I think competition is still absolutely necessary with heavy restrictions.

Much of the consolidation locations of food production is how illnesses spread among farm animals. I could get eggs from a local farmer because their birds don't socialize around birds with the flu.

Just my take on the matter. It is important to balance the sources.


His voice has a huge impact on so many forms of media from video games, movies, tv shows and radio. I'll miss him. I've been missing him since he couldn't use his distinct voice for many years. Miss him more that he is no longer with us.

The lights are not just impacting space but ecosystems switching to LEDs can save ecosystems too.


100x this it is why all of the AI giants are going to fail. They are too big and inefficient to scale properly. This is why Google is just casually taking its time in AI and not racing to a finish line. AI is essential but if it already does most things good enough then it can take longer to make it more efficient.


Crypto is just unregulated stocks.


This article is about how crypto is so much worse than that. A stock is a hedge on the realities like expected revenue of a corporation. Crypto doesn't have enough reality underpinning it, it's almost always pure gambling, often exactly the negative sum gambling of a casino (the house always wins).


Indeed. The more you do to add complexity or generate without ensuring it isn't pointless code adds bloat. It is still probably more MVP than junk developers will do, but not ever anywhere near as great as someone who studies a programming language.


Most are. Some are paid for.

I'm not saying AI isn't a good tool. However the less you understand what you're using and what you're doing the further you stand to geopardize the business you're working for.


This is a reasonable take with possibilities of introducing ways to expedite the verification of researchers and contributors. Foreign or not.

The problem with scientific papers is that there is an exploitive macro economy of how many one can publish without sold evidence or research attached to the paper itself.


So, you’re saying the solution to papers not being adequately peer reviewed (which is a strong claim that I disagree with) is to use political ideology tests to let the current administration arbitrarily decide who is allowed to publish?


I am actually not for the current administration. However having legal and regulatory standards on scientific papers is essential. I just wish it was established under a different administration so it could establish pathways to ensure international collaboration.


This tactic is wearing thin on investors. All companies doing layoffs as of recent have started to lose share value. AI or not.

I think investors are starting to see stress on the market for fewer working people contributing back as customers and investors themselves. This creates depreciation in share value as no one is willing to invest.


It helps to think of investors in tiers. The lower tiers mimic higher ups. Each tier has two orders of magnitude deeper pockets than the lower tier.

At the very top are the big investment banks and fund houses, berkshire. Second are smaller institutions and third retail/individual.

The top two layers demand a steady return, never losing money on average in any 36 month window. Otherwise it triggers a selloff top down to cover for it.

The bottom follows the top so the selloff or buy just gets mimicked, with the top tier never losing (the bottom layers make sure of it by following blindly)

With wild indicators already set a massive selloff should have already been in motion, but its not. The top tier is getting more greedy.

No one is betting on AI long term. Everyone's in for the ride. As always the bottom will feed the top.


Also to add investors know stock can't keep winning. They will diversify before too long and doing more splits does not ensure more value as it depreciates.

Nvidia is worth so much if it fails it takes investments with it. The risk is too high.


yes I don't like the term investor anymore, because there aren't anymore. in my mind I just switch the word to a compulsive gambler or at best a speculator. and everything else is just bots.


Ahem, the word trader fits it lol


They are opportunistic. They are using it as a scapegoat to lay off people they over-hired for for the growth they had during COVID. They are also using it as a scapegoat to offshore more and more labor.
