A few psychology PHDs nestling in this. From the motivations to type the initial prompt all the way accross the reaction to the inevitable fallout afterwards.

the main issue is they don't account for the firesale prices when all these data centers need to liquidate their hardware in 3 to 5 years time. In 10 years time these ten billion dollar data centres today will have the compute of a flagship mobile phone..

They definately think.

The thinking process is just line their pockets with as much as possible before they lose their position to someone else.

Once you understand that everything is rational. If not desirable.

From the adminstration

Fed independance is about tempering that policy so UST still has buyers.

The administrations choices are fairly binary now.

Inflate away the $40Trillion+ debt they can never pay back

Or

Hard default on the debt, and be the one holding the hot potato as the union breaks up.

Fed is trying to thread the needle between the two and keep the music playing as long as possible.

The US ticked all the boxes that are credited with the break up of the USSR last year aiui.

Anyone not taking that seriously is in for the most hilarious of surprises.

I dont see how there would be remotely enough entropy in most model outputs for this to be close to feasible with any kind of accuracy.

Either they false positve on pretty much everything ever written, or the chances of catching a true positive is so low as to be useless.

Basically Cinavia for text, and that often falls over and is easy to remove even when there is megabytes of data streaming over a long period of time rather than 2 or 3 bits per wall of text, let alone what most people use claude for, when there is a strict dictionary and other tight output constraints.

Inflation is different.

Rule 72 is nominal prices.

Inflation accounts for a 2026 xbox being significantly more advanced technology than a PS1

Sounds about right.

"Prices double every 10 years" is a fairly standard economics benchmark.

Its 2026, that distinction doesn't exist any more. Android and ios devices are orders of magnitudes more powerful now than desktops were when desktop was actually important as a category.

There are zero android and ios users because reasons.

Realistically, windows probably doesnt even break 1% these days.

Different order of magnitude in my experience.

Wayland mouse movement lag is/can be/could/was in the order of several hundred milliseconds.

Its that that people notice, not 3 or 4ms difference in click response.
