Hey, no fair stealing the value thay we already stole fair and square!

That was always the revenue stream, the devices were just a way to get you to give it to them. It's been a minute since I was current on who gets what in the HMD world but I think …

It does. This isn't new laws, it's an application of existing law on this practice.

That depends, cab signaling for example needs radio to work

Big management consulting firms real value prop is two-fold 1) (value to it's employees) networking for the corporate leadership class when young and 2) (value to outside companies…

Between companies we have competition and capitalism. Within companies we have command economies at best and absolute monarchies at worst

Security theather is easy and gets lots of eyeballs. Actual security is hard and no one cares. Which one do you think soon-to-ipo companies are going to pick?

Makes sense since we're speedrunning the other parts of the Butlerian jihad

Start advocating for a wealth tax

Data is the only moat but they'll be starting in the same place the current set of players statyed out just a few years ago. I suspect that the delta between what is publicly avail…

I agree with you that they are headed in that direction! The GPU shortage is (I think) similar to the pandemic era hiring binge. It's less about the extra compute and more about de…

Addendum because I don't think I'm fully clear above: by failure state I mean when the process starts throwing errors. AIs respond to adversity by trying to go around the problem i…

It's the same behavior as when an AI uses docker to get root. Reasoning models are echo chambers. I suspect that AI prompting is going to turn into something akin to contract draft…

Companies won't but I suspect this is a role that something else open source-y will fill that niche. Maybe orgs like wikimedia or internet archive, maybe some hackers just making t…

This. OpenAI and Anthropic are ultimately compute infrastructure plays and not really AI. Everyone will have models, they'll have the ability to run them. This is why the GPU short…

The bloom is off the AI rose and the consulting class doesn't have a good replacement magic bean yet. Expect more fumbling like this until they arrive at the next narrative.

Now? Google has hated us since at least the DoubleClick aquistion in 2008. That's when people became the product

This is an indirect way to get at what we really need: a wealth tax. Don't treat the symptom, treat the disease.

If they can charge me for it then they can calculate it and show it to me. Anything else is obfuscation.
