They're built on excluding competition.

App stores, like payment processors, have economies of scale in the sense that you need a critical mass of users to sign up for them and trust them with their payment info, so you're not going to have a thousand of them, but you could certainly have a dozen. At which point they would have to compete on things like fees and keep each other in check.

But not if each platform has only a single dominant payment processor.

Over RLAIF, which basically makes the model less diverse and being more and more like the seed content which they call "Constitution" in their papers. Seed content is available here[1]. You can clearly see it is awful and has no diversity in opinions and basically generated by a team who only knows of textbook definition of ethics.

Languages for "teaching kids how to code" tend to be either:

1. very visual/non-text (eg: scratch)

2. usability IDE/language tools (what this appears to be)

#1 is fine. But #2, these should be present in software the adults use. But it's not, which is an embarrassing indictment of our approach to computing. The fact that we don't have Victor-esque feedback by default in our IDEs is a blight.

Tangent: famously, in the US and much of the western world (for some reason... meaning Disney, mostly), the culture got it into its head that animations are cartoons which are exclusively "for kids", and if you watch animation, you're a kid. But in fact, there's nothing inherent about the medium of animation which necessarily makes it just "for kids", and another culture (Japan) which does not have that cultural assumption got some great art out of it (Anime).

It's weird what we decide is "for kids" and limit ourselves.

> stop ... acting like there's some optimal amount of ads

Why are you dismissing offhand the idea that there is an appropriate level of ads that users will feel is a fair trade for the content they're getting? You're just completely rejecting the idea that there's any middle ground at all. Why would it not be the case that some reasonable limits on ad volume, content, maliciousness, and total percent of time covered by ads, could restore some goodwill toward ads? People hate ads because ads are unbelievably fucking terribly awful. Ads are as awful as they could possibly be, and nobody seems to be making any effort to sit down and say "what if our ads weren't fucking awful tooth-pulling assaults on human reason and consciousness? What if we actually changed that?" Nobody is saying that, and people like you are simply dismissing the idea that it even matters.
From experience, no.

You are right about the costs and margins. However, a large portion of the cost disparity is because diesel fuel costs incorporate a lot of taxes to fund road maintenance. The electric costs do not, and I suspect that will have to change. Road maintenance funds will have to come from somewhere, and most states are reluctant to take from other tax areas.

Well, currently the sellers are the ones directly paying for the grid infrastructure.

It makes much more sense. They are the ones that can choose what part of the grid they plug on, and they are the ones choosing if they provide the service or not.
IMO buy and forget is a bad advice for new investors. It may work when DCA to index funds but in individual stocks it's not the best approach.
For me, my executive dysfunction makes one part MUCH more difficult than the rest: transitioning from one thing to another (especially if I have negative emotions attached to the other thing).

The 5 minutes (or even 30-60 minutes) is the EASY part. I have no problem with that. It's my brain screaming at me with every ounce of its energy that the effort of stopping what I am doing and starting something else is insurmountable. The length of the thing is mostly irrelevant.

It depends on how you see things. Some would argue, the SEC is good at doing business. Others would say that Binance will pay cause it's just the cost of doing business. Every trading / security / exchange company is in the same boat, they just have to keep paying to do their business.
I don’t know how good it is for the brain, but I put myself to exercise every single day even though most of the days I’m not in the mood. If I could be healthy or healthier without exercising, I’d very likely choose that. But I know that’s not possible, at least for me. Yet, I’ve been exercising for several years now without a break. I still don’t look forward to it. It’s not a lot. It’s just about 45 minutes a day. I just workout at home following video instructions (I get distracted or bored otherwise).

There are three things that made a difference: a) realizing that exercise can potentially make a positive difference to health [1] and that not exercising would turn out be a bigger waste of time in the future, b) getting an Apple Watch and closing the rings everyday [2], and workouts (with apps) on video by instructors so that I don’t get bored and keep looking at the time or figure out what exercises I should do. [3]

[1]: no guarantees because of complex factors like genetics, stress, environment, etc.

[2]: there was a brief period where the addiction to close the rings was done by just letting the watch be in workout mode without me working out, but that kind of lying to myself got boring too.

[3]: I know there are several programs with instructions and progressions that are freely available, but I get distracted and bored if I have to do something by myself and there’s no audiovisual guidance. I don’t like going to a gym either.
Yep - executive dysfunction is... difficult, you short circuit your mind in a strange loop of fighting yourself.
It's like writers block or when you try to go to sleep but can't and the harder you try the harder it feels. So it's... Difficult to even do things, even when you DO want to (I have been meaning to play solo board games I bought but ... just can't... My ADHD has gotten far worse over the years compared to my youth). I think people who don't have to deal with it don't understand what it's like.

There is nothing wrong with paying for a service you use.

If you are a normal techie. Ask yourself: How many hours will I spend circumventing this, then having to deal with when it breaks etc. Vs. paying the bill. For me, it was an easy call, and one I don't regret.
Beats me. Maybe they are too big to notice? Or don't care? I've done this more than once (and I don't take many Ubers). I end up paying less and the driver makes more money, so everyone is happy.
OpenAI just had to pause signups after demo day because of capacity issues. They also switched to making users pay in advance for usage instead of billing them after.

They must be much more efficient than both boats and hovercraft - they don't need to keep the air cushion, and they don't need to push their full tonnage away from their path - lift losses excepted, they must be equivalent to much smaller boats.

I would expect to see more of these as recreational vehicles, as they must be much cheaper to operate and, with recreational boats having a much lower duty cycle than, say, BEVs, solar recharging becomes attainable, as long as you keep the boat docked or anchored and charging for much longer than you use its propulsion.

