Comment Re: Won't work (Score 1) 34

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.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Dylan Field, Evan Williams, Gabe Newell, Jay Koum, Larry Fucking Ellison, Zuck, Michael Dell, and Travis Kalanick are all dropouts to name just a few.

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.

I understamd how Americans fall for this nonsense, but Europe has a well developed railroad system and efficient short distance flights.

Why would the Europeans fall for this inefficient, ineffective, economically insane, dangerous, unproven, ridiculous scam?

Comment Re:Europe has itself to blame for this (Score 1) 240

EU has around 1 billion people, ruzzia jas maybe 100 million, EU has 10 times the population. The only issue is that if Ukraine falls, putin will use force to make sure his army now includes Ukrainians conquered in Ukraine, just like he did with the residents of Donbass region. He will then take on the rest of Europe and given what ruzzians and Ukrainians have learned in thia war, the Europeans will find themselves in a really tough place Will the Europeans even fight at all? Polish, Lytovian, Finnish, they will fight, what about the rest? Given the experience and the size of the militaries, Europe stands no chance. Its best deffense is to help Ukraine with everything, instead European countries are busy with their internal problems.

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.
