The older I get, the less interested I am in seeing big bands. I'm lucky to live in an area with a great local music scene, plenty of independent venues.
I can't think of a single band I'd pay these extortionate prices for, I'd much rather support a local band and local venue.
I don't think we necessarily disagree. I am pessimistic about laws being effective in this case, but that doesn't mean we should not try to find ones that are. I like your idea. Thinking and trials in that direction would be good.
Data using organisations often seem to prefer fig-leaf laws that aren't effective, and lobby against ones that might be effective. "My data use is a good use, therefore I should not be subject to restrictions and oversight". Instead, anyone with a use of data which is valuable to the public should not see themselves as on the same side as the advertisers and surveillance vendors. They should see themselves as on the opposite side.
The point is to show off how smart Stephen Wolfram is, which is the point—these days—of just about anything Stephen Wolfram does. His galaxy brain has transcended the mere proving of theorems, and has moved into discovering/inventing entirely new fields of study for all the lesser academics to prove theorems in (as suggested by the title of his magnum opus, A New Kind of Science). You're welcome!
When The Big Bang Theory came out, I thought the character of Sheldon Cooper was intended, specifically, to be a parody of Wolfram himself. That's how off the rails he's become due to sheer hubris.
I bashed out a dashboard for myself the other month, monitors firewall alerts/warnings/shows connected devices, process monitors on a few pc's that I keep an eye on, a to-do list/calendar combination that let's me track some internal tasks I need to do weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc, oh and it pings cloudflare to keep me up to date on the website stats. And an Amidakuji game to help me and another staff member pick who's doing X task that day :P
Nothing major, and only works with my infra, but it saves me a few minutes a few times a day to just be able to check the tab, and if there's an alert load up the full stats page.
The compute is useless if nobody is left to pay for the compute, once all the AI companies die, from all that debt getting called in, once everyone realizes it's a scam. (AI isn't a scam, but the financial deals and promises of unrealistic recoupment are)
This was so profound. Now that I think of it there is nobody to watch the watcher and we should just dismantle society and let the local warlords sort out the crime rate. /s
> This is why I think OpenAI and Anthropic should really be one company
I think the more companies there are, the better. Having 3 top labs competing, with 2 more trailing is better for consumers than having a monopoly/duopoly in goog or goog vs. the world. There'll be pressure on innovation, cost, availability and so on.
That robot will of course be transmitting 24/7 video and audio to the mothership and be fully remotely controllable, and its corporate overlord will be able to override any programming you give it. Of course, "to enhance your customer experience".
No amount of money in the world would convince me to allow such a monster in my house.
I've been trying to make a comprehensive trading platform for crypto - with different verticals like DeFi and CEX. Why so? Because there are more libraries like ccxt to get data to analyse - rather than for the Forex and funds
I made a timesheet entry, invoicing, and basic bookkeeping system for my freelance business. It works pretty well, I used "spec driven development" with Codex and it one-shot the entire application except for the PDF invoice layout which needed iteration.
We all also know they know they will be absolutely ravaged in the next GE, at the scale of the Tories.
The question - why hand that to Farage and his far right? Is Keir Starmer a far right operative in Labour? His track revord would suggest so, but do we have any receipts?
When the music stops, all the AI companies fall, except Google. Google remains the world's largest advertiser and a cloud provider. They actually make money, own their own hardware, etc. They can survive a stock market bust and still come out victorious, because they still have a product people want to buy (ads). The rest don't.
Everyone can have their own “view” into the data
