They don't need dogmatic trust, just oligopolies and monopolies.

It's really about neither. It's about whether your code earns someone money.

The public lands is a bit harder, but this? This you absolutely can undo. Tell the license holders to sell off stations or they won't get renewals. Failing that, have the DoJ do it…

> Meta investors’ patience Let's not get ahead of ourselves here: this is Meta. Mark Zuckerberg holds majority control of the company, and so far, he does what he wants with it. Th…

Honestly not getting the bet from Meta here. A few weeks ago, they signed the letter about not regulating open models. Now they're dropping this. Are they going open and hosting th…

That's just it, though; for people like the ones in SV, it doesn't run out. There's always a golden parachute, always a politician willing to give a bailout, always enough money to…

> At the University of Arizona, researchers ran the experiment for years at a desert site called Biosphere 2. It'd be interesting to see results in places that are less arid. What …

No, I'm telling you that a lot of guns, particularly pistols, sold here are made in either Germany or Austria. Well, more Austria.

That, or just SV madness. If you're in northern California anywhere near the Bay Area, work in tech, and are reading this, I am literally begging you to leave your echo chamber. Th…

That's more of a German/Austrian thing, really.

Because at that point, the last guy to run a company that displayed gross negligence to CSAM distribution is sitting in prison. That serves as an example, a deterrent. "Clean up th…

This is what happens when you let a company be controlled by one person who has no reason to be accountable to anyone. If Zuckerberg wants total voting control, then he can also de…

Imagine doing business with a going concern related to Larry Ellison, and doing so unironically .

I'd really like to see more conversation around Mistral's models. It's good to see Europe developing AI.

I'd say there's a bit of a difference, and I live in a city that's been dealing with that as a problem over the last couple of years. If you have a pro sports team in your region, …

> Why aren't the data centers footing the bill? Because they can make the rest of us pay for it and historically there's been little pushback against that. That's changing, but tha…

How can I do this with, say, Gemma?

In the case of the Chiefs, Jackson Co., MO voters voted not to fund a new stadium. The reasoning was pretty simple: the Hunt family is worth $25 billion [0]. They could likely pay …

One possibility is that they're counting on another bailout package like the banks and others got in 2008. The bets are absolutely huge and have been spread throughout the financia…

> It's really understated just how much this is behind absolutely everything today. The only reason it became normal for SV software companies to pay 100k+ salaries to interns in t…

Yep. See the Kansas City Chiefs. Clark Hunt is the largest recipient of welfare in the entire region.

Well, that's true, but it's not as on-the-nose as, say, Francisco Franco did it.

They have a moat; they don't have $1 trillion valuations. Which anyone who hasn't been sitting in the SV echo chamber could have told you years ago after applying even the smallest…
