    I don't get this take. No matter how good you are at managing people, you cannot manage clowns into making wise decisions, especially if they are plotting in secret (which obviousl…

    Didn't OpenAI close new ChatGPT Plus signups just 2 days ago? Strange coincidence in timing... Maybe the board just learned that costs were wildly over what Sam told them? I guess …

    It makes perfect sense for people who are willing to accept that ChatGPT/GPT-4 is a revolutionary technology that will upend lots of jobs/people/companies, just as horse coaches / …

    Studying human athletic performance was also done by some eugenics movements, so by your logic we should stop all studies of human athletic performance?

    DropBox had a paid tier from the beginning, Stability AI doesn't.

    Right but by that definition every thing in the universe is and will always be basic. The word becomes meaningless.

    That sounds similar to companies in the 1960's refusing to use "soulless" computing machines aka computers. Not sure it worked out well for them...

    I think by "smartest people" the article is referring to the top 1-3 percent smartest people, not the actual 1-3 smartest people in the world...

    |Amazing, but very basic. After playing around with ChatGPT for a few hours I have a hard time seeing how someone could objectively call it "basic".

    Isn't rental income treated as income tax? It is in the U.S. Since tax is on the profit only, the tax would be on that 40%, so 32% of 40% so ~10%. You are still walking away with 6…

    right but I'm guessing a huge percentage is baby boomers or Gen X'ers who bought a house 10 or more years ago. I'm curious to see a graph of home ownership rate history for people …

    Source for this? All evidence show that their failure at least started with them owning a lot of "safe" bonds, whose value declined with increasing fed rates.

    Exactly. They are very bitter at the thought of depositors (people who entrusted the U.S. banking system) getting bailed out.

    That's just basic logic that anyone would follow to survive. VC's had nothing to do with SVB's bad money management.

    I have a feeling a lot of these people are Bitcoin maximalist. They want depositors to suffer so that they feel vindicated for their faith in Bitcoin.

    I don't understand this comment. 1) SVB was not managed by VC's. 2) SVB went under because they bought US Treasuries, not because they took risky bets on startups.

    and because of the takeoff/landing and time to get up to it's probably closer to 2*11h, so yea assuming 3 hour layover that turned into 25 hours

    The fact that SVB just went under disproved your point. Without a moat a company is relegated to ways of making money that at some point in time become unsustainable (i.e. when int…

    I don't understand, is it because they do not want to change its monetization to ads and IAP's? How is having this game in the App Store making them lose money?

    Might want to specify https://www.workatastartup.com/ - if OP hasn't heard of it, your comment might be interpreted as just "working at a startup" in the general sense.
