Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon have all tried to create their own smartphone since Android has been around. Why do you think OpenAI would succeed? Even if they did make the new physic…

Per this sale, BD is worth $3.25B. Just recently, Google paid $2.7B for two years of Noam Shazeer through the Character.ai deal. This seems like a small correction if they wanted t…

> So I assume Waymo will be immediately banned from any residential areas until they can demonstrate the ability to follow the laws of the road? Why do you apply a different standa…

Sure but I don't mind the current outcome. I want my laptop to be small and light and if the tradeoff is the ram and battery have to be glued, I'd take it.

> Pebble proves that a simple, shallow, and linear menu system works great! Hard to say this is true when Garmin watches are far more successful than Pebble. That aside, the foreru…

How does your chart show it increasing with crypto? Bitcoin came out in 2009 and ethereum in 2015, and adoption was far before 2020.

This seems like a leap that consumers buy them > "because they want a walled garden" I doubt most consumers would care if you could sideload apps on their iOS device or play PlaySt…

You're just arguing against delivery food generally, not against Uber. Of course delivery has a cost, was even typical for pizza delivery before the apps. If you're that price cons…

> they only collapse when nearly everyone is finally convinced they never will I get that rationale in some bubbles as that means people are not parking their money as cash where t…

This is fair but it's also assuming that today's AI has reached its potential which frankly I don't think any of us know. There's a lot of investment being spent in compute and res…

> It's always baffled me how the same candidates that claim to be pro labor and pro environment are also pro globalization. The way it plays out is that the jobs are just offshore …

That's a little reductive. I grew up in San Diego and went to school in LA and had the same experience with taxis - never took them. But now I use ubers in those cities whenever I'…

It's not the only example, Chegg's another one.

Well I can disagree with you and can tell you that more money would solve my money problems, particularly with my housing and being able to buy / rent a bigger place.

You're making big assumptions here regarding students desires to attend stanford. Ignoring everything else though, having two elite universities that cater to merit is better than …

> But social mobility for serious kids is much easier in the United States than elsewhere. This is an unrelated point, is your contention that the US is better off with unserious s…

Can't wait for Advanced Gemini Advance.

It's not a big deal but the cars allowed on Uber has worsened. I remember trying to sign up as a driver a few years ago with a 2009 Corolla and being denied because the car was too…

Not wise in what way? You say that likely as an American without caring at all about the people in Iran. The US is the only nation is have used a nuclear weapon and frankly is far …

What about an internal tool that helps improves processes but doesn't ever sell or google.com and gmail which are free to users?

> This is unlike how capital assets are valued for any other industry! Is your dismay that it's unfair compared to other industries or that the policy doesn't reflect reality that …

Sure, but now when the backup is restored two weeks later, is the user redeleted or just forgotten about?

How do you manage deleting data from backups? Do you know not take backups?

So are you proposing that Google shouldn't allow other companies to install Android? What would Samsung, Motorola switch to and do app developers have to create apps targeting all …

Didn't google just buy deepmind and rebrand it too?
