ole Zuck just buying what he wants - for any price, cause that is what the richest in the world can do? Also using the market cap / paper valuation isn't aligned with 'actual value' imo.

I've always found it absurdly awkward to give companies personhood AND have them unable to be put into prison. I prefer how director level in EU seems to have some big responsibility.

I'd like to nominate, Amazon marketplace, Amazon Ads and AWS to be separate as well please. ;)

I would say he isn't what he once was, age will get us all. However 'has no taste anymore' is too far the other way AND 'tasteless boomer' is in itself a tasteless comment.

There are just a few reasons - humanoid make sense, mostly for multi purpose tasks - where if you want a robot to be multi-job, do almost everything a human can do at work --

If you want a weld you need a 1 arm robot, if a robot to weld, then stack, then push parts on a cart across the factory - then sweep up, then etc.. etc.. perhaps a humanoid is alright.

There will definitely be too many people comfortable with ownership / master relationship with a humanoid robot that will do their bidding.

I use Cursor, but funny enough it's 98% just using the codex plugin - I kept cursor around on the grand fathered $20 / 500 requests plan, if they un-grandfather me or things change too much I'll zip over to vscode.

The fact senators have been able to stay in the senate for 20+ years, means they are probably making plenty of money. We need another round of FBI bribe stings to clean things up

we have a really large version, in our factory for 20+ years - its a game changer for the folks who do the real work around here.

You only think you miss your Treo, our minds really put a glow on memories.

I was going the other way, it wasn't obvious enough that it was going to be a horizontal scroll or how to do it. Vertical spacing felt off and the 'defining game' card at the bottom of the video card is nice information but displayed in a distracting manner.

won't they just eventually have a 'log in with OpenAI' button similar to a 'login with Google' button?

Maybe a 'connect with OpenAI' button so the service can charge a fee, while allowing a bring your own token type hybrid.

I think chatGPT itself is an epic product, Cursor has insane growth and usage. I also think they are both over-hyped, have too much a valuation.

I've been reporting fake tesla and space x accounts so often on youtube - that I eventually wrote a script to copy and past into the report.

Most of the time they do get removed - sometimes successfully before the QRcode is displayed. They even bot the streams so it appears like 30-40k people are watching creating 'social proof'

Reminds me of this one [1]

I remember when I saw it I wanted to play with it - just seemed like a good way to organize things and 'play' with your desktop

you were only 350 from a macbook m1 air, at which point you remote into said windows machine and suffer less (as when you un-remote you have great laptop.
