SpaceX and Telsa are government funded ... More so than NPR. I don't see that tag anywhere on Twitter. And I wouldn't be surprised if twitter is combing the tax code to find government subsidies. It's the slippery slope fallacy. Maybe we should start calling jaywalkers un-convicted criminals. It'd be a good way to differentiate rural and urban people for political gain. This is just another way to keep people heading to twitter for some extra clicks.

I think it's less RSU ... and that's it. Which isn't great for tech in general.

We need better fingerprinting. This would help with having people preemptively prompting then only showing the last prompt and results.

I’d love to see a list of startups who bank with svb. If I worked for them I’d be saving my money

This is about Activision purchase. Hey regulators, look we play well with others companies... and 10 years is pretty good right we can buy Activision now right? (10 years 1 day later all Activision games are Xbox XL exclusives)

It's not just Sci-fi ... my partner thought I wrote my valentines day card using it .... (I did not, but I understand why)

Maybe we need people who use the internet to make rules for the internet. Stop electing people who want to turn back the clock.

Next up alcohol doesn’t create new fun, it just borrows tomorrows fun(hangover).

This is one of many problems with the lack of innovation in the home in the last 40 years. Being a former IOT UXE I've been fascinated with this space. It's too bad my pitches never took off.

I don’t know why there isn’t a way to authorize emails / domains coming thru, and reject all unauthorized emails. The amount of spam I get from other people who either forget their email address or purposely send me their email is crazy. Apparently I live in utah, London England, Scotland and Thunder Bay Canada based on the people who regularly sign up under my email address.

There will always be a need for the boss to have someone else make sure the work is done correctly. And like any contractor knows. What the boss / client says they wants isn’t always what they really want. Also until humans aren’t using the software we need it to be usable. A lot of the code I’ve seen generated is bland and engineering build at best.

Have you seen gpl 2? In theory that might cover this case. But there’s a lot of reasons open source people don’t want certain code being used without constraints but allow it to be open sourced.

I was about to write a similar post, all companies using open ai will need more than a prompt as their competitive advantage. Or be caught in a race to the bottom. Microsoft needs open ai or risk this commoditize their business like msft did to ibm or component manufacturers did to dell.

It was worth 50% less before Elon bought it based on the valuations adjustment in most tech companies. (-22B) Then Elon cut/lost 75% of their workers… which is a significant value to any valuation(-5-10B) based off the ability to make new products or sell parts of the company. Then they lost a significant income stream by many companies buying ads leaving. And haven’t found an equal source of income. My guess is they are closer to 6-12B.

Also their debt is really significant…

Yup saw it on my house. Repriced by over 10% over last year.

I figured the Boring company had a similar approach, but when I researched their technique ... I was very disappointed. This is really cool. Can't wait to see it go into production.

Great so now I have to follow all 200M people on Twitter? That’s going to be pretty noisy.

ok so again, you want to allow people with power to have a system more like the legal system. A powerful person can insight a mob attack on twitter, (breaking it's own rules) because he's powerful.

I'm just suggesting that rules should be uniform. If you or I can't do it he shouldn't be able to do it. They had rules, if they don't agree with those rules, remove them. But then everyone else can swat, or doxx or other kind of terrible actions - which is a hellscape not a town square.

Law isn't equal, but really should be.

So you’d honestly want social media to be more like legal system than both being better? Personally I’d like to see more optimism in the world.

consequences isn’t silencing people… I don’t think we should want a world where people bigger / stronger / richer than you or me can do whatever to our detriment. If you disagree let’s do something about legal system first then worry about social media.

Sounds like Elon is ok with civil war as long as it’s tweeted. I don’t know why any ceo would want to be part of Jan 6 like event in any capacity regardless of politics.

I should have titled it Wrong answers on purpose ... I know there's some wrong answers ... but it's not on purpose that I can tell. If everyone is using this blackbox as a data source it's really easy to abuse.

Lol Maybe that’s openai business model charge teachers to see if a paper was written by them. Sadly jokes on them. Most teachers aren’t the money bags some think they are.

It'd be nice if there was a platform that was specifically designed for People, not bots / propagandist. Corporations should need to pay to be identified as such, and we should know when a person vs a corporation says something. Does this exist... not that I've seen. Vanity metrics like number of users have become real metrics for valuation... until that's broken we can't have these discussions. But my biggest problem with Twitter is it's easily manipulated. Small groups of people can pretend to be large groups by making a small topic tend.

We act like likes are votes, but anyone can create multiple accounts .... Imagine if we did democracy this way ....

Although technically this is really cool, I worry that there is something more important we could be doing with our best minds?

I thought about this a lot, it's possible, but you aren't ignoring 90% of all the sounds in the gym. Without a predictive system or an instant computer you can't get all the noises cancelled correctly, just the music. The music also bounces off walls, so if you remove the Avici direct from the speaker, you'll hear echos from the reflection.

Fool me 10 times… and I’ll write a strongly written statement in bill.

Ohh no ... I really hope this doesn't become a thing ... I don't want corporate espionage to become this insane.

That assumes that facebook.com/feed is the only interaction you have with facebook. Even if you delete your account they create an unregistered account to monitor your existence on the internet. Currently they act more like credit agencies and should have regulation to help treat them as such (although credit agencies get away with too much too)

Isn't it cheaper to mine resources in space for space travel then to eject them from earths orbit. If we found an astroid that had water that'd be worth it to bring it to a space dock or to any habitat that doesn't have water (planet, spaceship, satellite).

I do agree the idea of bringing them back to Earth makes no sense, and the technology necessary to do that will probably make it not necessary thru other breakthroughs. But if you believe that Earth isn't the only location for humans to live we won't want to bring ML (Mega Liters) of water to future habitats, we want to either find it, or manufacture it.
