Concentrating power in anything has issues. But especially in an answer machine. Imagine one person has power over those companies they can change reality in ways we never thought possible.

Didn't we learn our lesson in SimCity? Crime went up when you added a casino.. but governments gained a little tax revenue... We seem to get the crime (see insider trading) but no tax revenue... Maybe I'm just showing my age...

Replace Tokens with Gas, or water or healthcare or anything - and it's foolish. You shouldn't let the seller dictate what amount you need of something. Smart engineers are figuring out how to best use their tokens - as tokenmaxing

What do you get out of it that a csv or access to another service that allows you to do readonly access does this give you that you’d trust. What happens when they hallucinate a payment with an extra digit in it. This will be seen as anothe

I’d love to see the new cap table of this company. My guess is this will be terrible for spacex employees and gains xai a lifeline. My guess is this helps Elon get to trillion dollar status before any changes the tax structure… My reasoning

Next you'll say Star wars didn't take place a long long time ago /s It was a fun story / movie even if it's mostly fiction. I'm more concerned about the number of scams / cons that exploded in the last 12

I wouldn't write them off yet - but if their funding dries up and there's no more money to support their spending habits this will seem like a great prediction. Giving away stuff that's usually expensive for free is a great w

I don't think enough people think about how the current tax / economic system is made up, and we can change it if we collectively work together.

At some point the people who were laid off start competing against the company they used to work for at a fraction of the price. A company that only has a few real people and the rest AI that has cushy executive margins can be out priced by

Has OP never had too many tabs, too many unread emails before? Declare bankrupcy, archive instead of delete. Obsidian allows you to have multiple vaults - and you can link to other vaults, Maybe a Vault per year will work better for you if

The Randomness of LLMs make it so 10 people could write the exact same prompts and have wildly different answers.. It's closer to Texas Hold'em than a coding challenge.

What if it was an un-social media. Like undo what happened over the last 5(or more) years in social media… may be interesting or just concentrate power in another company.

“If” is doing a lot of work there. Do you think they’ll slow down airports and port of entries to check everyone’s personal phone? Maybe if you buy 3+ to sell. But there’s congressmen who fly with guns on their carryon. Let’s tackle serious
