Presumable a handful do, in the short term at least.

No.

In 2008 George Bush was president and he's the one who signed the bailout proposed by his treasury secretary. It would have happened under Democrats too no doubt, but saying it was done by Democrats and Republicans have no interest in them is just not true to reality.

This is just like when crypto people were pretending their NFT/metaverse games were fun, it's pretty funny.

The tech industry has been getting away with doing gross things for a long time now and people are sick of it. Every year people see news of tech giants breaking the law and getting a billion dollar fine and every year they also see on the news those companies make increasingly absurd profits.

Google and facebook are the face of the destruction of privacy. On every announcement that gets posted of Google doing yet again something that increases their control over what you do, in order to serve more ads, people always comment about wanting it broken up.

Hate and distrust of the tech industry is probably the most common opinion across all demographics, other than SV residents I suppose.

I guess they see AI companies either get bought or receive funding for billions and desperately want a piece of that pie so will do anything to make their company at least look like an AI company i.e. "AI-first".

I guarantee you he chats with an LLM on a daily basis.

I'm not sure common urban/highway speed limits like 30mph/70-75mph line up better than the 50kmh/100-110kmh you see in Canada.

Newer platforms will tend to skew younger for sure. I was too young to get into irc really but even when I was young instant messaging services like MSN Messenger were vastly more mainstream than forums. So maybe it's not really based on age.

But I do see, generally young, people join niche discords that don't necessarily see 24/7 activity say something like "Hey anyone here?" then a few minutes later "lol dead server". I think it's because for a lot of younger people they mostly want the socialization aspect over just a place to share about a hobby. They go on discord when they want to talk to people.

Discord is popular because a very significant amount of people prefer the casual social instant chatting aspect over the slower threaded style of forums, especially young people.

The 80's Japanese train station clip also had the conductor speaking clear english in an accent I can't quite place. Slight British tinge to it but not really? Not sure. The ambient audio also makes no sense.

I've seen weird stuff in images that OpenAI sends me in it's promotional emails too. I would think that if you were trying to show off you'd make sure there's none of these obvious AI issues in what you choose to show off with. Maybe they don't really care? "Gemini choose 10 scenes that would be impressive for our announcement and add them to the post."

What's the token spend ratio between a household vs a software developer? If the future customer growth comes from regular households I don't think very much of them will spend nearly as much.

That SpaceX's valuation is almost entirely from being an AI company not a rocket company. Their S-1 put rockets as around 5% of their TAM.

Generic sales copy used to mostly just be a thing for business sites and Linkedin. I suppose since this site is trying to sell the map it basically is one.

It's not something unique to reddit, even classic forums will often have a self promotion section or thread, Discord servers will often have a self promotion channel. HN has a guideline against posting your own stuff too much.

Spam is a problem and has been since the dawn of the internet. Efforts to limit it will always affect innocent people to some degree but it's not really feasible to not do anything. And reddit especially has an astroturfing problem since it became such a popular source for recommendations. Like, just looking at GP's profile here kinda adds some context as to why they might say this change makes reddit useless to them.

Eh don't beat yourself up. Value for these sorts of things are extremely condition dependent, if you were playing with them then they would already not be in the condition to fetch these kinds of price.
