When you have software that has been released for free, of course the attitude SHOULD be that you share the stuff that is available for free. The problem is when it costs MONEY to develop software. Yep, the big commercial software costs money to make and maintain it, so why should it be free to copy?

There's a big difference between "I have so much money, everything I make I can give away for free!", and "put money in to the development process, put money into sales/marketing, put money into SUPPORT, now, for all of that effort and money, product revenues will hopefully be enough to at least break even, if not, make a profit.

I work for a living, just so I can pay the bills, so if I make something in my spare time with the thought that it will make me money to sell it, it would be NICE to actually make money from it. The very wealthy already pay a lower percentage of their income than what I pay, so let THEM have things made that will be free for the public to use.

You give NVIDIA too much credit. NVIDIA is 75% hype, 25% product advantage. They would try to make another ARM based chip, but that would have to go head to head with Qualcomm in that space, and Exynos isn't bad, just isn't quite as good.

So, these banks, venture capital firms, and all of that, have put so much money into AI related companies, they sense that when the AI bubble pops, they will be losing a HUGE amount of money. Rather than seeing the problem and then diversifying it, they double down and then warn people that if "everyone" doesn't support AI, the economy may collapse.

The USA actually had an increase in the price of natural gas due to Russia invading Ukraine, which caused the embargo on Russian oil and natural gas, so a lot of the oil and natural gas produced in the USA is now going to Europe when previously it would have stayed in the USA. But, we have Moscow Mitch McConnell who WANTS coal to be used, because his third world state is a coal producer, and we have Trump who is against anything that might produce clean energy because his demented mind thinks that it's bad to not use oil and coal.

Trump should be in prison and being force to "eat" something he doesn't like for the rest of his life.

When rent on a one bedroom apartment will cost $30000/year plus utilities, then you need to own a car(since public transportation doesn't work for many jobs), then the cost of food, what do you think people will do, turn to crime to supplement their income from their job that doesn't pay a decent wage? It's amazing how clueless so many people are about how bad the economy is. Jobs have NOT gone up in pay as much as the cost of living has over the past 50 years, even for those with a good education. If you were getting $65,000 per year from your job, you'd have a VERY difficult time surviving these days on your own without family helping with your expenses as you struggle to also pay back a student loan.

The income to cost of living ratio has gotten way out of hand. Seriously, the cheapest rent on a one bedroom apartment is upwards of $2500 in many places, and that's without utilities. Do you think you could afford that if you were making even $30,000/year(with taxes taken out)? We aren't even talking about a NICE apartment either. The cost of electricity, oil or natural gas, a car so you can actually get to your job(not everyone lives right on a bus or rail route that has both ends near the job). So, what should the base pay be for people(since living in a shared home where you aren't related to the other people doesn't work for people with a decent job when you need to fight for the one bathroom in many of these places)? Oh, are you suggesting the minimum wage would be $65,000 for those with an education(and loans they need to pay off)?

People need to use credit cards as a bit of a "float" to get them through when they NEED something they don't have the saving for, like car repairs(so they can get to that job). Yes, some people spend on useless things, but for those responsible when it comes to money, they will STILL be living off their credit cards due to the high cost of living these days.

Remember, if you are beyond that point in your life, that doesn't mean that you need to be clueless what people are going through. How about the $16+ it costs for lunch(down to $11 if you buy stuff from a grocery store and bring it in), so just for lunch you end up adding $50+ per week. Want to talk about how tap water isn't SAFE in many places due to lead pipes and other toxic things, just to take that argument into account?

I am not going through this myself, but I see how difficult life is for people who are single and don't have that steady relationship that allows for two incomes to play for that single bedroom apartment rental.

It's possible that that is what was meant, but many people in the US Congress(House of Representatives), are CLUELESS, to the point where having very cold temperatures in the winter means that there is no actual global warming trend or threat.

If you look at the water temperatures, things would indicate that WHEN we get hurricanes, they will be worse, because the water temperatures have been increasing overall. So, good luck doesn't mean that when hurricanes hit they won't do as much damage. Without some of the factors that prevented hurricanes from hitting, things have been ripe for massive hurricanes. The idea of potentially adding a category 6 hurricane rating due to how powerful the storms have been over the past few years(even if the USA has been spared) doesn't mean things aren't going to be really bad next year.

Your lack of understanding shows why you are probably surprised every time something bad happens to you. So, here's some basic stuff that doesn't even go into a lot of depth...

First up, you have to understand that individual weather systems are due to various factors, from water temperatures, to how different weather patterns interact. Basic stuff like warm air rises, cold air sinks, but then, what happens when you have an entrenched cold weather system and a warm weather system that isn't as powerful moves OVER it...yep, you get SNOW, not rain, but snow, even though the precipitation up in the atmosphere may start as rain.

So, you have all of these systems moving, and interacting with each other, you have what is called the Polar Vortex and how strong or weak it is. You can still have overall warmer weather, but then EVENTS where you get several weeks or even months of unusually cold weather. How things interact with each other is what you don't understand. Over the past 20-30 years, people talk about cold patterns in the winter, downplay or say that global warming and climate change are a hoax, and then, you get hot summer weather that is the worst on record, and suddenly people forget about their claims during the winter.

Trend lines...not individual data points, but looking at the tends is used by people who have a clue, because you NEVER see long-term patterns if all you do is look at individual temperatures from day to day.

Have you been in even a category 2 hurricane, not to see the reporting, but actually to experience one?

Trump just needs to see a hurricane destroy Mar-a-lago and suddenly NOAA will get billions in funding.

When it comes to this sort of thing, they need to prove that there was harm of some sort, or people could start lawsuits over any change of opinion that people have. The only people with a true case against OpenAI would be those who DONATED to the organization due to it being non-profit, but no one else would have a case, because they were not harmed in any way due to the change from non-profit to profit.

So Elon, did you actually DONATE money to a non-profit and then are upset when they changed to being for-profit? Then, how much of a tax deduction did you get for that theoretical donation?

How to train them to lie would be simple, just emulate Donald Trump.

To put this in perspective, just to drive across the state of New York is over 400 miles, and by car, with traffic, that will take over 9.5 hours, potentially 12 hours. It is over 3000 miles to go from coast to coast across the USA, so people will fly to get there. We get volumes on some of our roads during rush hour of 5200 cars per hour. Now, to go to the "why", before the automobile, almost everything had to be either in walking distance, or by horse, so you would see more self contained population pockets with a lot of space between the towns/villages. Then, we had rail and the automobile, and suddenly, people didn't need to live close to their job, they could live in one town, and work in another. To get the best pay for work, a typical commute turned into something that would take an hour or more in each direction.

The USA also has not been subject to wars "here at home", so there hasn't been a chance to rebuild the infrastructure from scratch the way most of Europe did. You can build new highways and high speed rail when there has been a massive amount of destruction that has knocked down large areas of buildings, but can you see any good way to rework the travel network in the center of Manhattan(the heart of New York City)? How about even getting more real highways in Brooklyn, NY, where the transportation system has been neglected for the past 70 years? Look at Los Angeles, the transportation system there is also in need of a complete overhaul to handle the volume, but, how do you do that without knocking down dozens of large buildings to make way for a high speed rail system and better highways? The one positive thing about World War I and II in Europe was the ability to rebuild and rework many systems, and while I would never wish for violence/war, after it is over and rebuilding gets planned, things CAN be improved while you will always see, "how will we pay for fixing all of these broken things?" from the pseudo-conservatives who don't seem to understand the concept of investing in infrastructure.
