They need him to continue evangelizing how to get a single individual to burn $87k/month so the corporations who have to actually pay usage pricing will actually make them bank :)

I don’t know that I’d call it that much of an outlier position. Compatibilists, functionalists, and plenty of physicalists in general would deny that qualia exist or that they’re a…

If you buy the argument “If A can do X but B can’t, then B is less intelligent than A”, then you have just as strong of an argument that LLMs are more intelligent than cockroaches.…

If I ask my kid (early elementary) what he learned last school year, I can watch him apparently genuinely trying to think of some examples and not being very successful. If I ask h…

> Transformer ANNs are dramatically dumber than cockroaches Source?

In terms of whether they’re overvalued: probably. But any valuation should also take into account the value they have to x.ai (also under SpaceX) as a source of training data for c…

This piece made me kind of fall in love with mechanical watches. The Orient Bambino I’m currently rocking on my wrist probably wouldn’t be there without it!

You are describing where I want to be when my kid graduates (years from now), mandolin and all! Low cost of living, contributing to the community, enough time for passions… Not abl…

Divide both by 12 then and you have monthly revenues. The ratio between them remains the same and remains rather astonishing.

Chess is a game where we play and observe for the sheer joy of mastery. Mathematics has some of that “done for its own sake” aspect but not as cleanly. There’s always the chance th…

I’m not saying they should stop building things (I doubt any argument in that direction would land anyway). But more that they should follow through on the whole picture of the fut…

Anthropic employees: I believe many of you actually do think your work is for the betterment of humanity. That’s great! If you truly do believe that, it’s time to start demanding y…

Sadly this won’t happen for the same reasons that the median salary hasn’t increased with increases in productivity over the past few decades. You are compensated (or given time of…

You should not be asking Elon if you can work 4 days a week; he believes you should already be working 7.

I’m guessing you wouldn’t really rather be managed by a bot..,

I’ve also heard on the engineering side performance is judged by heavily favoring launching products over keeping existing ones healthy and growing. You get what you incentivize…

Love to see it. Unlike tangled.org this is local-first and has a solid story around private repos. I’m bullish on distributed forges in general, but I’m all for experimentation in …

Weird article. “Our annualized revenue as of March 2026 is $19b” is not “telling the public we’ve made $19b.” And the discrepancy the author points at is actually more like revenue…

What peers are speaking Mojo? I’m not aware of any place it’s penetrated enough to be a “lingua Franca”
