+1 to this, I’ve never heard of someone actually doing that. I was hopeful the Vision Pro would become that device but Apple seems to have decided they don’t care about the future.

Oh wow, thank you for sharing

Do elevators not solve this?

The scaling challenge here comes from scaling across the various types of life situations and personality types out there. Some people work too much to be able to live a balance lifestyle. Other people just can’t summon the motivation.

Either way, a pill would scale better across all these people.

I don’t agree with this take, we’re overly simplifying the nature of housing here. It depends on the housing mix as well. If the vast majority of the pro-housing prices crowd is heavily invested in single family residential then they should favour widespread upzoning and deregulation of apartments because that would increase the value of their SFHs through two mechanisms: 1) presumably single family homes will be destroyed so any remaining single family homes become more valuable and 2) every single family home is now a potential townhouse or high density building which increases the value a developer would pay for it.

Are there any serious objections to that line of reasoning?

How is it not? In the grand scheme of human history, energy usage constantly goes up. What other measure could you possibly use to measure progress?

I don't think they're actually the same thing, I definitely feel like Claude is much better with code than ChatGPT is so there are clearly differences in the capabilities of these models. One analogy that I find helpful here is the idea that these AIs are like animals. Just like there are animals of the same family (meaning they're genetically related to some degree) they still adapt to different niches. I see all these AI companies ultimately creating models analogous to that.

Some AIs will be good at coding (perhaps in a particular language or ecosystem), some at analyzing information and churning out a report for you, and some will be better at operating in physical spaces.

They have sufficient control over their model that they can presumably tailor it to their needs. Perhaps if you acquired analogous control, you’d have more success.

What do you think the top 10 worst companies are? How likely do you think it is that your list matches mine or anyone else’s?

Wait isn’t it the opposite? Manitoba was founded as a French Canadian province wasn’t it?

I'm not sure about that, there haven't been too many large European tech companies growing up in the aftermath of GDPR. While it's probably a small factor, I do think this general climate of regulation hurts smaller companies more than is generally acknowledged.
