    First, don't park it in actual cash or you'll lose value to inflation which is currently running high. At a minimum put it in treasuries. Second, trying to time the market is almos…

    This isn't true unless you're limiting your reference point to Trump's second term.

    Is kimi making a profit? How subsidized is it by the Chinese government?

    Let's compare concrete and equivalent people or institutions. I'll nominate Elon to represent "right wing philosophy" since this is a conversation about grok. What's an equivalent,…

    It's more like evolution through natural selection. If you can buy a treasury that returns 3.6%, you will NOT invest money in a business that has more risk, is only returning 3%, a…

    That's a 3% margin which is unsustainable. It's less return than you can get from buying treasuries, which means that if they don't improve it they will go out of business.

    We may need to create a community driven version of SO. Hard for it to be a successful business these days.

    Except for the part where he says that he found Go infuriating to use as a developer prior to LLMs.

    The far left tends to treat humans as essentially good and plastic — corrupted by unjust systems, but redeemable once those systems are dismantled. Remove capitalism, hierarchy, sc…

    pretty sure humans had hierarchy from the beginning.

    I think it's people that do that, not capitalism. This happens in every system that has existed in human history.

    You didn't really address his main point. Will this lead to higher levels of pollution that will have real health consequences? Oddly you suggest it's not valid to raise concerns a…

    I honestly can't tell what conclusion you want us to draw? The vast majority of cows raise for agriculture are not raised in the ways you describe. Beef is the leading cause of def…

    What model did you use? Curious if something like Opus 4.6 does a better job.
