AI definitely has some value and income.

Not as much as it's being hyped as, but significant. Anthropic for example will get nearly 50 billion in revenue this year.

And the value of people using AI smartly is definitely not zero. We're in the late 90s internet part of this. In 10 years there will be AI that we take for granted making some companies billions and a lot of failed companies. There's no reason to think otherwise.

It's also not going to replace lawyers and doctors, it will be part of how they do their job better much like the internet though.

I don't think this will kill Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon or Oracle. Their worwr case is having to dump their AI programs, take a stock hit, and issue some bonds. They all have enough revenue for the foreseeable future that they won't bankrupt.

From a business sense it is somewhat unstable.

For example if any investments were made WRT the earlier tarrifs, I bet they don't look so hot now.

Or maybe you invested in a large off shore wind project, how did the stability of the US turn out?

And for more balanced take (Trump is more recent, and extreme, but not the only problem) congress as a whole is unwilling to work together and pass laws so we end up with executive orders and whiplash on policy.

For an investment that will take years to complete and pay off the US is becoming risky in some areas. The risk is due to the instability of policy and law.

They're claiming 10x Cerebras (a 25kw system) performance.

100x performance per watt.

Even if they're overestimating / best casing the situation there is value to be had here.

The current frontier models have use. This could be made for one and depending on hardware cost be useful for a year and replaced (Nvidia/AMD hardware are advancing fast enough to be obsolete pretty quick too). I can see a business built around a product based on an open weight model using these in servers.

This is for end user/cloud provider products. And if these can be developed fast enough and not cost too much, there's likely a market.

This kills me. Instead of a "simple" (I realize that e.g. a google search is not all that simple) database query, we have an LLM that does the query for you, then analyzes it, and redisplays the output (making it thousands of times more computationally expensive) but now you are suggesting that the chatbot control a VM or similar and perform the steps as if it were a human, adding millions of times more overhead. It's mind boggling.

Isn't cordyceps the fungal family that zombifies ants and other insects? Why anyone would want to promote something that maintains physical contact between living cordyceps and humans is beyond my comprehension.

Conspiracy theory: the "anyone" doing the promoting is already affected by the product they're hawking and it's trying to spread.

You have to be talking about Europe or something, because most people buying new cars in the US are buying off the lot. Dealers order vehicles with option packages most likely to appeal to a broad set of customers or designed to maximize their sales. Some people do order the exact vehicle they want, of course, but they're the minority.

"Normal" meaning what would be a normalized average of other countries. The typical US national park is bigger than all but the biggest parks throughout Europe. They're absent even fire trails throughout most of them, and they do not have nearby civilian residences for wanderers to happen upon.

Larger parks are closer to what would be considered "remote wilderness" in the furthest extents of Asia. You've got some of these places just hours from our biggest metropolitan cities.

Really, the only places in the world which compare would be China and Russia, and large parts of South America. But in most cases those are actually wilderness, all but inaccessible.
