I saw this on Reddit earlier today. Over there the source of this file was given as: https://web.archive.org/web/20251118111103/https://storage.g...

The bucket name "deepmind-media" has been used in the past on the deepmind official site, so it seems legit.

  Senior Raya Osagie, 16, said she has to “think more in class” because she used to Google answers or use artificial intelligence. “Now when we get computers, I actually have to [do] deep research instead of going straight to AI,” she said.
This kind of blew my mind a bit, as I had always imagined AI being used to do homework, hadn't occurred to me it could be used during a class as well.

The one I use the most is "cdn". It cds to the newest subdirectory.

So if you're in your projects folder and want to keep working on your latest project, I just type "cdn" to go there.

I find Sora refreshing in that I don't have to worry about being tricked by something fake. It's just a fun multiplayer slopfest.

I wonder what would be a good counter-investment if one thinks AI is in a bubble which is just about to burst.

Maybe consumer staples (Walmart, Pepsi etc.)? Dollar stores?

> That's not the only way to one could encode innate knowledge.

Maybe sections could be read from DNA and broadcast as action potentials?

There's already ribosomes that go over RNA. You'd need a variant which instead of making amino acids, would read out the base pairs and make something that causes action potentials to happen based on the contents.

Sorry for possibly an ignorant question as I don't know much about research.

Do you think if you manage to have an exit from a startup, you might be able to return to research (at a university) but then be your own funder, so that you could then research whatever you want?

Exactly, felt like the wristband was the big thing. I don't want the glasses, but I'm somewhat curious if it'd be useful as an extra input device when using a computer.

For Roblox I haven't seen the returns getting smaller. I've had a bunch of smallish games there for a few years, and it has been stable.

While there is a ridiculous amount of competition, so far it has been offset by platform expansion. When I started in 2020 the whole platform had about 30M daily active users. Now over 110M. Maybe my share of plays has shrunk, but it's now from a much bigger pie.

(I don't know if this holds true generally or if my games have somehow persisted better than the average game)
