A senior executive at Microsoft believes AI systems built on the work of others will be seen as “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and possibly the greatest robbery of labor in human history, according to court documents unredacted Thursday in an ongoing lawsuit.

I've bored on before about my view that the hidden assumption of the Left is that economics is bad and nasty, therefore the worse and nastier you're being, the better economics you're doing. The worst boss is always a squishy liberal acting how she thinks a hard nosed capitalist would.

Under-discussed (is that even possible on here?) is that Andreessen, Thiel, et al really REALLY want to be seen as grandiose “builders” in the real world and the total building they have done amounts to funding a bunch of scam SMR startups and failing to manage a mixed use real estate development.

We have media systems that aim to provoke 'engagement' while people are primarily doing something else altogether, and provoke/reward feedback and communication over attention. Feel like 'attention' is like 'commodity', a fetish that needs treating with a little more suspicion

Always surprising to me that these people never think to check before shooting off their yaps. NYC was the main immigration center for the US for 2 centuries. It had more than 40% foreign-born residents from 1850-1900 and more than 35% for the next couple decades. www.nyc.gov/assets/plann...

Post on Twitter by pundit Matt Walsh from June 25: "40 percent of New York City's population is foreign born. Not just second and third generation immigrants. Foreign born. Almost half the city wasn't born in this country. NYC isn't an American city anymore by any reasonable definition of the term. It's a tragedy and a disgrace."

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

FWIW an 18% drop implies a 34% drop for SpaceX (if we assume the rest of DXYZ is performing about the same as the NASDAQ 100 which is basically fair I think)
