Most large scale open source projects at this point are funded by somebody. usually because they have benefit to an enterprise somewhere. But I don’t know if an alternative browser really provides much enterprise support anywhere, sadly.

Probably the $500 million or so that Google pays them every year

It better be with all that gold coming out of it

Damn, I’m being hung up on all the technicalities. “I think it’s more likely that, in my lifetime, I would randomly shit out a pure Royal Canadian Mint 1 kilo 99.99% gold bar in its entirety before the US Supreme Court would nationalize any company”

Sorry, should have specified “a realistic way to legally…” I think I would shit out actual gold before the Supreme Court voted to nationalize anything, much less spacex

I wish we had a legal way to force musk out of spacex. I want spacex to succeed, I think it’s in our nature as humans to want to explore beyond our own planet. I don’t think it should be under private control of fascist billionaires with the interests of building feudalist space colonies

She’s most unfit for all of them. But let’s see her get appointed

On January 14, 2019, Loomer convinced several men she met in a Home Depot parking lot, who she claimed were undocumented, to jump the fence with her at Nancy Pelosi’s Napa, California, home. The group set up a tent on Pelosi’s lawn to protest immigration before being removed by police. They were not arrested.

Honestly the dems hosting a “mock debate” like this would be incredible. Release it as a YouTube video comedy partnership or something. Even better if has a great Donald Trump impersonator

Idk based on her actions it would not surprise me in the least if she’s sucking on that spray tan for a cabinet position

Or creating AI generated images of said artists pretending that they are supporting him

sir, close your trenchcoat, we’re talking about documents here

Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.

But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere

This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them

Yeah we are on the precipice of a massive bubble about to burst because, like the dot com bubble magic promises are being made by and to people who don’t understand the tech as if it is some magic that will net incredible profits just by pursuing it. LLMs have great applications in specific things, but they are being thrown in every direction to see where they will stick and the magic payoff will come

I think the idea is that every company is dumping money into LLMs and no other form of alternative AI development to the point that all AI research is LLM based and therefore to investors and those involved, it’s effectively the only only avenue to AGI, though that’s likely not true

Right and all the dogs in the race are now focused on neural networks and llms, which means for now, all the effort could be focused on a dead end. Because of the way capitalism is driving AI research, other avenues of AI research have almost effectively halted, so it will take the current AI bubble to pop before alternative research ramps up again
