Already 8 years and being non profitable is forgivable for a hardware startup creating something new, especially a new silicon.

Depends why they are losing money. But losing money alone is not bad. This ain't an ice cream truck.

Agree groq implodes if demand for intellegent automation tanks (i.e. bubble burst), or competitors disrupt the disruptor. Another Z is all you need paper means my old laptop is running models fast or something means groq is not something you need.

They can probably pivot.

BTW OpenAI is 9 years old and they are a SaaS/PaaS running on Azure.

They never say that.

They say: Tesla shares up as revealations surface that the wind is blowing east.

Yes I forgot to mention the implied: Homes, that meet code, with connected utilities in places people want to live that are not being landbanked.

Hard to know that unless you got some inside to what they were thinking during hire.

If it worked I wonder if it worked as a shibboleth.

Friendly would be win win. We'll pay you so you dont worry about money, and we win because you are great. Batna (looks better as a word) is there but in the distance.

Thanks for putting meat on the (speculitive) bone I threw out! Very interesting.

Yeah I am not saying all the time, but I am saying when it happens it can br less bounded than "human population growth in the early 21st century."

BATNA is kind of a dog whistle that this is a slighty hostile business deal. Hostile under the hood. Smiles and handshakes on the surface.

1. Tell them you have one other offer (or late stage interview).

2. Ask for more money and/or more shares (if you think the shares are any good).

Yeah. Nah that makes you sound silly (at least for software jobs) unless there is a good reason for it, like currency conversions or peverse tax incentives.

There is a tiny chance that asking for 133700 might get a smile at a smaller tech focused company though.

Why is fertility declining? I posit we are hitting non-food constraints. Political ones. Land use constraints. If you build millions of homes fertility will go up.

Bitcoin is a pure exanple thay shows the limit to energy consumption is how much money people have to throw at it. And if that money is thrown into generating more energy it is a cycle. There is no stomach size and human reproduction constraints. We can waste power as quickly as we can generate more.

The only hope is to generate this power greenly.

How is this a narrow niche?

Chain of thought type operations is in this "niche".

Also anything where the value is in the follow up chat not the one shot.
