Detroit Metal City is an incredible anime. It’s basically this good the entire time.

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.

Ah, that’s a piece of shit. God damn it.

My steam games are all installed on an external SSD so I can put those distractions out of reach. I can’t imagine ever going back.

Fifth columnists love FPTP. It minimises their workload.

Dude’s about as clever as frozen scallop.

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

The chussmasta

Mr. 4D Chess has gone straight to trading pawns.

The dream: releasing a scathingly cordial open letter to an oligarch that has a real chance of ruining their day.

Oh that’s easy, they secretly hook you up with someone really perfect for you, you have a great kid, and then the love of your life has a stroke and their personality does a 180°, tearing your whole dream family apart as the fey returns and offers to let you keep just one family member, and then you fail to realize the deal includes yourself and you’ve unwittingly sacrificed all your cognitive abilities and memories while your daughter’s life gets ruined as she spends her best years taking care of her madman father with no hope for a better life.
