Thankfully GPT-Sol is pretty cavalier with academic paper IP.

Sci-hub doesn't work anymore but I can at least ask GPT what a paper says

> Anthropic won't let people make video games.

Wait, what?

> Wall Street banks earlier this week closed the North Star deal, which provides the financing for Anthropic to lease 1.5 gigawatts of Google’s semiconductors.

This line is certainly eyebrow-raising to the educated layman.

Apparently it means that anthropic is leasing a Google data center whose constituent servers draw 1.5 GW of power running representative workloads.

Maybe just do something bloodthirsty and populist like bail out the company and execute the leadership.

Because a bunch of people become homeless, commit suicide, and otherwise suffer.

Feel free to run for office on a "periodic culling" platform, though

Gig worker goes to Point A, receives a package, and brings it to Point B?

They seem like near-identical businesses to me.

An actual generation scheme would probably do something with the potential difference prior to dielectric breakdown actually occurring, at any rate.

Yeah, I mean it's sort of galling.

However, if they're at parity then the incentive is to just squeeze your assets for as much income as possible until you run their value into the ground. Which seems like a pressure for business owners / shareholders to be even more short-sighted than they already are.

Which is also my objection to a wealth tax actually (incentive to tank paper value of all holdings).

IDK. Taxation is sort of a blunt instrument and seems woefully inefficient compared to nationalizing assets on a case-by-case basis.

I would, uh, not describe modern emacs as "parsimonious"

you can get a dog and call it vi

Are you referring to Mein Kampf?

They're currently a replacement for dividends because dividends are less tax-efficient than stock buybacks.

I struggle with the same initial impression as you, and have reached an uneasy peace with the status quo by telling myself that the stock price is about the amount of dividends the company could issue in a dividend-friendlier tax environment, once its growth plateaus and it goes into cash-cow mode.

Well. At least I can ask an LLM about the contents of papers I can't access!

Wouldn't land capable of sustaining an off-grid independent community be impossible to acquire (or retain) in this scenario?

Taxation is probably a dead end, vs actually nationalizing and re-tasking relevant assets on a case-by-case basis.
