Oh no.

That is… hilarious.

I don’t know how one man can think he can do the output of 20% of his engineers.

We aren’t going to see another model Tesla after this are we?

I know many people will shit on Kaiser for being a health insurance company, but as a person who has work through Cigna, UHC, Humana, Kaiser was the only health insurance that I felt people were being helped, had access to that help. With no hassles.

It’s a fucked up system, but kaiser was one of the few I would take a slap for. Everyone else can get shit on.

Thank you

Technically $56 billion.

Or in job terms, 466,667 jobs that pay $120,000 a year.

I couldn’t imagine being a software engineer for Telsa, pouring your heart and soul into making a good product.

And in your bosses’ drunken haze, gets to make an ass of himself on the world stage and get paid 1,000,000,000x your salary to do it.

Lose advertising investors, lose quality and face on the products you have to build. Still gets to be CEO of three failing companies

But your job is the one that gets canned to save the stock price.

Edit: loose

Why on earth do they have a monthly subscription on something people maybe use once every 1 or two years?

Who is actually going to pay a netflix sub to see marginally bad data that often?

Like Netflix I understand if you cannot help yourself.

But is there a band of computer nerds out there, that I don’t know about, that want play by play updates on how a graphics card is preforming compared to others? On a monthly basis?

Oh no! My outdated political takes and league of legends rants are going to be used to train AI!?

We’re all doomed!

The findings, based on interviews with 4,702 company chiefs spread across 105 countries, point to the far-reaching impacts that AI models are expected to have on economies and societies, a topic that will feature prominently at the annual meetings.

Once you start digging into the article it is quite hysterical what executives think a predictive chat model are going to replace. It reads more like a wish list then anything else.

But they expect AI to replace transportation, Tesla and General Motors are not having any success with this… yet. There appears to be a bandwidth issue that isn’t going to be solved until the US upgrades to fiber.

Boston dynamics are having a lot of success with their robots of late. Everyone else is stuck still getting robots to stack boxes. Which is also having it’s problems with bandwidth. And apparently logic issues.

They also expect things like Energy and power/utilities to be replaced by AI. And that is just dumb. Automation has already swept through the power sector, and AI is not going to help with much else, unless it is going to start repairing power lines, transformers, or the regular substation.

Above all, this is not taking into account the new jobs this also creates. People will need to repair and troubleshoot equipment at multiple layers.

What is also absent from the article is the executive jobs AI will also replace. Once AI can view things at multiple levels. True, you don’t need the average worker anymore. But you don’t need someone that is just collecting a paycheck, do you? If AI will be programed to replace redundancies, then it won’t only find those at lower levels.

Agreed, there is a bit of hubris in my argument

However, I don’t think it matters either way because China has the information, so it’s more about likelihood of replication.

Which I would say, China has the best chance of replicating that.

But just because you copied someone else’s homework doesn’t mean you understand it, or that it was even helpful to understanding the sum of the whole.

Don’t get me wrong, this data breach is terrible, but the only way this is a death sentence for the Dutch is if China got a 1:1 schematic and build process of the chips, including material composition.

Which I don’t think they have.

However, even though it confirmed the theft of its intellectual property, NXP says that the breach did not result in material damage — saying that the data stolen is complex enough that it can’t be easily used to replicate designs. As such, the company didn’t see the need to inform the general public, reports NRC.

Looks like China got to peak at the Dutch’s homework. However, that isn’t going to do much good if China doesn’t know how the Dutch got to that solution. However, I have no doubt it is just a matter of time and resources.

Also, it is unclear if the information that was taken was helpful at all. I doubt they had full schematics of next gen chips lying around. It also sounds like there is another layer of security they feel hasn’t been breached. Which is good for the most part because it means the information has knowledge layers that have to be understood first for the manufacturing process.

Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company.

Accountants are about to be out of a job.

In all seriousness though, it just means the tools we have will become more precise, so you can dig though a company’s financials within seconds and know where irregularities lie.

Which is great news for the IRS. If they could get their hands on that setup.

Which is also bad news if you are a stock trader and an AI just took your job.

Which is a crazy idea to think about…
Who had capitalist AI overloads on their apocalypse bingo card?

Covering APIs, AI-driven translators and other tools based on their proprietary large language model, it is already collaborating with some of the best-known experts in the field, including at AI21 Labs, Google, and Microsoft.

Imagine AI being able to instantly check whether a post violates the terms of service (TOS) of the specific platform where it’s made.

Imagine the ability to report said post on the spot.

And if it doesn’t violate the TOS, to instantly generate the best counterargument?

Kind of a weird apocalyptic way to kick humans off the internet:

When online opinions no longer matter because, he who has the strongest computer, will have the best AI. Which will also have the best public opinion(s).

At that point, only places where people can confirm you are a real human will matter.

If you build it they will come.

Focus on making your communities great, having great conversations, seeing something from a different lens. People like Steven King hang out in great places, so focus on making this a great place to visit.

Folks he is conning
Call themselves wolves, march like sheep
I do pity fools.

Ignore Elon, embrace Haiku!

They are probably hitting people in waves, in an effort to make sure this isn’t a surge, then a massive protest like the Unity situation.

But once google realizes they’ll have to burn serious money and make their product worse on the global stage to fix the problem, they’ll quit just like Microsoft, AOL, and Netscape.

But I think this campaign is just there to loosen the people who installed an ad-block, but have no idea what an ad-block is.

Which will be different from the people who know about “alternate methods,” and will easily slip the google net unnoticed.

The understandable difference being that a gun has but one purpose: Kill people.

Whereas everything else I have mentioned, including 3d printers are multi-purpose. Not intended to kill, but to serve multiple roles.

Though, it is a good point that few devices could be cobbled together to make infinite guns so long as you had material. So I am not saying it isn’t a class of it’s own, just where does the logic end with that point?

Is it only legal for a company to print guns? How does a license alone protect people? I don’t think that is something I could answer.

A surprising enlightening read. Thank you for sharing.

I think some people would say the ability to print a gun is more deadly then a knife.

But I kind of agree with you.

If we start licensing people to own stuff that has the potential to do harm, then eventually you are going to run into a never ending list of household items and laws of natural physics:

• Bleach
• Vinegar
• Salt
• Sugar
• Chlorine
• Gas
• Natural gas
• Methane
• Fertilizers
• Electricity
• Paper
• Fire
• Propane
• Etc.
