I don't think Google should be required to provide anonymized search data to rivals. Firstly, that's effectively their intellectual property.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure the others will do something transformative with the data.

I'd rather not.

Huh.

Anyways

IBM couldn't get a deal with Nvidia to use Nvidia $$$ to buy Nvidia systems and then 'Step 2. ???' so everyone profits?!

"Missed it by so close!"

They were all crooked and misaligned.

Oh, you must mean Pepe, my little mule.

I wonder what other nuc-u-lar powered devices we can chuck up there?

What a weird ... hey, wait, I think I figured it out!

You're looking at it from the point of view of the bank robber, aren't you? (Instead of from the point of view of all the people who didn't rob the bank but still somehow had their locations leaked to the government.)

Did I guess right?

Muh cabbageses!!!

Should go back to the Greek:

Ouranos [Oor-rah-noes]

You have 3 similar documented fixes for situation X.

Wisdom is knowing which fix to apply and why it should be used.

I suppose you can quantify each fix by frequency of use.

I think the buggy whips go under the marketing name 'ASP Electro-Baton [A,B,C]'.

I'm imagining devices going by a conveyor belt, and a worker with a wirecutter is making a brief snip on each of the devices as it travels by.

The boss walks up, and the snipper guy asks "Is it true? Is the customer canceling?"

The boss briefly nods but then shakes his head. "Yeah, they're canc--no, I mean they still want the devices. They just don't want the snipping anymore. They say go ahead and leave the warrant-detection-and-lookup circuit live."

"Good. I never really understood what I was doing here. They're still weren't required to check the sensor anyway, so why disable it?"

The boss explained, "so we could charge them for the snipping."

There's no way to interpret these costs, that nobody is ever going to be willing to pay, as a reminder that soon these companies are going to be bankrupt.

Every time I see an AI story like this, it makes me realize I really have no idea what the AI bubble hardware is actually like, and how it might be used after auction.

A few months from now you might find yourself at an auction where 4TB of faster-than-anything-you-have RAM might be for sale for $80, but of course it won't be in the usual DIMMs that any of your existing mobos can use, will it? What will it be, and how do we best exploit it?
