CZ has no choice but to cover the losses. If he doesn't I think Binance goes under due to catastrophic loss of confidence in the platform.

Does he still think that? A lot has changed in a year.

It looks like old.reddit.com still works but requires logging in. Not having to log in was a huge feature for old.reddit.com. Sucks to see it go, but it was inevitable.

"We have SpaceX at home." It's called NASA.

It's bureaucratic, inefficient, and is the reason why SpaceX exists in the first place. SpaceX needs strong competition. So far Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance haven't fit the bill.

> So they're legally required to buy out contracts if they want to get rid of a substantial number of workers in a short period of time

Sounds like you might be European. The US doesn't have contracts for salaried employees most of the time. In the event of a layoff, no notice is required, no mutual termination agreement needed, no consultation takes place. You are terminated (sometimes effective immediately) and if you're lucky you may get a severance package, which is not required by law.

Those who work in datacenter construction or buildouts, what is it like right now? It is balls to the wall with unlimited overtime?

This is a little off topic but my theory about the value of humanity and consciousness is its uniqueness. If you could perfectly clone a single person hundreds or thousands of times, knocking one off seems less distasteful.

You can replicate AI models ad infinitum, so the value of an individual instance is negligible.

>That doesn't sound like the same bar as "most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built"

It's up there. I think most humans would be convinced they're talking to a human. I assumed you've used other speech models. They are okay, but not as natural and imperfect as Dessa is.

> They're trying to turn us all into jobless slaves and sex workers.

Speak for yourself, I don't think there is a market for many of us as the latter.
