  • If gigantic amounts of capital weren't available, then the focus would be on improving the models so they don't need GPU farms running off nuclear reactors plus the sum total of all posts on the Internet ever.

  • Both AI and social media are a shit show because it's owned by a few people.

    Unironically, the best social media is Fetlife. Not that it's perfect by any means--not by far--but it is designed to facilitate bringing people together.

  • The delusional maniacs are going to be surprised when they ask the Super AI "how do we solve global warming?" and the answer is "build lots of solar, wind, and storage, and change infrastructure in cities to support walking, biking, and public transportation".

  • They're popular in Wisconsin and Wisconsin-adjecent states. If I didn't know the details, I would prefer to go to a local chain over Home Depot or Lowes or whatever, but, yeah.

  • If they use original art, no, even if the characters are owned by a company.

    It may be trademark infringement, however. Depends on how close you get. See Spirt Halloween costumes for examples.

  • Cholula is my go-to sauce that I can get anywhere for cheap. If I can get it, Blair's Original Death Sauce is the way to go.

  • You'd have to eat a lot of pure cap to kill you. Oral LD50 in mice is 47.2 mg/kg (source). For an 80 kg person, that's 3780 mg of pure cap. 1000mg of pure cap dropped into a pot of chili would be inedibly hot even to the most hardcore spicy food fan.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

  • Prices tend to come down on these things simply because the car industry widely adopts them. For example, accelerometers became cheap because they were needed for air bags. LIDAR might not come down as much as those have, but it won't be tens of thousands of dollars.

  • LIDAR generally works better at relatively short distances (like less than a km). Several other car companies are going with LIDAR and do alright. Musk thinks cameras with image recognition would be sufficient without anything else. It goes without saying that Musk is very wrong.

  • Worse than that; if you have flexible ethics, there are some easy ways to make money while being an idiot.

    My wife and I wondered if there was a way to fixup houses and sell them in a way that actually did quality work while netting a decent profit to be worth the time and effort. Our conclusion was that while you might be able to find an opportunity here or there, it would only be enough for occasional side income. If you wanted to make it a job and have piles of money, you almost have to cut all the corners to make it profitable at all. Shitty house flippers have flooded the supply, and it's created a Market for Lemons situation where buyers have to assume it's done badly and price it accordingly.
