As obvious as it is once you think about it, people don't seem to realize ChatGPT is an LLM, a large LANGUAGE model, not a large knowledge model.

Its response from a linguistic perspective, was valid and "human-like", which is what it was trained for.

The gold mining company can generate future incoming cashflows, gold doesn't.

In my experience, in most countries (and outside the US especially) WhatsApp has already won the network effects battle, and it's the default messaging app in any smartphone. Even people with iPhone will all have WhatsApp installed.

That doesn't sound right. I believe he was referring to 30% and 60+% making it 90+% who haven't touched crypto at all. Or in other words, at most the US crypto population would be under 10%. To me, that still sounds generous, and I would expect the actual number to be around a few percentage points only, but I don't have any data to back it up.

Where I'm from, discussing with friends and acquaintances in real life, I haven't been able to find anybody at all who owns any cryptocurrencies whatsoever. So, there certainly might be a bubble (price market exceeding utility), but at this stage it would affect a very insignificant percentage of the overall population.

   >>with my Apple Watch I am more physically fit.

Can you expand on that? I would be careful before making such a claim because of a watch; unless of course you're referring to the extra weight of the device... /s

   >>And I can leave my phone in my pocket and still not miss anything important. Improved focus.

Have you actually used a Pebble Time? You also get notifications, so I don't see why you would miss stuff

   >>And I don't have to put my phone under my freaking pillow to get my alarm to go off at the right time.

You don't need to do that either with any smartwatch. Why do you compare it to a phone?

   >>And I also have a night-light on my wrist, which is super useful when I gotta get up and take a pee or something.

Other smartwatches (and traditional watches) including the Pebble Time have backlight.

   >>Only need to take it off when I wake up for about half an hour. While I shower and what not. Works for me.

With the Pebble Time (or others) you don't even need to do that; for an entire week.

I'm sure there are good reasons to purchase an Apple Watch specifically, but I believe the ones listed above are true for most smartwatches

Of course you're saying that, you're the devil /s

To be honest, I didn't think this Bloomberg piece was worth it; and I did perceive the advice from Elon ("stick to what we do best and focused") to be more about a focus on execution than to stay away from self-driving cars, which in my view seems quite reasonable for an earlier stage company.

That's a great point; it goes both ways though. No media statement should simply be taken at face value in this type of international conflicts, whether it is RT or the NYT.

> "Europe is not a single entity and never will be."

Having lived in several European countries myself (Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland) I can only agree with the first part of the statement. It is not like California and Kansas are very similar either, yet they are part of the same country.

To me the current issue is not the people but politics, and the desire of sovereign countries not to relinquish power to a supranational entity. This is a process that takes time (and typically requires a catalyzer).

Whether the union will succeed or not, time will tell, but in the last 15 years Europe has clearly been converging (Schengen and currency being important aspects, to which I would add Erasmus programs and low-cost flights).

It is not there yet, and with the financial crisis from the last few years, the situation is more difficult at the moment; however, in my opinion if Europe wants to play a relevant geopolitical role vs the US, China, Russia, etc. it will be forced to step up its union efforts.
