and that's ok. I don't mind a little extra info every once in a while...
However this story continues to make the rounds. Which I don't really understand.
Are we just interested in laughing at CA ?
Are people really that confused about the fact that CA has high housing costs (and a big middle finger to the NIMBY liberals keeping it that way) and is REALLY CROWDED.
Isn't this the free market at work ? Some place becomes crowded and too expensive so less people move there. Really seems a bit suspicious that this story is all over the news and has finally reached slashdot (sorry editors you didn't get the scoop).
You know what the real story is in CA ? Silicon valley is trying really , really hard to be completely inconsequential to technological development.
Google figuring out new ways to sell ads is not really technological development.
LLMs are new and shiny, but could have been done anywhere. Microsoft with it's investment in OpenAI and what will soon be the borgification of OpenAI will probably move the leadership center to Seattle. But really the research is decentralized so there may not be a "center".
Apple ? we keep making the same thing ! only more expensive !
It will be interesting to see what happens to CA economically over the next decade. Sadly I don't think it's going to do well. And that's too bad. I want ALL of the states to do well.
