> the US can't manufacture these chips as cheaply as Asia

Chip fabrication isn't heavily dependent on labor costs. Can they really not be made about as cheaply, or have we just chosen not to do it because the odd penny here and there has been considered a sufficient savings?

That's because the US makes its energy via burning natural gas. Better than coal but still not good.

I just asked ChatGPT to answer this same question, the answer was much better than this hack article.

Can't read due to paywall, but lemme dog pile on the CEOs giving the sad talk to their employees. Fuck those guys.

Won't someone please think of the poor celebrities?!

Nah because it's been a busy day and you're delusional.

I'll take some of that and plop my ass on the couch...

On my Android phone I noticed my pictures were being automatically tagged. Scenery, Vehicles, Beach, Food, Animals, etc. And they were accurately tagged. I didn't tag them or upload them anywhere. Clearly my phone is scanning my pictures using some sort of recognition software.

On the one hand, we are definitely on the edge of a world where anything can be faked. On the other hand, we've been down this road before: Photoshop, "realistic" CGI, dodging and burning pinup prints, the fairy photograph hoaxes of the early 1900s, etc. We learn and adapt to changes incrementally, not everyone and not all at once, but we get there eventually. And let's be honest, misinformation has been in place in the media for years - the sinking of the Lusitania was completely fabricated to create justification for war, way before anyone had AI or Photoshop. It all comes down to who the source is and their credibility, has been since the dawn of the written word.

(But tbf, I'm in an industry that will be hit hard by AI so I understand the panic!)

Steven Rattner doesn’t “go to an office”

he HAS an office he goes to when he’s not making studio appearances and speaking on stage

Rattner, and his ilk, issue is that when they do bother to show up to the office there isn’t a bunch of “minions” running around all impressed they decided to ”drop by” and “grace” the workers with their presence

So here's the thing, corporations were granted personhood but really anything they created is ai right. Because it's property of the Corp not an actual human?

996 policy is my selling point of what NOT to expect when I hire people in Beijing. I’ve hired five people so far that came from this type of org and they are so happy that I have kept my promise. These assholes (CEOs) have not worked a forty hour week in a long time. I’m not taking anything away from them with their success but we can’t all be billionaires and CEOs. Most of us just want to live a happy balanced life.

We absolutely have a neo feudal aristocracy.

No you see it’s a good thing because we hate TikTok and China so it’s just a nessecary evil /s

Restaurants are fine. They’ve adapted to delivery services.

>Models from Tesla Motors, which leads the market in EV sales, continue to have issues with body hardware, steering and suspension, paint and trim and climate system. The Model 3 has average reliability, while other Telsa models – including the S, Y and X – are below average.

As I said. Fit and finish sucks on a Tesla. Right from CR.

Not a surprise. I have two laptops: one is a fairly recent Core i7 with all the bells and whistles. The other is a Core 2 Duo with next to nothing. Amazingly, or not, some games play better on it than on the super computer on your lap(top).

I mean down the road you could have your phone/device whatever live coding new things to help you without you ever having to know a line of code. The future could be pretty fucking wild if people take advantage.

".....okay... you're already crying....could you go cry outside in your kia? Catering needs to come in here and start setting up our exec lunch"

Ironically, the higher their pay scale the less they are in the office, in my experience. So they have their cake and eat it too.

More like "bite the pillow, we're going in dry". BOHICA.

That's what kills me. Who's handing over biometric data to fucking Panera? That risk-reward equation doesn't compute.

That's not saying nearly as much as it used to since most coal plants have been closed down over the last 15 years.

It's pretty simple; the US can't manufacture these chips as cheaply as Asia. So you either have to commit to tens of billions in subsidies a year ad infinitum or accept that the production will all end up overseas.
