Theft of what? There was no market for "memes in ghibli style commissioned by the original studio" which would probably cost hundreds if not thousands if hand-drawn. Nobody was going to pay for that. When it became freely availabl

Don't want it to sound harsh but he's 94 years old. Could it be he just doesn't want to go out with a loss and is fine with his final score not fluctuating too much? Even if the markets don't correct/crash like his

Doing it in pure SQL is really impressive but I think the real tell-tale sign of peak "cracked engineer energy" is the maintained, decade-old blogspot site. Can't exactly put my finger on it, but really gives off "niche

Though I like the novelty of AI generated content, it kind of sucks dead internet theory is becoming more and more prevalent. YouTube (and all of the web) is already being spammed with AI generated slop and "better" video/tex

Was a pump & dump by Casey Neistat. Lacked true popularity and network effects as it turned out people don't want to share unedited, raw footage. Social media is about looking good. So Casey just used his YouTube/influencer po

Huh? This is a peak performance in capitalism. Free market mechanics at its finest. This guy got roughly 2B$ to step down whilst still billing 50M$ annually as a "consultant".

To me, this seems like engagement clickbait targeting PG to promote an infotainment product (CTO coaching/course): >there is no cookie banner law There definitely is. The article explicitly states this: >you need my consent when

So write unit tests automatically, change code later and then regenerate the unit tests? Now the code has a bug but the unit tests pass. I'm already seeing this today with devs using ChatGPT to quickly get the "test boilerplate&qu

They were cherry picked examples such as your "$10 fine" example to demonstrate that how in multiple places in the world people (and even children) are imprisoned under horrible circumstances, spend their entire lives behind bars

I'm not sure why or what you are cherry picking here. I could easily quote pieces on how prisoners are treated in Guantanamo Bay, what happened in Abu Ghraib under American supervision or how we happily send billions of dollars to a co

Because OpenAI has first mover advantage, an actual product, the household "ChatGPT" name and starting anything from 0 would mean you start with a 3-0 disadvantage. Even if you threw a few billion dollars at it and attracted all o

I wonder how much the regression of ChatGPT is due to it adding new content which has its origin from ChatGPT. The blog and SEO spam with ChatGPT fluff is going through the roof, eventually all of that will get crawled too and the model wil

Why would he be annoyed? The lifetime business value and goodwill from this public analysis probably earned a lot more for Patrick than any consulting gig Colin would have paid for.

Information & propaganda wars are so asymmetrical I sometimes wish there was less reporting until it was actually clear what is going on. It's all just one fog of uncertainty and whoever thinks what is being reported now is correct

I don't know how well the results hold up after a year, but according to Redis the Dragonfly performance test is biased and with Redis configured properly it reached higher throughput than Dragonfly. YMMV but just putting this up here.

Meaning JPM was also granted a new exemption to the 10% deposit cap in this acquisition? There are regulations[0] preventing banks with >=10% of US deposits to grow larger in size by acquiring other banks. Another win for TBTF theorists.
