You clearly want the economy to collapse. The bailout will actually be profitable for the government. /s

If LLMs fail and they invested: bailout

If LLMs succeed and they invested: rich

If LLMs fail and they passed: everyone else bailed out

If LLMs succeed and they passed: out of business

Therefore, the logical choice for a business is to invest in LLMs. The only mechanism to not do the stupid thing that everyone else is doing is gone.

He’s still checking it because we’re acting like it’s still the Twitter we knew.

If you can’t tell the difference in quality between slop and Oscar-winning art, then you’re making the AI bro argument for them.

Another great example of this being an economic rent problem.

Namecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, but never caught on because it’s >99% domain name squatters. There’s no mechanism to increase the cost of renewal to anything proportional to the value of the name, so they always renew for practically free. Consequently there’s no incentive for web browsers to support it.

A domain name is like a plot of land. Right now our choices are crony capitalist ICANN with eminent domain, anarcho-capitalist crypto DNS, or sailing the high seas on an .onion address.

Disney+, so we can poison your wife in exchange for slop videos.

That’s not how the legal system works anymore. Only the rich will be protected, the poor will be constrained.

Me too 😭

In context I think they mean morally

Surely FIFA fans won’t put up with an incredibly oppressive country

Americans are incapable of thinking that far ahead. They will literally scoff at any foresight, like the future is unknowable.

It wasn’t

Sorry if I’m getting whooshed, but Krugman is an infamous economist. He takes really big swings and is sometimes incredibly wrong.

Just a third party observation. It looked like you were trying to make a serious point. Then the other guy disagreed, so you made a joke to imply how his point was either wrong or irrelevant or something. So then he provided the source.

So it looks like his disagreement was valid, and you’re using the “lol I was just joking bro” defense. But it doesn’t even work as a joke if you’re just being sarcastic and wrong.

What do you mean, they already shot Trump’s ear and Kirk’s neck.

I’d like to call this “the Ubuntu buffer”.

It’s really nice of them to fight the good fight while I use Jellyfin instead.

I would count on them being hypocritical. The rich will just use Starlink.

If they’re billing in Monero, then I have to wonder if this machine does funner things than just cleaning you.
