I think Woz didn't make any advances at a fundamental level.

Google's idea at the time was to use their pull to improve content on the internet, and they started issuing SEO guidelines. They regularly update the guidelines to match whatever they think will be better for the internet, and the SEO consultants follow it like a flock.

It's not entirely wrong, if you have two articles, the longer one is more likely to have more information. As a metric it's easily gamed, and they need to stay on top of that somehow but didn't.

None of those people made advancements at the fundamental level. They all paid someone (or stole from someone) who had a college degree to do the advancements.

Websites were already getting ridiculously verbose (like recipe websites having a long story before the actual recipe) because Google favored pages like that. If you wanted your page to show up in the search results, it had to be nonsensically verbose.

Interesting, how was the corruption of the '12 Olympics involved in the Crimea invasion?

That's an optimistic prediction about the capabilities of AI.

It does all the work.

>The ruling elite has decided they do not want you to be educated

No, the ridiculous price of tuition is actually the result of the government encouraging people to go to college. They will pay whatever 'need' is, and 'need' is whatever the price of college is... so colleges keep raising the price, year after year, much higher than inflation.

It's not going to the professors, either. At my local state college, only 13% of the budget goes to professors (including benefits).

At community colleges here in California, 50% goes to direct instruction. Why? Because state law mandates the 50 percent rule. So community colleges are reasonably priced and often do a better job actually teaching with smaller classes than state colleges, but I guess we have a good 9-3 football team at state, so...

Yeah that's true, I agree.

How can you be so certain? Strong AI algorithm could be invented/discovered any time.

If they end up somehow building strong AI, then the investment will pay off in huge multiples and will absolutely be worth it.

If they don't manage to create strong AI, but manage to create a better search engine that somehow replaces Google, then it will be worth the investment (for comparison, Google profit is on the order of $100 billion per year).

There are a lot of other potential products that could bring heavy revenue, even without strong AI. AirBnB has $2billion a year in net profit, which isn't great but it's conceivable that even with the current crappy AI product, OpenAI could make a reasonable amount of revenue. With billions of potential customers, they don't need to make a lot of money off each person.

Remind me again, which refugee crisis did Europe clean up?

Hint: if someone blames everything bad on Netenyahu, they are ignorant.

Netenyahu's approach lost the support of the Israeli voters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Netenyahu's successor was willing to make a ton of concessions for peace: https://www.youtube.com/shorts...

German Euro bonds are cheaper than US bonds, so you better rethink your economic theory (and stop watching youtube).
