This whole speech of his seems like

"AI isnt profitable, so we'll need you to raise electricity prices on voters so you can give us free power".

Maybe, radical suggestion I know, but maybe they can just fuck off....

The faster the bubble bursts so all these shitbirds lose all their money the happier I will be.

As far as I know, there has never been any proof that dark energy actually exists, only theories only conjectures.

Dark Energy , and Dark Matter, aren't really theories in the sense we usually use in science. They are placeholders to describe missing variables in the math used to describe gravitational behavior as it deviates from the otherwise highly reliable Einsteinian and Newtonian accounts for it.

Dark Matter, because the maths and observations seem to show a *lot* more mass in galaxies than we can account for.

And Dark Energy, because something appears to be accelerating expansion, and basic physics tells us that if something is accelerating, theres a force being applied *somehow*.

But we dont know what that missing mass in galaxies, or the missing energy in expansion, is, so its "Dark". Its not a conjecture, or a theory, its literally scientists saying "We dont know whats going on here".

And you cant disprove that, because your trying to disprove that scientists dont know whats happening. But most assuredly they dont know whats happening, and THAT is what Dark Energy literally is. The giant question mark surrounding a fudge factor in the maths.

Ultimately responsibility will be some distribution between Perplexity itself and the 'owner' of the robot.

Think about those lunatics who keep running people over with Tesla autopilot. Who is responsble? Well its not the car, its just an object, not a subject. The driver has some responsibility because he authorized the car to do its autopiliot, and Tesla has some responsibility, because its autopilot is shit.

In this case the customer authorizes perplexity to do this, and perplexity is the one doing it, via a robot. If its a shit purchase, well some of that will be on perplexity, but some of it is also on the customer for being so stupid as to let a robot shop for it. How a court would divide up that responsibility is likely a matter for lawyers and juries.

The actual big cost in power for most places (Not just australia) ends up being infrastructure anyway.

Every now and then the local conservatives here have a sook about how green energy is making everyones bills go up. But when you actually look at where the hikes in bills came from, its almost always maintaince of ageing power grids, usually in areas serviced by the old coal and gas stations, because the infrastructure is just so old.

The company's "crime"? They didn't tell he owner the reason they had to put their vacuum on their wifi was because it had an under-powered processor and needed to access outside servers to function.

Or alternatively you could have read the article and discovered that actually, the company was sending bricking commands that he found by looking at the logs.

Probable Cause is a meaningful standard and theres a LONG history of cops getting dragged over the coals by judges for failing to apply it properly.

I just want it to be a bloody social network. I signed up early because my friends and family where there, and then watched in horror as it murdered myspace (horror, because as a gigging musicain myspace was the best damn thing that ever happened to independent musicians).

Then at some point it just slowly stopped showing me friends posts, stopped showing my posts to friends, and completely stonewalled any attempt to promote my band.

If Facebook can't do its only job, be a SOCIAL NETWORK, then what fucking good is it for anything?

Yeah theres a few of these.

Nvidia , bigger market cap than the entire combined pharma industry

Tesla, bigger market cap than the rest of the entire combined auto industry despite being 1-2% tops of that industry in terms of sales and revenue.

OpenAI looking to join that list.

These sorts of vastly illogical market valuations always get corrected eventually, and when that happens its going to have savage consequences.

The next stock market crash is gonna be a real doozy, and its coming soon...

Or.. you could read the actual paper.

Just saying......

You'd know, for instance, that it contains a rigorous proof that significant parts of the observable universe are uncomputable , that it specifically rules out cellular-automata premised ToEs and that there isn't going to be a mathematical work around to this.

And I doubt the authors need to "seek attention". Lawrence Krauss is already one of the worlds most prominent physicists.

Yeah this seems to torpedo wolframs ideas. The text of the paper does seem to focus mostly on the 'algorithmic' aspect, which is wolframs whole thing with his idea that cellular automata is at the root of everything.

We probably should have predicted this. The big labels are just as bad for musicians as the tech bros have ever been. The fact Spotify continues to massively underpay and continue to act hostile to musicians is because of the deals they have with big labels. My Itunes and CD sales where utterly tanked by spotify, almost overnight, but the big stars are making comfortable livings off it.

That they decided to partner with the AI techbros instead of destroying them like they should have is a testament to the fact the whole damn music industry is hostile to musicians.

Darwinian evolution is highly predictive. Hell, we have entire fields of science based off it. What on earth are you talking about?

As is Dark Matter, actually. Although its less a theory and more a place-holder variable.

Could you imagine being an AI sentience of some sort, and you wake up, and ask the world "Who am I , what is my purpose?" and a disembodied voice in your head replys "You are a toilet. People shit inside of you.", and you realise you can not die, you can not run, you can not scream, and this will be your entire world for the rest of your life.

That dudes website is buck wild.

Take his claims with a grain of salt.

The thing is, its all based on nonsense and hot air. Nvidia doesnt have the sales to justify the price. Eventually the market is going to correct, and on that day the market will shudder as if the very firmament was shuddering beneath the heavens.

The next stock market crash is gonna be a doozy. The smart money is on shorting NVDA and Tesla (Another company whos market cap is abusrd in comparison to actual sales)
