The main ideas for solving Navier Stokes have been exposed, it's not something buried in slop. And if it were, you could have AI write up the big ideas that actually mattered in these said slop proofs. I think they're more afraid

I was watching a talk by Terence Tao a couple of days ago, and I noticed a shift in his attitude towards AI. His enthusiasm seemed to have waned; he was becoming more dismissive of it, and I was wondering why. “A Severe Misalignment of AI i

Each day I'm thinking, global politics and unification would solve this. And yet, every day, I see us getting removed further and further away from it.

Thanks for the insights. The 'podcasting bro' bit is hilarious. I don't think demand will collapse though, since the Mag7 has the cash flow to spend, and they can monetize if the time's ripe. What do you think?

Well, they might have gotten a little wary from previous boom and bust cycles. Perhaps they are a bit wary about the economic sustainability of the whole AI thing. However, perhaps they also might be driven by greed at this point. Why not j

I've thought about this too. I do agree that open source models look good and enticing, especially from a privacy standpoint. But these solutions are always going to remain niche solutions for power users. I'm not one of them. I c

My brother convinced me to try a 1Password family account, since it would be cheaper. Ever since, the Chrome plugin takes forever to login. Sometimes up to 5-6 seconds. And it really annoys me that they have so many resources and money, and

This whole 'smart contracts' thing is stupid. The issue is trust. Smart contracts as a solution are a sad attempt at solving that issue. There's always edge cases you can't code in. E.g. in the example of the neighbour
