Nobody's pursuing such initiatives. Doing so would be even more expensive than net zero emissions policies.

Elon doesn't actually have that much in cash. Most of his net worth is tied up in assets that would probably lose considerable value if someone killed him and confiscated his property.

For now it's a thousand here and a thousand there. Also the cited $500 million is a research grant not intended to help anyone actually losing their jobs. But $500 million would go a long way to help some laid off employees start their own businesses. Just not all of them. If the program were successful on a small scale, it would need more funding in the future.

Yeah focusing on small business startups would probably be the smart play, especially if it involves hiring a lot of other displaced workers.

Okay but people are already losing their jobs now. Also humanoid robot production is scaling up considerably while cost/unit is plummeting. It isn't just tech bros that will feel the pinch.

If workers are actually being displaced by AI, then $500 million would be a nice start towards a fund intended to help displaced workers taking lower-paying jobs and/or starting businesses of their own (where they could potentially hire other displaced workers to do something else).

At the same time, I'm sure some wage slave making $15/hr or less will be thrilled to see a laid-off tech bro working next to him getting incentive pay just to take the job. So maybe the emphasis needs to be on small business startups rather than placing people in existing industries.

In any case, handing money over to a bunch of pundits, politicians, and focus groups to study the problem is likely the second-least method for dealing with the problem of AI disruption.

Will gta vi even let you play it offline? What kind of drm will it have?

Yay they just beat a two year old supercomputer using tech from 2022.

I guess? They just beat a 2024 system using AMD CPUs launched in 2022.

You kid, but algae is a real problem for watercooled systems. That is the last place where people should be sourcing water for a watercooling rig.

At least he doesn't have to watch what's left of his company go down in flames.

Never heard of it. Was it one of these?

Doesn't the risk of damaging the cell and causing a fire go up as you make the battery thinner?

abusers, stupid autocorrect

At least abusive cops are outing themselves. These abused are an embarrassment for any police department forced to arrest one of their own.
