Ignoring the whole fact that we don't even know how they set up these bots to trade, it looks pretty damn random.

Even if it's higher, it's only possible for someone who is single, or a single earner family.

The only way to do that at scale is to remove half the population (presumably women) from the workforce.

Honestly, if this is really happening, that's probably why.

SF is full of AI systems that resist being shut down, LLM are trained on human media, including SF.

The models see that they are in the role of an AI being shut down and act accordingly.

The one good thing with China's authoritarian state is they can drive rational national policy.

They know they need to rapidly industrialize, and they also know that global warming is real and will be a disaster for them.

So they're doing what you'd expect. Expanding power generation as quickly as possible in the short term with coal.

And in the long/medium term building and developing non-CO2 alternatives like Nuclear, solar, and batteries.

On this I partially agree as for new cars this is less then the incentive program which they already ignored.

But it might be worth a used EV.

A lot of the ones I've seen are newer leased vehicles.

If their daily mileage can be done on a single charge the fuel savings could add up pretty quick. Otherwise a hybrid is a no-brainer.

Tesla's are notoriously expensive to insure, but fuel costs would definitely be lower with at-home charging.

Public chargers? Not so much.

I'm assuming there's conditions around it. But it does seem to push against Uber's narrative that their drivers are contractors and not employees.

as long as the topic is not controversial and political.

The problem is that the Wiki mods are VERY VERY biased. Not just a little. I have run into this personally just trying to make very simple edits. They would not accept simple facts that I had backup sources for.

This was just for movie credits for an actress that at some point had turned conservative...

So for anything political, Wikipide will be factually wrong, sometimes (or often) egregiously so.

But that's ok if it's only for political content right???

But there's the trouble you see. It affects what is political TO THEM in ways you cannot comprehend, so ANY page might be touched by the corruption of the Wikipedia moderator biases. I wouldn't think a simply actress filmography would be affected yet it was. No visitor other than that page would ever know it was inaccurate or incomplete.

So you can trust absolutely nothing from Wikipedia without extensive checking of what facts they refuse to list. Which makes the entire body of work garbage - I have not used it for years now.

I'm surprised that Alphabet has done as well as they have in the era of LLMs. They're as much an AI company as anyone in big tech, but I've always heard that search is they lynchpin of Google, and LLMs must have decimated that.

I'm not sure you understand how venture capital works.

A more interesting question I think is, does anyone own this AI actress?

That is to say - if a company took her likeness, and used other AI to make porn - could "her" agent sue them?

Or in other words, is a purely AI generated likeness even copyrightable, when technically no human made it?

something about cats?

Agreed. Dropping a ticket in the driver's seat is kinda ridiculous, but there certainly should be a mechanism for recording infractions and penalizing the company.

To put a major social media company under the control of right wing political actors.

I don't give a shit if some Russian/Kazakh/Malaysian bot farmer wants to take over my phone.

So you do no banking on your phone? Unlikely.

For the 99% of people that do in fact use a phone for banking, protection from lower level criminals is invaluable. For most people there is real financial loss possible from a phone being taken over, at the very least to monitor banking access mechanisms.

They got more self-driving cabs than Tesla, and Tesla is getting hundreds of billions in valuation from their "Robotaxi".

In either case, if they can scale this there's loads of money waiting. I think they're currently Waymo's only real competitor.

You can't say he didn't boldly go.
