Most dialogue in games is crap. I would much rather have an LLM writing the dialogue so that it can include references to player choices over what currently exists.

When I tried to use the deepseek api all my cards got declined. "Oh great" I thought "finally a use for my last $10 of crypto." But they dont accept crypto. Instead they want me to transfer money into a paypal account which takes a week.

Binance is probably worth at the very least $30 bil. They can get a loan to cover withdrawals if they need to. Crypto hedge funds would love to because a binance collapse is bad for everyone who is long crypto

Ive never had a meta account. Zuckerberg still has all my data and knows everything about me. At some point people decide its not worth hiding from mega corps

All the AI revenue is booked under GCP. This isnt any different from people saying openai and anthropic are selling a dollar for 50 cents

My understanding is that it’s close to impossible for a US resident to bring one of the Chinese EVs into the states. You have to live in Mexico

Mexican residents can bring a non us legal car to the us for up to a year. If you’re a US citizen living in Mexico it is more complicated but I think you should still be able to bring it for a year.

Google has spent $132 billion on capex this year. Most of that money is going to GCP. We have to think about the hundreds of billions being invested to contextualize the profit numbers. $40 bill a year is not enough to justify the capex they’re partaking in, GCP still needs to grow a lot to be successful.

Google is selling shovels. They spent $131 billion to produce shovels so far this year

Less than 15% of drugs that go through phase 1 trials end up passing phase 3. Drug discovery may be “easy” but we are not doing a very good job at it given the limited number of trials we can run. If AI can help rule out more of the molecules the hard part of the pharma business, running the trials, will become much more fruitful.

The next step is already mostly noise. Less than 15% of drugs that go through phase 1 trials end up passing phase 3. The goal here isn’t to do drug discovery faster, it’s to get that 15% number up.

Choosing the molecules is by far the most important part of drug discovery. It may only be 20% of the work, but everything downstream relies on it. If ai is able to change the odds of discovering a molecule that ends up passing phase 3 from eg 5% to 10% then you only have to do half as many trials to get the same number of drugs. So even though drug discovery doesn’t take a ton of time doing a better job at it can save huge amounts of time down the line.

The covid productivity spike is because all the low productivity retail workers got laid off. Then as they came back to work productivity went back down

I think this is a pretty decent idea and hopefully within a decade at least california will be doing it. The problem though is that the biggest advantage of an EV is that you charge it overnight and never need to worry about going to the gas station or running low on power. I think a pretty significant number of people would want 100% charge every morning which makes the total addressable battery size a good bit smaller.
