Cramer's picks are so bad that he is more often wrong than right. A study (https://www.cxoadvisory.com/gurus/) (https://www.danerwealth.com/blog/the-terrible-track-record-of-wall-street-forecasts) showed that he was accurate only 47% of the time, or worse than a coin flip.

If Cramer says to dump AI, that means you should buy AI.

10 million people within spitting distance of America who now have a *renewed* reason for revenge. This administration is filled with geniuses.

It's gonna be directed by Shawn Levy, who makes pablum for the masses, so it'll be exactly like the Grogu movie. Making a buck with predictable crap and stretching the IP

> and cost nearly nothing to produce

> budget of $10M

Hollywood is seriously fucked in the head

Pretty sad. Time to see a therapist to deal with your anger issues

Adding more people to a software team does not make the team move faster, nor does it allow you to ship better software faster. This has been well-known for about five decades.

Whether you use small teams and switch to big teams, or use big teams and switch to small teams, the output will be shit if the people coordinating the work and the people doing the work aren't good at their jobs.

You can't take young inexperienced people and make their output smarter just because you have lots of them.

The biggest barriers to productivity in any corporation are organization, communication, and agency. Road blocks are death by a thousand cuts.

All of this means that just changing team size will make no difference whatsoever by itself.

Ransomware attacks are only possible if you have no backup of your data or infrastructure. They depend entirely on the idea that the attacker can steal all of your data, delete it all from your servers, and you have no way to get it back.

This should never be possible for any responsible business. Yet this happens to organizations all the time, and it seems like there's no punishment for this at all, or recourse for people affected by it.

We need to make a software building code that enforces doing the right thing for all online businesses. It would be the same as the building code, electrical code, and fire code that we require businesses comply to for the safety of the people at those businesses and their customers.

AI is only going to make these attacks happen more frequently. We must have a legal regulation that forces businesses to do what they should have been doing already.

If talking to a robot that seems human is the measure of consciousness then computers we had 30 years ago were conscious.

Anthropic actually hires philosophers, scientists, etc who are experts on consciousness, and even THEY don't know if it's conscious. It's a stupid idea anyway. It's like trying to measure when you're dead; there is no one indicator of it.

Actually, no, the first Polestar 4 had no rear window. It hasn't had a rear window since... 2023. They have had a camera mirror this entire time. They are just now *adding* a rear window. https://www.topgear.com/car-ne...

Machiavelli would be very proud of the tech bros. He also thought you have to be armed to the teeth, and that committing immoral acts is the responsibility of the ruler. But he didn't live in a world with intricately linked global economies. America's true power is not its military, but the *appearance* of a strong military. Its true strength is the finance sector, which all countries bow down to.

AI companies are the new arms dealers. Of course they want strong militarized nations. Who else will spend hundreds of billions on their computerized weapons? They profit more from war than peace.

This kind of action combines with the new "Age Verification" laws. These laws mandate you have to use an OS that "verifies" your age, so that it can be passed onto an app store. Soon the law will change to be, the OS can *only* install apps through the app store. You will only be able to run programs Apple, Google, and the Government let you. And if you circumvent it to install a random program, you're breaking the law.

If you think this is crazy, remember we already had DMCA passed, which prevented you from legally doing things like playing your own DVD on Linux.

The reporting here is shallow and empty. There's only one reason they gave up safety, which Dario has been hammering on about non-stop. The government (and specifically *the military*) has forced a private company to be LESS SAFE with cutting edge experimental technology.

When Anthropic later is found to be causing harm to people, remember where to put the blame: Trump and his cabal of thugs and maniacs.

Almost every single prediction of doom by humans ends up being false. We are an easily frightened species and we don't stop to rationally analyze predictions of doom.

We are, however, very good at adaptation. Nearly any doom you can imagine, we end up working around. Fear of something doesn't stop us from fixing it.

The exception is mass murder. We haven't yet been able to stop powerful men from killing millions if they feel like it. We should be a lot more frightened of authoritarians than technology.

It's stupid that they would need to charge in a garage, as battery warming pads are available aftermarket.

But it's even stupider that the GM for Green Mountain Transit thinks the barrier to charging under 41 degrees "is simply a software update". No it's not, genius, if you charge under 40 degrees you destroy your battery. They really need to have more transparency on these govt projects. Anybody who has a basic knowledge of electronics, or even campers, could fix this.

Get the warming pads off Amazon and you'll be fine.

Honestly I'm sure they're right, all of it can be automated. What's the worst that could happen? After all the only things AI can't do are:

  - Understand Cause and Effect
  - Apply "Common Sense"
  - Avoid Hallucinations
  - Handle Unexpected Situations
  - Possess Empathy or Emotional Intelligence
  - Perform True Creativity or Reasoning
  - Make Ethical/Moral Decisions
  - Multitask Effectively
  - Know What it Doesn't Know

I'm sure nothing bad will happen when all white-collar work in the world is replaced by this
