no. chopping up bits and bobs and letting a statistical model hodgepodge together something isn't from scratch. I've baby sat this AI shit before, it is nothing like making something from scratch. It's not from scratch and it is debatable if it is even making.

Not actual intelligence by any meaningful measure. So the S in SI must only stand for sub-intelligence.

Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Attorney General: So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.
Joe: Yes.
Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet?
Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave.
Attorney General: It's got electrolytes.

If you have your retirement in any of: Fidelity, JPMorgan Chase, Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs or BlackRock. Then you probably have had a financial advisor try to push this crypto stuff on you. And even if you say no, they have other instruments that bundle an index that includes crypto.

Maybe there was a time when most of the crypto crime was just committed against people who were all-in on the nonsense. Unfortunately that time is about 10 years behind us. Now we have to watch out that our working class parents and uncles don't get suckered into what is clearly a scam industry.

I don't condone violence. Just stop giving them money and they can shrivel up and die on their own.

Tax them the same amount that 3 full time office workers would pay on their taxes.

In a normal country, they would have gone after people for trespass.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.

Most people want to own at least SOMETHING, like their own home computer.

P. S. Fuck off, Sam.

Google sucks a lot of the oxygen out of the room when it comes to people inventing the Next Big Thing. The projects that someone might have spent 5 years of their life trying to make into a startup, are now 20% projects at Google that sometimes see the light of day only to be walked back suddenly.

Nothing can be made at Google that will do better then their ad search business. It's a reality that I faced when I was there, and the vast majority of management were delusional to think otherwise. Search pays for these little projects, and they rarely ever stand on their own (Fuchsia) and simply consume payroll to get no where near turning a profit.

This one is fucked, we should throw it away and start over. A free network that isn't based around trying to harvest market research data and constantly trying to sell things.

Are we seeing wild growth in our user base due to the new policies?

The sort of people who could turn Google into a profitable innovation powerhouse no longer work at Google. Google lives and dies on how tightly they can hold onto their existing advertising empire. That's all they've got now and it is all they will ever be.

Not the worst billionaire fashion choice.

There will be winners and losers. And I don't think any of today's companies are necessarily going to be the AI leader 10 years from now.

Who will lose the most are the middle class with retirement investments that are mismanaged and put into these unstable toxic investments. And potentially bail outs for financial and chip companies when the market corrects disastrously.

Everything as a service has been the dream for the billionaire class for a long time. Creating a dependency for end-users (often called "consumers") is viewed as the path to stability and profit for a company. Having folks pay every month for health insurance, medication, vitamins, smartphone service, cable TV, internet access, streaming services, etc.
