Come on, I do not support this shift, but you can't tell me you really believe in your analogy. Getting a game from torrents is not crafting your own copy. Programming it from scratch and reproducing graphical assets from scratch is tye correct analogy and you're not doing that, be honest. You can steal non-phyisical stuff. That company really spent money and paid people to work on a product. You're expecting to get it for free because what, they owe GTA6 to the world? Shouldn't they get the.money they spent plus profit? Again, Indo not endorse digital-only products where ownership is vague and fragile.

I see a lot of the comments miss the point. The data LLM's were trained on has been exhausted. Everything hukans said or wrote has been "indexed". LLMs can already replace some parts of some jobs but humans stil do things outside of coding and replying to emails with only 5% added value to the existing email thread. In order to replace more humans in more jobs you need AI to learn what people are doing when they do less measurable work: taking decisions, reasoning from disparate sources of information, connecting the dots from one excel file to a ppt through a teams chat, knowing who to reach out to to get an action item crossed, knowing what to tell them, etc. Humans are doing what LLMs do a lot but outside of the screen they do it on. Tracking EVERYTHING workers do gives you a model able to pick up those patterns and replace more than coders. There are other companies talking about doing this as welk. The EU is tapking about regulating what they call digital twins of workers. LLMs where about what people KNOW. The next models wi be aboit what people DO.

I installed OpenClaw a week or so ago. I wanted to like it. I wanted to be part of the hype. I use LLM's daily for work and personal and I'm a fairly technical guy, I can work my way around a terminal. Once I got it running I couldn't find anything useful to give it. The only "interesting" things I made it do were still OpenClaw related. I do bot sell courses or have an online business. I do not have tik-toks to automate, I do not use my personal email or calendar so that waking up to a summary of those produced by OpenClaw is a need or a feature. Basically I have nothing in my personal life worth automating to that extent (I cannot use it for work). You wrte such a lengthy message and I get why you are excited. It's the idea of it. But you couldn't guve an example of useful work, again, aside some potential email summary. You seem to have just spent time IN OpenClaw. Lots of people report the same: OpenClaw becomes the project. But no real utility. YouTube is full of AI grifters listing 20 mind blowing OpenClaw use-cases. It's all bullshit unless you're life really revolves around 200 mails per day and writing bullshit content for small to medium businesses. So when you talk about OpenClaw or when someone talks to you about OpenClaw ask them or yourself: what does it actually do for you? You will hear nothing useful that lives up to the hype. How could it? Or maybe my life of an employed man with 3 teenage age kids is too boring to allow for automation.

If these traits are evolutionary, why are spores so resilient? Maybe it already evolved to jump from planet to planet before it came here.

By design, right?

You're probably not the target audience or don't do anything web related.

Figma has become pretty much one of the most common go-to tools (if not an industry standard) when it comes to designing UI/UX (apps, web sites etc), collaboration and iteration on those designs and also taking the first steps to implement them as functional components.

If this new suite does what they say they do I would say it is a big deal.

Also, since you mentioned blogs, Wordpress is not just a blogging tool and it hasn't been one for years. It is used in a large proportion of small business websites, including small to medium e-commerce applications.

I watched quite a bit of Zeihan over the past couple of years, he does get his point across very efficiently. I'm not speaking at all about whether he is right or not, but I'm not sure I see the name calling just by saying that someone is a loud aggressively patriotic demagogue especially when the only thing the person you are talking about is doing is ... speaking. Zeihan produces ideas and conclusions, he doesn't act. So I see no problem in the possibility of him being all those things.
Demagogue is not an insult, it's a term denoting positions which resort to hypocrisy, rhetoric, emotions, maybe even populism, instead of reason and facts.
So where is the name calling? You might disagree with this characterization but there might be truth in some of that.
I find him "loud" too, a bit too full of himself, looking at everything through the lens of American exceptionalism. So yes, I tend to take what he says, even if interesting with a lot of grains of salt.

They're not saying they're not doing it (anymore).

If the topic is power in media and politics, then it's not about money and poverty. It's a valid discussion, but not the one we usually have about money (distribute more, give it to the poor, pay student loans etc).

And regarding your last statement, about reasons and amounts people start businesses from, I can't speak to that because I would generalize too much. Maybe SOME need to aim for 1 billion (is that unhealthy, from a business drive point of view? Do we all have to have the same reasons? I would argue no.), some for 2, some for 10, some for 100. The amount is not important, and it's, again, a place where personal biases show up.
The discussion should be if accumulating wealth is a reasonable drive to start and maintain a business and do the social advantages of that business overcome the disadvantages, do money really trickle down or not, do they really create jobs or not etc.

And also, does just giving people money fix their problems? Could it be possible that it's not only money some of them lack? It could be education, it could be a strong family, it could be self-confidence, could be certain abilities or traits. Could be a lot of things, because poverty and wealth are complex societal issues that can't be solved as simple math (distribution/division).

All of this is not a numbers problem.

But he's not taking into account inflation, which is an obvious side-effect, he is saying something else: why do you care how many billionaires are there and how many billions they added in their bank accounts this year if more people moved from absolute poverty towards the middle class (yes, they are not there yet, I know it's a continuum and not a discrete class system in reality)?

What TFA doesn't explain or offer is what happened historically between that bottom half and the 10 top percent thy mention. That leaves a not-so-unhealthy 40% of people that are not poor and are not billionaires. I really don't care how much of the global wealth they own (or I should say "I own", because I probably am in those 40%) as long as that 40% slice keeps getting bigger at the expense of either of the other 2 slices (the 50% that own 2% of global wealth and the 10% that own 70% of global weatlh).

br Also, notice how you can play around with these slices based on whatever arbitrary percent of global wealth you want them to cover? How do you make sure your political biases don't come into play when you define them?

People who bring up overnight charging are grossly underestimating the ratio of cars that are parked in the street, shared parking lots or underground parking. How do you charge all of those cars overnight? The grid is idle overnight, but that is TODAY, if everyone charges cars overnight it will be far from idle. In lots of places on the planet the infrastructure built tens of years ago does not support tens or hundreds of cars charging at once on a street.

Isn't this like saying that all it takes for VAG to sell the most electric cars is to get their shit together and Tesla goes poof? The problem with this scenario is that Tesla wouldn't have been here (hype included) if VAG, GM and other others would have been able to get their shit together. They're not, for now (see iD3).

Intel tried low power for mobile stuff, Apple was not impressed.
More than a decade passed and they seem less and less impressed by intel.

"that reacts to the same stimuli as human skin, such as pressure, touch,flogging, beating and temperature" There, since this is from Saudi Arabia, I fixed that.

Have you seen the CPU simulations in Minecraft?

When TJ Holowaychuk announced he is leaving Node behind he said:

And now they're forking Node over this ?
So I'm guessing streams will still be broken and callback will still be not great to work with.
