Idk how sincere they are being, but taking them at their word then asking government to set rules is entirely reasonable and, in fact, the entire reason government exists. The feds can, should and arguably must set actual safety limits. Bid

In my house, even the iPad hasn't been touched in weeks. I frankly don't see how tablets even have all that much appeal beyond little kids or maybe retail spaces. Don't really understand the utility of a convertible device.

It's pretty well documented that his father groomed his image for him with the money he earned in real estate. A lot of things with Trump's name on them are things he didn't actually build. They are branding agreements.

I remember the endless glazing of Sam Bankman-Fried being pretty similar. Pretty sure they engineered it that way. Sell the idea of success. Trump did the exact same thing.

I took a local class that really helped but the lesson was really just a basic project that had like 40 solder points. First few barely stuck, last few looked perfect. Just do it over and over and you'll get better pretty quickly.

His manifesto was an unvarnished call for corporatist fascism.

My side projects all take forever and meander indefinitely. Completing them means they're over. I do them to do them. I pretty much never make anything useful.

I'm saying they will not be in homes until they have a perfect safety record. But no, it's not a constraint for other applications. And yes, military bots all roll or fly. No humanoids.

I'd wager we just end up with multiple models for different roles. If we get a multipurpose bot it will be a rolling trash can with multiple arms.

Have you ever seen an ATV? You can absolutely drive up a mountain without roads on wheels. Or treads. Also nobody is buying a robot to walk up a mountain. They will spend all their time indoors or on paved roads.

I have a few thoughts. Number one is that humanoid robots are probably a dead end. It's movie stuff. It makes me think of Henry Ford saying customers want "faster horses". It is the fault of evolution that we don't have

I haven't read every word but I don't recall him saying AI is bad or useless ever either. His refrain is that they cannot keep up with their endless spending on training and they're not reaching new markets. I look at the rap

Remember when Republicans ran on small government, don't tread on me, Tea Party libertarians fighting the surveillance state? That was less than 20 years ago. Probably it was always a fraud.

We cannot grow our way out of 6% deficits. Deficits need to be 2% max.

"Worked fine" is a pretty vague description for the year we had a Great Depression, world war, Jim Crow, Japanese internment to name a few.

It's just such mindless cruelty. It's hard to imagine so many people support this.

We can presume with near certainty that there are vast quantities of lost artifacts from lost civilizations of early humans that were crafted from organic matter that have just deteriorated to dust. We say "Stone Age" only because

This is almost certainly false. The vast majority of government spending goes directly to people that need it or debt service. There is very little outright fraud as DOGE quickly learned. The only meaningful target for cuts is military. And

I'm confused as to what the actual issue was. What was the data for which Uzbekistan was the outlier and why?

I mean we have the 4th amendment here too. But there are exceptions for border control that have been upheld in court.

It seems far more plausible to do this at state levels. NY teased it recently and then backed off.

Two sides of the same coin. Why would I impose discipline on myself without proper motivation?

Zuck's was weird. Andreesen's was just awful. Basically saying that nobody had any right to restrict him and other tech bros from raking in unlimited money doing whatever they wanted and that a bit of fascism couldn't hurt. H

I've been hearing about quitting tech to open a bakery forever. I even know several people who did it long before ChatGPT. It's the nature of any corporate job. The politics and focus on shareholder value are incompatible with mos

I think you're right and I think it's why Google have taken their pedal off the metal for model releases to focus on integrations and tools. And why Microsoft have backed off from the OpenAI partnership to do the same. Anthropic a

No coincidence, BMW and Samsung did product placement in the movie too. Very conspicuously.
