So I can actually think of a few reasons: Preprocessing vast amounts of super high resolution satellite imagery to save bandwidth, and jurisdictional black site processing data some countries would want to steal or arrest you for having or processing, particularly if you were hiding it from internal audit. You would be paying an extreme premium over ground based for ever FLOP, so, the customer base of practical customers is limited to a handful of very well funded intelligence agencies or scientific projects in very niche use cases.

The only way to get him out of the CEO chair is for him to retire or die. He never gave up voting control during the IPO and controls more than 50% of the vote.

Ok, but a cash register isnt a paywall. A paywall is a specific thing with an actual definition.

Yea but thats not what a paywall actually is.

More boots on the ground with a crumbling logistics footprint is not a winning offensive move. It can sort of work on a defensive footing, but without transportation, food, medical, fire support, etc its just a slowly shambling mass casualty event trying to take ground.

And not just the writing. So many of the second line characters that had been nothing but cardboard the whole series suddenly bloomed. I had really been questioning the ability of some of the performers on my first watch through, but it turns out it was a script/direction/production problem because they all suddenly came to life when the gloves came off.

We already had this, and it was the high point of Enterprise. https://youtu.be/sfbsZRbwbJ4

There are already AIs you can run on your computer or even your cell phone, they are just really really specialized or dumb.

Even if you could magically network every desktop, laptop, workstation and cell phone in the world and run them all full power 24 hours a day doing nothing but powering this network, you are probably an order of magnitude or more behind even current data center capacity.

Obviously that he is a very serious, well respected, and not crazy legal professional whos car just happens to be possessed by the spirit of Antifa or possibly Satan.

Its not even really an AI problem. Prior authorization is being used as a roadblock to reduce service. If AI starts magically making perfect judgements and returning a higher level of service, well thats more expensive and that just wont do. Theyll keep tweaking the AI behind the scenes until it approves as much as they want to pay for.

Partly, the Chinese are distilling closed source models, and OpenAI and Anthropic’s attempts to stop this have only succeeded in making their outputs less transparent. Partly, the actual frontier of AI is currently mostly vibes and marketing, as everyone’s cheated the tests so badly that the only way to stay in the running is to cheat. Partly, that weve passed the point where even an honest evaluator could say which general purpose model is better than another, since their performance fluxuates wildly from task to task.

This is probably one of the few issues you could really get grass roots bipartisan support on these days. It would have to be marketed right though. Maybe something like “DEI cameras”, or “6G posts”.

No, you have to go after the local politicians who keep approving these systems. Electorally of course, you psychos. Your local city council rep is going to feel much more pressure from an angry letter from a voter than your senator would.

Thats not true at all. The US is about 43%, and Qatar about 33%, Russia about 9%, and China less than 2%.

It depends on the ship, the crew and the attack itself. Fire is an absolutely huge danger on a ship, which means there are lots of countermeasures prepared, but also that its still a huge danger, and not many civilian ships are built anticipating that the bridge might explode without warning.

Its not easy to pierce a steel hull with a top down attack. Theyll burn and eventually founder, be towed back and rebuilt, or scrapped.

Many of them were veterans of a war against France. France was their ally at the time, but they wouldnt have any problem with the concept of shifting alliances and loyalties.

The solution is only time if market starts bubbling again, like it did after the last crash. Its also possible for asset prices to stagnate for decades, and its happened before.
