You missed the part above where they just took control of the data center and started running their own models.

Your post looks like how to get into trouble when stepping off of pavement, I think the humor is too subtle. :-)

I feel like it is more complete ignorance of the outdoors, high tech being a secondary thing. Analog gear has some advantages but its not idiot proof. One can hold a mechanical compass near something magnetic. There are some phone apps with downloadable topo maps and that are more oriented to wilderness use than the built-in map app.

The thing that freaks me out the most is 1/2 L of water. To me that speaks the loudest with respect to being utterly unprepared for a wilderness setting. I’m afraid to discover what they had in the event of a change in the weather.

You missed the part above where instead of a bail out they get turned over to the government.

I suspect a very strong fear of missing out with a weak risk / reward sensibility.

Their AI will be doing the crypto trading for them. Its kind of a match made in ...

When the data centers get turned over to the gov’t (to the Pentagon) they are still operating, just likely running different models for gov’t work. They need electricity too.

Unions don’t stop automation and/or AI replacement. Ask the welders in the auto industry. Ask the grocery store checkout folks. Unions didn't prevent massive automation in the auto industry. Unions didn’t prevent massive self-serve checkout at the grocery store, the hardware store, etc. Unions didn’t stop a competitor from putting a factory in a right to work state where the competitor will gain a pricing advantage.

Nah. They will have to turn over those big data centers to the gov. Too few jobs involved, unlike in the auto bailout, for any bipartisan support. The Pentagon will be thrilled.

When did it not look risky? When did it not look like the ai bros were telling the dot com bros to hold their beer?

When do they get access to the fund? Because for many game studios the hardship is when actively employed in the game industry. When leaving the game industry that is when the hardship ends. I’m going with the all-too-common practice of taking advantage of young recent grads that think working in the game industry would be the coolest thing to do. Well, it is at a very very small number of studios, its not the typical experience.

"Beleaguered Apple" days are approaching it seems, Apple profit margins might drop from 27% to 20% ranges.

Meanwhile Dell has about 6% margins, HP 4%, etc.

Apple investors had a sell off, of course they did, they were capturing huge profits they already made. And they probably kept more than they sold off.

We are saying different things. My point is that the AI does not necessarily know the source of the code it regurgitates nor its copyright status. At least when using its training data rather than searching the web. So the human prompter is taking a risk using that code.

If you are lucky they actually served you “antarctic toothfish”, if unlucky a high-mercury content “asian catfish”.

There is a good book named “The Adolescence of P-1”. Its inspired lots of writers.
