Let's wait for some precedent or at least a strong hint of inclination before we assume that future Dem presidents will also take the wannabe-dictator path from now on. While all future US presidents will have the opportunity to be mini-dictators until some much-needed guardrails are added, so far only one party (and in fact only one man) has taken it.

Comment Re:Now adjust the price (Score 2) 23

True, still not at the peak, but speaking of adjusting for inflation...

Cisco from 1998 to 2001 had a crazy anomalous valuation that was the biggest of the big examples of the dot-com bubble run amok. That behemoth of a company had an inflation-adjusted market cap of about a trillion dollars. Microsoft was in same ballpark, with Oracle and Intel a bit less, but still big examples of the dotcom bubble.

This time around, Google is 3.8 trillion, Meta is $1.6 trillion, Microsoft is $3.6 trillion, Amazon is $2.5 trillion, nVidia is $4.4 trililon, Apple is $4.1 Trillion....

This bubble is just massively bigger than the dotcom bubble, with just one of the big players this time being valued even adjusting for inflation more than all the big players of the dotcom era put together, and there being a fair number more of them this time. It dwarfs the 2007 bubble in these top few players alone. When this pops, it's going to be mind numbingly severe fall..

I don't understand how AI hallucinates for most people. I haven't had that problem once I learned/figured out how to ask it stuff properly like maybe 2 years ago or something. You're asking it to do too much shit, not validate itself, and not being specific or algorithmic enough. Watch some YouTube videos on AI prompting or something.

Yeah, this is one area where LLM can certainly make one side more successful. A screw up means either the attack fails, which no worse than not trying or messing up the target system, which may not be the ideal outcome, but it's not like the attacker really cared that much about the target system...

Comment Re:This is disgusting gatekeeping (Score 1) 31

You think the companies are deliberately keeping their models from being professional grade because of some sense of social responsibility?

That is hilarious. They are pushing as hard as they can and hyping it up even more than it is capable of performing. Any shortcomings on their part is not by lack of trying or somehow holding back.

Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
