Not sure I understand, but all I know is this dude has been an unhinged actor for a long time - and now he's on an Anti-Christ tour?

I take him even less seriously than Andreessen, Karp and Musk. Unfortunately they have more money than God, so they get attention and acolytes.

Prefer Grok for what exactly?

Right. This compute still being powered by an illegal amount of gas turbines in a residential neighborhood?

Claude is eating so much compute, the threat of that power being tuned down by lawsuit (rightfully) is worth the risk to Anthropic in the short-term. Instead of declaring "bubble", I'm just going to say that's so crazy.

Yes. Both me-south-1 and me-central-1 have been _heavily_ impacted/disrupted for nearly a month now due to drone strikes on infra.

Nice. Do you just use your 5 as a stationary iPod, or do you dual-carry with a modern device as well? Curious on if you also use it to wi-fi the web on your local LAN periodically too, of it that was just a periodic test to check if HN worked.

Glorious. This must be what is like when old people long for the hot car they lusted for in their youth.

Super glad to hear this. I absolutely do not want to be a member of any private club these people are a part of.

I have so many conflicting thoughts that I cannot properly articulate yet. I can say though, this is not going to end well for most, it is clumsily premeditated and starting to feel like dude is just trying to be a Neal Stephenson character.

There is always going to be an intersection between tech and politics. This convo is no different than talking about Section 230, H1B visas or using vision models to sexualize people or distort the truth.

I'm not educated enough in this area to have any expertise, however, in my personal experience leaving a lithium-ion battery plugged all the time results in scary semi-exploded batteries that also stop working.

Would you say this is a chemistry/QA problem? Have there been advances in battery / controller technology that achieves the above?
