Lol. I never said they are the same, only that both are liars, which you apparently took as a reason to think that I said they are the same. How stupid are you?
How did you come to that conclusion? The whole post is about Ross. And my comment about that all politicians are liars, including your favorite one. You’re not very bright.
That’s cute, Americans talking about privilege while their military industrial complex wages forever wars and their financial imperialism squeezes the entire world.
China did exactly what the western politicians wanted, companies have outsourced production there to make more profits and politicians and investors got rich. Still hasn’t changed, politicians want to get rich and reelected, not govern well.
At least they’re honest about it. Republicans and Democrats will both do it, it’s the only way to ever repay the debt and not get crushed by interest payments. Goodbye world reserve currency, you had a good run, you fucked it up.
I consider the US not capitalist because the most important component of the economy, money, is centrally planned by a small committee of insiders. Broken money leads to broken markets. I’d be ok with calling it crony capitalism.
Yup, it was clear from his policies that prices would go up initially, this is not surprising. The question remains if things will improve in the long run, and the article says that inflation is slowing, which was the goal. You just said it went 25->20->14, seems too early to judge where this goes.
The financial system is self-reinforcing, it was created by politicians so that they could do debt financed popular things, then the banks and rich could exploit that system for their own benefit and in turn fund politicians who keep the system running.
This is how tech people often think because they don’t understand economics and the value bitcoin provides. Bitcoin was distributed fairly, is stable, is scarce, and most importantly, is decentralized. Probably all “programmable” shitcoins have zero of those properties and the market reflects that.
Yet another “brilliant” scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)
If you think “crypto” people came up with this I have bad news for you, spamming is as old as the internet, and adding ads to repos is not new. Btw, “cryptobro” is a sexist term that excludes women.
Speaking at a Bloomberg event on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Altman said the silver lining is that more climate-friendly sources of energy, particularly nuclear fusion or cheaper solar power and storage, are the way forward for AI....
Right, surely the energy intensive AIs will make the world invest in climate-friendly energy instead of just burning more fossil fuels as they always did.
You linked to the article but didn’t read this part?
In 2021, Altman personally provided $375 million to private U.S. nuclear fusion company Helion Energy, which since has signed a deal to provide energy to Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab in future years. Microsoft is OpenAI’s biggest financial backer and provides it computing resources for AI. Altman said he wished the world would embrace nuclear fission as an energy source as well.
