mgh2··on Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years
Can't the government step in and break the cartel like they did in 2010? I guess not because this was entirely driven by market demand and not manufactured supply restriction.
mgh2··on Accenture shares fall to lowest since 2017 as AI threat mounts
Your POV can be biased. I don't have an insider view, just what media investigates.

mgh2··on SpaceX sheds $400B in market value as debut rally hits reverse
They are buying their time (6 months) before being included in the S&P500s, causing another inevitable surge in forced "demand".

Appearance is part of the game.

It is either going to Palantir or the Saaspocalypse - a bs. industry is finally facing its reckoning.

mgh2··on Bitcoin Has Longest Losing Streak Since August in Bruising Week
Yeah, all it takes is a shift in the narrative to trigger capital reallocation.

Props for standing up for the truth
mgh2··on More than 6 out of 10 people turn to AI for psychological support
Yes, this seems unusually and suspiciously high. Given that Axa is an insurance and investment company, may have some conflict of interest.

mgh2··on Do turmeric and curcumin have any actual health benefits?
Not useless if it pinpointed that most of the foundational research papers that initiated this trend were of dubious intellectual integrity- i.e. the source was compromised
mgh2··on Majorana 2: Microsoft's new quantum chip
Seems like an ad for agentic AI, until its implications:

mgh2··on Michael Burry says neither SpaceX nor Anthropic is worth $1T
Sure, no one can predict the future. But even then, Tesla's fundamentals are shaky and it is held by Musk's ability to sell his story and brand, only some fundamentals hold- albeit the same 'fans' buying its cars might be invested in its stock. Same thing might be happening with Nvidia- hyperscalers heavily investing in infrastructure and pushing AI adoption to justify ROI.
mgh2··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
Explain to me how crashes work then, isn't it when there is an inconsistency on supply vs. demand?

It just takes a narrative shift to tumble it - ex: quantum to break crypto security.

mgh2··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
The crypto market is 2.5T, essentially money parked in nonproductive assets. A simple public awakening and reallocation will suffice.
mgh2··on I analysed 20 years of my chats
Of course you have to be proactive, but even then, people for any reason, might not be open to connect - language, culture, clique, personality, etc. You just have to find the tribe you vibe with, and that is mostly luck.
mgh2··on I analysed 20 years of my chats
This largely depends on luck, though it can improve your chances. There are places where you can be a regular your entire life and never meet a meaningful person, while at other times, simply being in the right place at the right time can lead you to someone with whom you develop a lifelong relationship.

Yes, the fabric of society is breaking down, with technology accelerating it: https://medium.com/@trendguardian/why-we-are-dispensable-7a5...
mgh2··on The Vatican-Anthropic relationship that's reshaping the AI ethics debate
That is just lazy thinking, exploiting a cognitive bias.
mgh2··on The Vatican-Anthropic relationship that's reshaping the AI ethics debate
> Western thinking considers absolutes, right & wrong, black & white. Eastern thinking considers truth relative and time cyclical.

Western culture is more direct and straightforward, while Eastern is the opposite. "Face saving, excuses, bs, white lies, hypocrisy, beating around the bush, etc." are all under the umbrella of lies in the West, not in the East.

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes" - Mark Twain

mgh2··on Is AI Profitable Yet?
The strategy of "scale for long term market dominance" or the idea of "build it and they will come" [1] were premised on the notion that adoption will be organic.

AI usage seems to have plateaued overall [2], except for niche use cases like coding, that is why companies are forcing it on their employees to justify ROI [3] or creating "products" w/ AI features [4] or embedded addiction.

mgh2··on The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam
The best people can do is to "vote with the wallets" aka attention: like social media, avoid using AI altogether no matter how "pervasive" they become, they will soon realize they won't need it as much as they think- overcome the addiction and brainwashing...
