It seems to me like the "generation" use case of ML is much more promising than the "prediction" or "classification" use case. It's tough to predict things in general because our universe is fundamentally uncertain. How is some computer going to predict that some mugger sees a target at some random spot and decides to mug them? But the progress in text to image and text generation really blows my mind.

I've heard chatter of Michelle Obama running, which I think would certainly make for a close race.

Eh, sounds like most of big tech TBH. When you're dealing with a money faucet situation it can be tough to tell what's a good decision and what's a bad decision since either choice will result in increased profits. That is, until the fed crashes the party.

Wow. I had no idea that these things had such fundamental limitations. I'd feel a lot less safer using one now, to be honest. If you had to estimate, how long would it be before AVs would be able to do all their calculations locally? Is that something that's even under consideration at the time?

First, it was "you're fired". That became too harsh so then we moved on to "layoffs". But that seeped into the popular lexicon too, so nowadays we say "your role has been impacted". I wonder what the next evolution will be. Maybe "we are enabling you to help the company cut costs" or something.

People will always find ways to screw themselves up. Trying to ban this or ban that is like playing whack a mole. It ends up being a contest of who can shout the loudest to gain the government's attention, which isn't fair and also hurts the economy. The only answer in my opinion is deregulation + strong family values to help raise kids right.

I'll let the other commenters do the debunking of this extremely stupid point you made - just want to point out that this is so clearly some shitty troll account. 5 months old and all the comments are idiotic crap like this.

The only people who this is an unpopular opinion to are the rich fat cat execs who only care about their profits and share prices. Pretty much everyone I know thinks it was a bad idea to outsource manufacturing to less than friendly countries. Thanks, Krugman.

I've read a few of Zeihan's books, and it seems like the author of this article is missing the point. Zeihan says, again and again, that basically the ONLY reason for the US pulling away from globalization is the new shale oil boom, which makes the country energy independent. My layman's understanding is that under the Biden administration regulators have hobbled these shale wells in the hope of achieving an energy "transition", whatever that may mean. So we aren't really energy independent after all, at least not until the transition is completed. So I'm not sure how the conclusions of the article really make sense, notwithstanding the many references to how you could get rich quick by betting on these outcomes.

This is one of the only instances where it's ok to ask: AAAAUUUUUGH how do I get these freaky bugs out of my head!?!?!?

I think it's more so that they fear the fed can't stop inflation without causing a recession. So they are holding cash as they think there's still a lot more pain yet to come in the markets. If inflation is 10%, but equities decline by 40%, then you're better off holding cash than equities.

I'm trying to think, do we have ANYTHING that gets even close to the criteria of 10k years? Yes, there's the bible and stuff, but that's not even close to 10k years old. It might be impossible on earth.

Your best bet may be to come up with some mathematical representation of the haiku, like the arecibo message, and send thousands of copies of it into the solar system, and hope that 10k years from now we will have the technology to find and decipher them.

Crypto really seems to attract some serious douche bags. I don't have any significant hate for crypto devs (at least they have some technical interests and talents), but any of these MBA type crypto people, I would definitely have second thoughts about hiring in the future.

Lol. Dish is such a dog shit company. They probably pay their employees like shit, so they can't compete technologically, so all they can really do is try to get daddy government to shut down innovation.
