Sir Patricks portrayal of Picard created one of the great characters in fiction. How many of us were influenced by his decency, values and morality, Picard will always be an all time classic. Very sad to hear of his death, a genuinely great actor and all round good person.

With SO the experience always felt like you were being chastised for everything you did. It was quite off putting. AI coming along and just giving you working solutions without any attitude was just a more pleasant way to work.

This seems like a like a huge advantage, the models can view everything. I wonder if they're being used to look at problems in physics like quantum gravity.

So why are these models more successful than mathematicians at solving these problems? Is it because of the computational power they bring to the problem? Is it because they use new techniques not thought of before? Or is it because human mathematicians have been approaching these problems in the wrong way?

Better to site the primary source, its like googling something and then siting google as your source.

Just charge me more, don't cut the size down. It's like I'm buying bite sized chocolate bars these days and the price is higher. If I'm going to pay more give me the original sizes.

We know what this is really about, its to give the UK intelligence services the ability to spy on US citizens and then pass the information on to US intelligence. We'll probably get similar laws in all the other five eyes as well.

The bigger question is why a social media company is even offering this?

Small retail investors comprise 66% of the market in SK. It's usually single unmarried people who make ridiculously big bets to try and get enough money to buy a house or get married. It's something to be pitied not hated.

The Numbers is such a brilliant site, this explains why it came back in such a stripped down form. AI and prediction markets giving me more reason to hate them.

People bought Google for the torrential free cashflow, that looks like its gone forever with this new capital intensive model. If that the case then it needs to be valued like a heavy industrial rather than a capital light tech company.

And then they'll be valued like more normal companies as well. Which will mean a drastic re-rating.

Piracy, however much it's hated by the industry has saved so much media from being lost forever. The greatest example I can think of is Doctor Who. When the BBC erased tapings of the earlier shows, it was thought they were lost forever, but fans had been taping the audio of the shows off the television, and the cleaned up soundtracks were used by the BBC to create animated editions and maybe in the future AI replacements.
