You will own nothing and be happy

I remember in the 2010s when people were saying Big Data is the new oil

Another one that comes to mind is Marge Simpson in the Hank Scorpio episode where all labor in the house was automated and she turns to drinking out of boredom.

People are feeling devalued. We can't see where the ball is going...

Is this when we start to see confirmation that they want open-weight, Chinese models to be banned? Because they have no moat

What disaster is Japan averting?

I'd love to have a source with those numbers please. They're not publicly traded companies so it's very difficult to find reliable information.

The story we were telling young people that if they apply themselves, go to school and get a job they'll be able to afford family, house, vacations is moving further and further away for more and more people.

The turn towards financial nihilism will continue.

Idea is that Trump would bailout AI companies and call it "job protection" or "America growth" or "national security" because they know the word 'bailout' is politically bad.

Other ideas discussed are that AI companies are going through a chain of larger and larger subsidies: VC --> Big Tech --> Governments. And that these companies haven't been able to make money off of AI so they're priming things for a bailout that's not a bailout wink wink. And that they foresee a situation where Trump will accept bribes in order to heavily regulate some AI companies but not others. Picking winners and losers.

I don't see any professionals turning to this for EMC/EMI testing, they already have all the test equipment for that job.

In my corner of the internet people started to recommend reading fiction rather than self-help. Books like the count of montecristo for example, where the characters overcome through perseverance, patience and planning.

The criticism of self-help books in my little internet bubble is that if you've read one you've read them all. So why not go for works of fiction that are time-tested and are greatly entertaining and nourishing?

It's seen as an existential threat to young people. If you can't get a job you starve.

Hallucinations are still a problem. I recently asked one to give me a quote from a book, figuring that since these AI companies have pirated all books in existence surely it can just recite a specific passage no? It hallucinated the quote, I had even told it what chapter it was in. Had I not read the book recently maybe I would've believed the hallucinated quote.

And it got me thinking, they sell these AIs as assistants, but it couldn't even look up a passage from a book. This is basic, elementary stuff, it should get it right. I would have fired this assistant right away if it were a person. Not only did it get it totally wrong, it came to me with utmost confidence that this is the quote from the book. Unreliable assistants? That's the product they're trying to sell? Get out of here with that trash. I can't trust it.

Oh brother, gas goes up in a hurry, it takes its sweet time to come down.
