I'm with you on Zitron being a bit challenged in the knowing what he's talking about department. I think he's implying the money in AI is all spending from OpenAI+Anthropic who get…

I'd say there's more. AI has been a staple of sci-fi and movies, a major field of academic research since Turing in the 1950s, predicted to be a big deal by major thinkers like Joh…

tl;dr most of it but at the end: >To outsource even the smallest bit of composition to AI is to participate in one’s own dehumanization. There is no gain in efficiency that is wort…

It's surprising to me. Spray paint mostly wipes off with cellulose thinners and a cloth.

AI isn't Web3.

Most tech revolutions end up making a fair bit of money for successful businesses.

There's a kind of inconsistency in that he ends the video talking about overpriced stocks and how it's hard to short them but the title is about the $1.75tn in debt which seems to …

True. He mentions AI vids and rap here https://youtu.be/Ak4on5uTaTg?t=161

People may pay less than they are willing to pay as competition drives the price down. I paid $20/mo a while which I was happy with but I found I could get similar for free so pay …

No. There's a blink at 11:04.

It's about intention. I don't want someone threatening or evil going through my info but don't mind stuff being public in general, like this comment for example.

One anecdote. I had a friend who went from healthy to almost unable to walk through a post viral 'chronic fatigue' type thing. She couldn't really work but chronic fatigue wasn't a…

Good thing DOGE cut the screwworm program. Don't want to waste money. https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/22636-bird-flu-screwworm...

Both countries ahead of the US in GDP per capita PPP and life expectancy. Maybe it's a smart move? Imagine how rich the US would be if it'd spent all the war money on health care a…

I think there's a lot to be said for Switzerland's policy of strong defense and not attacking other countries. It's kind of stable and anti-fragile. It's easy to think you should b…

Yeah he wrote a lot about that.

In pre scientific times people mostly thought it was driven by spirits. God told things to exist, the devil made bad things happen, the rain god made rain and so on. It was a bit o…

It's that it's surprising physical behavior fits with mathematical equations so well. My guess is it's because the universe is maths in some sense.

I use Chrome. uBlock Origin Lite works fine, basically as well as the old uBlock as far as I can tell. As to why, I kind of like it - the built in Google Lens tool is cool and I do…

>During flight it can maneuver at different altitudes and trajectories and can pull up to 20 to 30 G to evade anti-ballistic missiles. https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/9K72…

It depends a bit how you calculate your numbers. Ukraine vs Russia, Russia wins. Democratic world that doesn't want dictators invading it vs Russia, democracy wins.

I'm not totally convinced it's all over for Fedorov. Zelensky may not be keen but the people, parliament and funders have a say too.

You don't have to go to MAD, just retaliate on a similar level. Ukraine should have ballistics that can hit Moscow soon. There's also hitting the launchers and missile factories th…

Software upgrades too - just make them fly a somewhat random path.
