until the AI bubble bursts
The bubble will burst because of a failure to monetize, not a failure of the underlying technology.
People are using AI for free. Why will they start paying hundreds of billions for it?
It was the same in the Dotcom crash. Pets.com had a failed business model, but the Internet didn't go away.
Maybe that few-years-old gas-powered car that is still perfectly functional is preferable to a pricey upgrade to a shiny new car
No. That would explain a general lack of new car sales, but that's not what's happening. It is only EV sales that are stagnating. People are still buying gas cars.
EV sales are booming in China. A big reason is much lower prices. In China, EVs are cheaper than equivalent ICE cars. That is also true in Southeast Asia, which imports EVs from China. But the West restricts EV imports, so the prices are much higher.
in a path of a 9 richter scale earthquake
The site is hundreds of miles from the Cascadia fault line.
and massive tsunamis
There is a major mountain range (the Cascades) and many miles of desert between the site and the coast.
Recording video is not illegal.
Recording audio IS illegal in California without the consent of all parties.
Since Meta glasses record audio by default, he likely broke the law.
Indeed. I can think of zero reasons to go to a physical bookstore to download an e-book.
The reason they expect seems to be "because you hate Amazon", but unfortunately, I don't hate Amazon. I'm a mostly happy customer.
Indeed. Expecting robot manufacturers to buy their software is silly.
Robots are designed with SW and HW closely coupled. No one is gonna design dexterous robot hands that can crack eggs and change diapers, and then, at the very end, go looking for software to make it work. That's absurd.
There are a lot of risks in the SMR approach
The biggest risk is that they don't exist yet.
all the power from an AP1200.
What is an AP1200?
If you mean AP1000 , those take twenty years to build and cost 300% of the initial estimate.
if they could fulfill the needs of the Birmingham council.
What special snowflake needs does Birmingham have that makes it any different from the hundreds of other cities running off-the-shelf solutions?
Make sure your contracts are a fixed price
Contractee: "We insist on a fixed price contract."
Contactor: "No problem. We agree."
One month later:
Contractee: "We need to make some small changes to the spec."
Contractor: "That's gonna cost ya."
How come all of the so-called Oracle disasters end up requiring the client to pay Oracle 10x the initial estimate.
You are confusing cause and effect. These projects are designed to fail, because failure is where the profit is.
How this company continually gets away with it is beyond me.
They've been caught paying kickbacks for contracts.
That's how Gray Davis lost his job.
Larry didn't make $400B by being generous.
not smart enough to hire the right people.
If you don't know how to do X, then how do you know who are "the right people" to do X?
Were any of the users actually paid what they were promised?
Were any users paid anything?
there was no one with dark skin who was also a qualified applicant?
How dark?
#e0ac69 should be good enough, but maybe #c68642 just to be sure.
Also, these people were already in the pipeline before Trump was sworn in.
Never trust an operating system.
