I assume strong AI is possible at any time, as soon as the algorithm is figured out.

You can't call something a "serious bid for top talent" when you don't even know what the terms are. Applications haven't opened, and the details about eligibility haven't been released. It's premature to make conclusions about what they are trying to do (let along what they will do) without those details.

The Soviet Union never even pretended to be communist. They claimed they were socialist, and working towards communism. But they were quite aware they hadn't achieved it yet.

What on earth are you talking about? Rosseau doesn't have anything to do with electric cars.

The government. That's why they are complaining (according to the summary).

If the gate to production is lithium batteries, then you might as well use the batteries you have in luxury cars instead of cheap cars. At least, that is optimal from the manufacturer's perspective.

If you can get batteries for both (which will eventually happen as production increases and prices come down), then you will make both luxury and cheap cars.

Is that really true?

I thought they got bought? Did Oracle re-capitalize? I need an upgrade on Niagara.

Yes, but half the people have below-average intelligence.

We won't have a stable society if they're constantly scammed.

And I know some High-IQ people with no street smarts who got scammed by "Raj from Microsoft Support".

Really some dude from a trailer park might have a better BS detector, having lived a less coddled existence.

Put something fake in your robots.txt and block the IP that accesses the fake URL.

AI people: "oh, that's where all the good stuff is!"

At least read the summary! "declining emissions in the travel, cement and steel industries."

I didn't get into P vs NP until my second year of college.

The real answer entirely depends on if they succeed or not.

If they manage to build real, strong AI, then it won't be a bubble. If they manage to replace a significant amount of the workforce with automation, then it won't be a bubble. The LLMs have already proved useful in some areas, but probably not enough to justify the valuation.

If it's mostly vaporware, then that bubble will pop hard.

In particular, I don't think there was any significant population that described themselves as woke. It was a pejorative from the beginning.

The al jazeera article means that births have been declining since the 1980s, which is true and obvious if you actually had read it.
