It’s why Google is secretly in big trouble. Their biggest and most successful ideas were from well over a decade ago. There’s very little real innovation going on at Google now. They’re just throwing crap at a wall and hoping something sticks. Eventually, their cash cows will dry up and they won’t have anything to fall back on.

This is also known as "Libertarian Socialism." Interestingly enough, this idea predates the current definition of Libertarianism by decades.

 

The NHTSA is probing Google-supported Waymo regarding crashes caused by its driverless taxi program and underperforming self-driving tech.

A lot of them were "disappointed" when the estimated death toll got reduced. That tells us who those people really are. Very likely, they're Russia bots that are using the events in Gaza as a distraction to their war in Ukraine.

It's also why there's no way Google can sustain these numbers. They pay workers like a random startup, just without any possibility of striking it rich on stock options. They are likely to be hemorrhaging talent at all engineering positions.

Eventually, we will need a fediverse version of StackOverflow, Quora, etc.

 

AI’s voracious need for computing power is threatening to overwhelm energy sources, requiring the industry to change its approach to the technology, according to Arm Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas.

I'm of the opinion that it will require human interaction to fix this. It can't be purely solved via algorithms.

What people don't realize is that the original Google search algorithm, PageRank, effectively looks at how real humans interacted with the websites they were indexing. Only websites referenced by other websites were being considered by Google's search engine. And at the time, that meant real human beings were making those links. This gave them a real advantage over other, purely algorithmic search engines.

Something like this will have to be recreated. We will have to figure out a way of prioritizing search results that real human beings have found to be useful.

I've basically blocked all meme communities.

Google will have to resort to human curation of search results at some point.

Utopias are impossible. The name itself literally means “no place,” as in it couldn’t exist.

The company is pretty much a big scam. There’s a reason why Moskovitz calls it the next Enron. Musk would turn it into a crypto company if he thought it would pump up the stock more. As a result, the actual business side of Tesla doesn’t really need to work.

There are very few real communists left. On here, it’s going to be pretty much all tankies.