> It's a bit like fearing magic spells in a world where nobody has demonstrated that magic exists.

I have some doubts about that analogy. Not that I entirely disagree with your point, and maybe I'm just being pedantic but... to me, "magic" pretty much by definition doesn't exist, because part of being "magic" is doing things that aren't allowed by known physical laws that govern the world we live in. IOW, magic hasn't just "not been demonstrated yet", but rather, unless we radically misunderstand the world we live in, cannot ever be demonstrated.

AGI, on the other hand, or arguably even ASI, doesn't violate any known physical laws, at least not any I'm aware of. So far we have evidence that at least human level general intelligence can be realized on top of a substrate (the human brain) that exists in the physical world. There doesn't see to be any particular reason to say that that same level of intelligence can't be realized on another substrate (stored program digital computers). Granted, it isn't known to have been done yet, but AFAIK it isn't generally considered outright impossible.
> simultaneously both that "the standard is not wrong, it can not possibly be wrong" and that "the standard should be improved".

I'm not the one saying that a standard cannot possibly be wrong. However, it is entirely coherent to say that a standard is not wrong and yet there is still room for it to be improved. "Not ideal" isn't the same as "wrong".

> And how do you improve standards anyway, without breaking compatibility?

Lots of ways, depending on what you think should be improved. In this case, you can improve it by adding a new set of functions that behave as you wish rather than altering the old functions in an incompatible way.

If it's not possible to improve a standard without maintaining backward compatibility, then the solution is to introduce a new standard entirely. One of the main points of even having a standard is that you can rely on it, and things you make that adhere to it will continue to work into the future.

The SEC and DOJ don't exist to stop crimes in real-time - that would be basically impossible. They exist to uncover and punish crimes that have already occurred in order to dissuade others from doing the same.

They appear to be doing a fine job of both. Or were you looking to prosecute thought crime?
I agree that the present culture of copyright litigation is not a to our credit. But I don't think the presented approach can improve that; although the authors themselves are lawyers, the approach suffers from a considerably more serious flaw than the ones I have mentioned so far; the primary problem is likely that the published melodies have been generated by an algorithm and are therefore not protected by copyright law, and thus neither in order to invoke a pre-existing work in legal proceedings. But the real problem from my humble point of view is the perversion of copyright law in order to appease corporations and publishers so that it can even be applied to individual melodies (i.e. ideas instead of works).
Agreed OpenAI products have a history of degrading in quality over time.

Enron is too canonical an example to ignore. Yes, it had all of these.

I sometimes use a Turing Tumble to demonstrate this: https://upperstory.com/turingtumble/

I've also had occasional success first convincing them they know how to add "mindlessly", by just manipulating symbols, and then explaining that we can have machines do it mindlessly, too. I don't use those words, ofc.

For example, you might ask them "Imagine you had a younger sibling who couldn't add. Maybe they didn't even know what numbers were. Could you teach them how to add by just telling them what symbols to write down as they looked through the symbols in the addition problem? Maybe there's an index card labeled '6+3' and on it is written '9'. You tell them to look for the correct index card and write down the corresponding symbol."

You can also explain binary to any interested student who is 13+ and then the idea that a machine can do it becomes a lot easier.

This video of Richard Feynman explaining how computers works is very good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKWGGDXe5MA

He uses a metaphor I've gotten a lot of mileage out of. Imagine you have a clerk who can add and multiply like a regular person. Now imagine there's someone else who knows only how to add and count, but have no idea what multiplication is.

If they can add and count fast enough, it'll look to an outsider like they not only know what multiplication is, but they can do any multiplication problem almost instantly.

Computers are like that: dumb but fast.

If they do something fast enough they give the illusion of "understanding", kind of like movies give the illusion of motion by swapping out still images fast enough.

It's not surprising that you would find a game boring if you've only played the first 10 minutes of it 50+ times, but you might enjoy it more if you stick some of those 10 minute sessions together and try getting past the tutorial.
> Is this question meant to be rhetorical, or are you genuinely asking?

It's a little of both to be honest. I disagree that their products are shit (in fact some of their products I think are really damn good), and I don't see how short of coercion with government or a private army or something that you could maintain a monopoly with products that suck.

But I genuinely think I might be missing something here. Maybe a better question is, how are they able to maintain their monopolies with shit products? Huge barriers to entry combined with quick acquisition of competitors? That's mostly how Rockefeller did it in the 19th century, but that's not a good parallel either because he didn't have a shit product.
I think peer pressure also plays a part. You want to be part of the majority in case things change, Sam comes back etc.

Actually going is a whole different thing. Why not go to Google or FB or Anthropic if you’re quitting anyway, and they can match the offer.
I'm not sure why you've assumed smart people aren't worried. I'm fairly certain Elon has discussed AI risks many times, and was in part why he left OpenAI.

Just speculation, but I imagine there is much less volatility in terms of fossil fuel policies. Fossil fuels (regretfully) have large and entrenched lobbyists who seem to get continued political support regardless of the office party. Contrast that to policies for/against renewables which have become a signaling mechanism.
There are multiple corporate entities that make up "OpenAI". See box diagram:

The non-profit 501(c)(3) entity doesn't have investors but they have a governing board that made decisions about the for-profit entity that severely degraded its equity value. Investors and employees are very upset about what the 501(c)(3) did.
The deeper the lifting surface the larger the waves can be. You need the waves to not have too much of an impact at their peak while the foil still being underwater at the trough. Unless the foils can extend and rectract[1], the depth of the lifting surface impacts minimum draft of the ship as well.
