How so?

> There is something deeply rotten about the US mindset

What is that “something”?

> a chart produced by Apollo Global Management in September 2025

We’re using a year old chart to have a pulse on trends in a very fast moving market place?

Yeah I support their choice, because as you say it is their property after all.

Amplifiese the impetus for the counter balance of open weights.

This funnels my attention to one story at a time and I can’t get an overview of a breadth of things and then choose where to focus my attention.

Have you considered how to solve that?

This does not prevent Anthropic from reverse engineering using their internally available models.

This is The Guardian fermenting anti-data center sentiment, rather than doing interesting investigative journalism about worker conditions in Europe, even something as basic as comparing worker experiences, risks, injuries across industries or countries, etc.

Those comparisons could for example contextualize and frame whether the conditions they report on are abnormally high, unusually low, or average.

Sounds almost too good to be true. Has anyone tried it?

> Why not support one of those ventures or build a platform to help amplify them?

Because then you can't collect donations. And you have first prove yourself to be able to contribute to those projects. Because you want to make a name for yourself. Because you want to cast a big umbrella over unrelated software, except for the fact that they got started by this "movement".

Don't fall for it.

Build stuff. Skill honing comes from doing. Expertise does not come from reading books.

Wouldn't that cost more?

What I find amusing is people asking for advice on buying an appliance on this site. Not bad, just an unexpected pattern to my eyes at least.

It's like every 3 months someone asks some variant of this question.

Samsung Frame is esthetically pleasing, high picture quality.

Eric Schmidt should give the book away to every single adult in the USA, free of charge.

The author appears to be comparing Apple's revenue against a measure closer to retailers' gross margins rather than their total consumer sales.

> everyone wants to talk about the rate speculation, rather than about the finding that jobs are picking up in spite of AI.

The Economist had an article early September "The jobs apocalypse is postponed. An AI jobs boom is here" - https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2026/09/04/t...

> but "killed millions of people" is an order of magnitude wrong. More like around 200,000.

I stand corrected.

Wasn’t his character’s power teeny tiny compared to those who ruled the Federation?

How is comparing energy usage of a facility like a data center to a weapon that killed millions of people many decades ago an illuminating comparison?

It is like comparing a banana to a chair.

> The point is that AI will be able to advance on any problem better than any human.

Define "better".

> Bottom sixty percent of Americans have no federal tax liability

That's very misleading. That makes it sound like the bottom 60% pay no federal taxes, which is false. They pay federal payroll taxes if they're employed.

The "top 40% doesn't want to pay more taxes" is asserted, not proven.

etc.

> hope

That a misread. Not hope, but descriptive of dynamics that is in contrast with the UK. Not a guarantee for success, but I know if I had to bank on one locale vs. the other which one I'd pick to live and invest my energy, time, and resources into.

Muse is also retarded. Physically, emotionally, intellectually. All the things.

Unlike the headline, which says living standards are set to fall in the UK, I don't think the US is in for an equivalent, given its economic engine, human capital, resilience, creativity.

But I don't care to convince any one of this.

... in the UK.

> I find this research odd because I don’t know what field of study to call this.

Probably multiple with very complex system dynamics, feedback loops: Cliodynamics, Cultural evolution, Cultural anthropology, Archaeology, Sociology Political science, Institutional economics, Urban planning, Complexity science, Social ecology

ChatGPT can also convert between files.

Money is valuable partly because it can buy time, but time is valuable independently of money.

Legitimate epistemological observation, but unsound argument on top of it.

Its central mistake is conflating the impossibility of absolute certainty with the existence of equally legitimate explanations.

> More worrying, what if one is (for lack of a better word, what we might describe as) God and one is the Devil?

In this framing, are God and Devil stand-ins for Good and Evil?
