What kind of question is that? Without knowing anything about the person's geography or local cost of solar, how can you make such a bold assessment of affordability? I live in New Zealand where the capital cost of solar is very expensive and the climate is OK-not-great for solar generation. Even at 30c/kwh the payback (without batteries) is still 15 to 20 years. Not an obvious choice, especially as the capital cost is still declining.

Which traffic laws are you proposing copying? I'm having a hard time understanding how larger fines can lead to less congestion.

Remind me never to come to HN for business advice, this is dire reasoning.

Why do you think it's a space company? SpaceX didn't even define ITSELF as a space company in its IPO filing.

Weird perspective. When I was a kid (I'm 41) we were given sets - pirate ship, submarine, police sets. They were designed as a kit... and once we built the kid we'd pull it apart and use the parts for all sorts of things. Now my kids do they very same thing with modern kits. I'm not sure why you think today's lego is different?

How can you know that without even hearing it?

A major retailer in my country had to recall thousands of units of kids kinetic sand because it contained asbestos. Are you saying we'd be better off had they not been made to recall these? Or that we'd be worse off had there been more regulation preventing kids from inhaling asbestos in the first place?

Like the music being described literally in the thread you're responding to.

If only there were a recent global event that shut down supply chains from which we could have drawn these lessons.

>2. Originality matters more than ever. By design, these tools can only copy and mix things that already exist. But they aren't alive, they don't live in the world and have experiences, and they can't create something truly new.

How can you say this? These models can trivially create things that have never existed, and you can easily test this yourself.

As opposed to VC owners, who are famously satisfied with slow growth. Right?

I don't see why any AI company would ever be "too big to fail". I can't see why any government would be motivated to take the political hit of bailing them out.

At $14b revenue Anthropic is likely running a HUGE loss on their P&L.

Interesting that you consider the most cutting edge technology in the category to be "the easiest layups".

Surely you don't believe that, given a random sample of 20 people, 19 of them will be amoral, selfish, and have no values? Surely this doesn't align with your real life experience - what are your colleagues, friends, family, neighbours and acquaintances like? Do they meet this ratio?

When someone has a complete lack of values like this, it always makes me wonder what their upbringing was like.

All you have to do is respect the law and respect your customers. Absolutely the most basic thing we can ask of a new business.

I dont think Waymo is interested in using a video of their car striking a child as marketing.
