Not sure it'd be my cup of tea. I prefer a bit of privacy. This was the one I checked out in Pompeii https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/10/14/47/8e/...

The ones at Sketch near me are funky https://live.staticflickr.com/881/42433327302_280548ddd2_b.j...

It is like satire. I wonder if he can try bullying the olympics into giving him a 100m gold medal next.

I'm not sure he gets AI very well. The people building it have always said there are risks. He bases the allegation they are lying mostly on not really understanding what he's talking about.

He does have a point that sales may slow as token maxing goes.

Under which legal system?

The money is mostly paid by companies wanting to find customers and the AI companies like OpenAi and Antropic don't provide much of that. The biggest competitor is probably Facebook who I'm not sure are really booming at the moment?

It reduces the risk if they have other investors. It's not really their core business and needs a lot of funding.

Nursing homes are a thing. It's not easy taking care of people at the end when they start falling over, needing toilet assistance and the like. Most of my elderly family had professional care at the end and it's an expensive business. I think £5k per week for my Aunt recently (now passed away).

Dunno. There's this https://wallhop.io/https://www.vox.com/xpress/2014/11/12/720...

it doesn't paywall for me

There are lots of ways to do the tech without a $0.10 fee. I think the issue is more the websites don't ask for that, probably because $10 a month in one easy annualised payment of $120 pays better.

I'm not sure if there's an actual website that did it? I've made micropayments for other things like PAYG phones and speculating on crypto.

If you look at the forensic evidence it seems more throttled with a wire by some other person.

I criticise organised religion but have never much associated it with gothic.

Blake's first mention of mills says "Get to thy Labours at the mills" which doesn't sound very church like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Milton_a...

I looked him up and funnily enough he lived in the same area I do. The majority the churches are not gothic eg. St Pauls.

Also he lived at a time when cotton mills were booming which do look kind of dark and satanic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_mill#Remodelling_and_ex...

A lot of the wealth generation can be productive. You start a company to cure cancer or something. It succeeds and the company is worth loads on paper although you don't buy any yachts or anything. Should you be eaten?

It's one of the things I think may be cool with AI robots when they get good at those. You should be able to build all sorts of fancy things.

There doesn't seem much mention of gothic in that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_did_those_feet_in_ancient_...

I was thinking more that general progress in AI may lead to competent AI lawyers doctors managers etc.

Humans chuck out a bunch of next words too. Intelligence is more if they are any good.

Machine intelligence?

>Things look about as good as they ever will.

That kind of assumes things are static and Anthropic won't get a first mover advantage in some new area. If you look at the recent progress in maths it seems unlikely AI has plateaued.

You can get a reasonable idea in the near term from the announcements of CATL and BYD who are building the things.

Like CATL announced a cost of $19 per kwh. https://electrek.co/2026/07/16/catl-sodium-ion-15000-cycle-g...

which I think is far cheaper than the prices in your links. I think they'll have a job going lower for a while as the raw materials are ~$10.

I think the actual cost to buy one now it more $40-60. The $19 is probably their target in a while.

If you spread $60 over 15000 cycles that's 0.4c per kwh stored and returned which is pretty cheap compared to what I pay for electicity (~$35c).

When I was in South Africa their pebble bed reactor was the thing. They were working on it from 1993 until 2009 then gave up. Not totally sure why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_Bed_Modular_Reactor

There was a German one too:

>constructed in 1960, grid connected in 1967 and shut down in 1988. It was a 15 MWe, 46 MWt test reactor used to develop and test a variety of fuels and machinery. ... Over its lifetime the reactor had many accidents, earning it the name "Shipwreck".

Not quite sure what goes wrong but they seem problematic.

Well some of them. You can always use another word for those. Socialist tends to get used. It's kind of funny how politics corrupts all terms from their original meaning.

I remember Japan's 5th gen language stuff in the 1980s. It was nothing like this.

Computer chess kept developing though even if it wasn't IBM doing it.

I'm interested in the immortality and anti aging stuff and it doesn't mean I'm terrified of dying. I'm probably pretty average that way.

I guess it's a question of perspective like I wiped out a bunch of bed bugs and I guess I'd be the evil destroyer from the bed bug perspective?

The word may be ill defined but it's a useful term for the current trend of right wing populist autocratic leaders.

I feel the whole Putin/Trump/Bolsonaro/Netanyahu fascist like schtick is wearing a bit thin with voters. Making <country> great again is running into military quagmires.

>the challenge is gone. I simply know that I can solve any engineering problem.

Well on with the fusion reactors, human Mars landers and the like if you can solve anything. I look forward to it.

Not surprised. I mean 3h 52m of moaning about Musk. Who's going to watch it?

I mean if they cut it to 1:30 of slagging Musk and threw in some jokes maybe.

If there's a 10 min highlights edit on youtube I'd likely watch it.

Apparent it's working again as of the evening of Oct 24th
