Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Least competent black president vs. most authoritarian white president and it isn’t even a contest

This made me laugh so hard I reverse aged six weeks

Let’s not fight, it’s bad for everyone to have a world class predator unleashed into a toxic and hostile ecosystem.

Didn’t kill em though

Mental note to never buy Hopetown.

It’s a reasonable concern, but let’s be honest - so is the concentration of chipset manufacturing in Taiwan.

You ever hear that joke about goth culture being a recession indicator? I think they’re going to have to start taking that seriously if these stocks don’t bounce back. They might have to announce Barbie 2 or …something… Polly Pocket?

Goth girls are gaining. Can’t wait to tell the missus.

What’s your fave?

“Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it’s probably shit.”

Can confirm.

I think it would make more sense to have good journalism and honest coverage of markets, and an informed, financially literate populace. While I’m at it I want a pony who cleans the dishes and shits sunglasses.

Oh, nobody thinks what we have now is AGI. Not even the AI thinks it’s AGI. It’s just a words firehose being hyped to hell and gone because billionaires are so excited to fire their employees that they’re jumping the gun.

I’ve read a couple of his books, and he’s been developing a theory of human intelligence with the express goal of creating true AGI. His Thousand Brains book espouses a theory I find just about credible and, perhaps eventually, actionable.

It’s all to do with cortical columns working in parallel on a pseudo-voting type of system. If at some point he says “we know how to make AGI now, but we’re going to need really good GPUs”, I will find that credible based on having read his work.

As to genuine AI needing better GPUs, I’ll believe it when Jeff Hawkins says it’s so.

Pretty typical that the only ones to suffer any lasting harm will be the longs and shorts who weren’t first to act.

The thing about market cap is that it’s kinda not real. You think Rivian was ever worth 130 billion dollars, for example? Nah.

Nvidia has only lost about the last three months of stock gains. It’s quite bad, and they’ll cry, but they’ll be fine in the long term.

I didn’t plan on buying this, but now I extra don’t.

Wishing them luck. I love all their work so far, I don’t mind games that size at all.
