That requires explanation of a mechanism that would generate wealth for yourself (and your selected friends) and no one else. Capturing 100% of the value is all but impossible. Also you didn't address what he said,…
Liquidity is an emergent property. It doesn't change the fact that when you buy something the money moved.
The share is under your control, the money isn't. Being able to convert it at will doesn't change that. Also how much if anything it's worth when you go to convert it isn't under your control either.

> move money around each other's pockets rather than investing in something wealth creating So your claim is that wealthy people aren't interested in generating more wealth for themselves? What exactly is it you are…
Instead of a mouth tape get one of those moldable plastic mouth guard things from amazon. And mold the hole shut.

The purpose of IQ tests is to derive a value that would predict other values. The inverse is also true. Given a multitude of such values it would even be possible to get back to a precise IQ value. IQ tests are just…
The other such labeled companies have contracts too.

This is fairly naive, Elon isn't the only investor in SpaceX. My guess is "that they did the math" and had an engineering study which convinced them that getting AI datacenters into space will make sense. It's also not…
Yes that guy is extremely weird, he should delegate operations and community management to someone who isn't weird and stick to development.
The same way that having motorized farming equipment was a race to the bottom for farmers? Perhaps. Turned out to be a good outcome for most involved. Just like farmers who couldn't cope with the additional leverage…
This wasn't even true 10 years ago...
The idea that a group of people would spend so much of their time trying to get linux to work on Apple hardware through reverse engineering always seemed absolutely crazy to me. I would never consider buying Apple…
A sufficiently seeded torrent is a high latency static CDN. You just need a client that can make use of it. I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in making one however, you can already get a patched Spotify APK from…
When they say "worse" they do mean the AI will get better which will be worse because they are ideologically opposed to AI.
when you combine a residential proxy with a tool like curl-impersonate (there are libraries in Go for this type of fingerprint spoofing now) they dont even show up as scrapers anymore, just users. especially when they…

Gemini 2.5 was a full broadside on OpenAI's ship. After Gemini 3.0 the OpenAI damage control crews all drowned. Not only is it vastly better, it's also free. I find this particular benchmark to be in agreement with my…
The answer to that is simple: They hate AI and the environment angle is just an excuse, much like their concern over AI art. Human psychology is such that many of these people actually believe the excuse too. It helps…
The real question is if AI replaces labor, what will keep democracy in place? People who advocate for things like UBI don't seem to realize that when voters don't have a share in the productivity of their nation, they…
