996 work schedules are not intended to produce technological results. They craft an image that can be used to raise capital then sell the company.

That sounds like an argument a criminal would make. Reminds me of all those straight dudes who diggle little girls and honestly believe that since they are not gay it doesn't count.

Sort of. Keep in mind a lot of that 'demand' is companies placing orders far in advance due to worry that supply will eventually not meet demand. So while not third party speculation like we tend to think of it, it is still buying up future production now on the idea that prices will go up in the future.

Heh. I am thinking back to how much more expensive it is to review or audit AI written code... I would expect AI auditing of ledgers to have the same issues.

I am wondering how the people the reports are actually for will think about this. Audits for your own piece of mind... sure.. but for regulators, banks, investors, or courts? They might take a dim view of this. I also wonder who professionals will feel signing off on AI work since they would then be legally responsible for it.

That is a good sign that something is a bit of a scam..... something being hyped up, and failure to live up to that hype being framed as being the users's fault, is not a good sign.

I think musk is suffering from a bit of video game logic here.... build something once and profit forever.

Given how much energy it costs to launch something, I wonder if these solar data centers can even break even within their estimated lifespans.

The big problem will not be how many mistakes it makes, but if you can explain some feature to it.

Something I have been noticing in a lot of AI generated media, it can be visually impressive, but once someone actually tries to use it to tell a story, even a simple one, they find they can't control it well enough to actually produce what they want.

Ai generated stuff is great when you don't care what it produces because you just need _something_ that is close.. but as Ai researchers have known long before this boom, machine learning falls apart when the answer actually matters.

On the other hand, think of how much of the revenue in the game industry today comes from mobile apps and other advertiser friendly products. This type of offering probably can not help the type of games people actually buy, but it could reduce costs and increase output of free games where the players are the product, which investors could see dollar signs in.

I am guessing it is just a messy game engine with a natural language interface instead of an ide where you configure things by hand. Meaning to do anything interesting, you'll probably have to break out of the rubber room and work with the actual API to whatever half baked monstrocity they have under the hood.

So.. they have come up with a game engine where its entire appeal is its informal, undocumented command language that mostly j sut does whatever 'most' people have done before? I suspect 10 year olds will love it for about a week before they realize they don't have the creative control that they want, and any other creative type will find little use for it. Now, if you are some kind of hustle culture bro who wants to produce tons of slop to throw on some app store or ad ridden platform, I guess it might be appealing?

That really was not the intent behind the second amendment. The whole 'to protect against government tyranny' framing came out of trying to fight the civil rights movement. The 'tyranny' pictured at the time was things like desegregated schools, disallowing sunset towns, and prosecuting lynchings.

The original purpose was to appease southern delegates who were afraid their slave patrols would be disarmed by a government that might try to protect people

Sadly, even areas that are set up like that today, the building is still owned by a developer and rented out. Prices are set by what rent seekers and their accumulated wealth can afford, not what rent payers can.

One of the limitations of those models though is they tend to encourage concentration of wealth, which in turn deforms the model and makes things less efficient. Rent seekers tend to frame themselves as necessary and 'the ones taking risk', but really they are a parasitic drain on an economy.
