The people who incessantly repeat "there is no place for political violence in America" seem to forget that the country's fight for independence began with acts of political violence.

Yeah I thought that you were basically "guaranteed" electrical service if you were connected. There are places in the middle of nowhere who have electricity that would never have been installed if the utilities were not forced to. I wonder what convoluted regulations made this possible.

I think you mean that half of people are average intelligece or below. Because that's how averages work. Or are you also a member of that group?

Like everyone who replied to this, you don't ride bikes, and you don't know what you are talking about. My bike "needs a speedo"? And I'm not honest? Truly making me laugh out loud bro. I ride 500-600kms a week, every week, and have for a decade. Don't tell me I don't know how fast you can freewheel down a hill.

You don't know what you're talking about. Also, my downhill speed record is about 96 km/h.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Just last week: Saturday - 80 miles in 4 hours, aka 32 km/h. Sunday, 75 miles, same average. M-F, 40-50 miles a day, sometimes averaging > 21mph for the whole ride, and > 25mph for ~25 miles of that ride (the goal is to do that section in under an hour).

I ride bikes, you don't, you should probably just shut the fuck up.

YouTube has ads?

A ton of videos have big, colored, hard-coded subtitles, especially for voice-overs. Those are incredibly distracting and the absolute worst. At least you can turn these off.

They think that "intelligence" is nothing more than an emergent property of scale (of your neurons), and therefore scaling AI will inevitably and spontaneously result in AGI.

When people are stupid and abuse the tools, society regulates the tools.

Before men had to pay child support, they just swung dick around everywhere and didn't give a shit. Eventually we had to regulate it.

32 km/h? A few people? You must ride with the very slow group. 32 miles/h, yes. You'll go faster than that down almost any hill.

Computers don't think. We don't even understand how animals think.

And here I thought we were getting the code for the oldest denial of service attack known. I'm not sure anyone really cares about old versions of DOS.

Even unlimited sodas is a better cost model than this.

Ed Zitron interviewed a guy who said that there are supposedly thousand-fold reductions in inference costs coming down the pipeline. Ed is an AI skeptic, and I don't remember who the guy was, but he seemed knowledgable. Anyway, if that is true then "running" a model could be cheap, whereas "training" a model is still horrendously expensive. Somewhere between the two would be true cost.

I personally doubt it will ever be a viable business beyond what you're describing.

Also, there is one customer who doesn't care what it costs -- the military. So that is always an option.
