I was hoping a 2-in-1 foldable that acts like an iPad too. I have been waiting decades for that.

I read about the cobalt mines in college. I care. If it comes off as snarky, maybe you should have empathy for enslaved people in Africa instead of peons being replaced in first-world countries.

"Any NP complete problem can be changed into 3SAT in polynomial time" - if I remember correctly, turning an NP-complete problem into 3SAT is not part of the problem statement - it just means that when working with NP-complete problems, they are always translated to 3SAT first, and whenever someone is trying to prove something they are working against 3SAT.

From 'Transcendence' (2014):

The Supreme Court decided our President in 2000. I think the secret is that Alphabet agencies don't actually care about elections - otherwise it would have not reached the Supreme Court. If I was an Alphabet agency, instead of choosing a predetermined fate and faking things, I would admit I was weak if I could not handle any outcome. That is the joke I think the Alphabet agencies pull. They could force things to go their way, but that would breed weakness in themselves for being unable to handle events that do not, and they know it.

There is a point at which simulating reality just gets depressing - that is what I learned about myself from that.

If your belief is accurate, we should expect China to short the IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI and release better frontier models immediately after their IPOs.

Does anyone think that likely? I have no clue or bias.

'Everything is a depreciating asset' is a fair statement - but things depreciate at exponentially different levels. A lot of things can be bought today which can be used for the same purpose just as efficiently in 10 years - and there are those which do not meet that criteria.

Then how do you explain the capitalization of nVidia?

Chips are automatically a depreciating asset - is there a historical basis for understanding how that affects companies, and how that will affect GPU-centric companies?

My favorite dude. Imagine one of the world's smartest people almost continually killing himself because he can't stop reading while driving.
