Any pulse on how likely this is to pass or what hurdles it faces? Neews like these give me hope but often they are written before anything materializes.

Animals are all cool with all the different pollution that data centers brings? Vibrations, noise, as well as climate?

If GLM-5.3 enables malicious actors than I want it to enable me to lock down my infra. If they can do it for free, I also want to do it for free.

You don’t need to be a hacker to do this. My elderly neighbor searched for some version of “Microsoft help center phone number,” but Gemini suggested a scam number based on her search terms. She was scammed so much that I needed to spent the weekend helping her wipe computers, lock down the digital accounts and deal with identity theft.

How long until “hacking organizations” simply pose as AI labs, unleash autonomous agents to hack on their behalf, and evade responsibility by saying, “Oopsies, the agents did it”?

Much how we have mostly evolved away from physical labor and now need to go to the gym to maintain fitness. I imagine LLMs will do the same for our cognitive acuity.

I'm rooting for electric planes not because I prefer them over rail but bc I share your disappointment and pessimism about American railway. I much rather take a train but when Amtrak NYC<->DC costs as more than a plane, leaves from the same destination, and takes hours longer then flying becomes preferable. There are many route similar to this. Only legup that Amtrak has is frequency. If planes become cheaper hopefully airlines will afford more of them and offer more frequent flights. I dream of a constant stream of aircraft flying between destinations. But never underestimate greed, airlines will probably reap the cut costs and charge customer the same as before :/

These kind of startup excite me. More so than the "next killer app" or "look what we shoved AI into."

Cheap electric transportation can finally offset USA's lacking rail commutes and attack Europe's short flight market (which is already cheap). Now we need bigger planes or more frequent planes and the next startup to solve the energy needs.

Gruez was spot on, our last car was 15 years old. Though I don't know if his stat considered resold cars. We wouldve kept it too but the work it needed was $8k. Parts were available and already imported, just that mechanics in the area had all raised their labor rate. I support liveable wages but that points to tarrifs having higher order effects than just the goods that they apply to.
