions this, says it's a factor and links to:

The post WW2 boom in America was an exceptional time. This is the status quo for humanity.

And it worked. And whatever schemes he has in mind to have Space X merge with Tesla to increase market cap further will work too.

So you think he's not dimwitted? And instead of making an argument you just insulted the OP needlessly?

Let me guess is your argument: "He built a trillion dollar company and you didn't"

Because we don’t want to be left behind as members of the permanent underclass. Unless you own the god machine or work on improving it you don’t matter.
