> I'm surprised to see so little coverage of AI legislation news here tbh.

Because no one believes these laws or bills or acts or whatever will be enforced.

But I actually believe they'll be. In the worst way possible: honest players will be punished disproportionally.

This

I still regularly see job posting with no salary here in nyc. Never heard of any enforcement

Google has been doing more R&D and internal deployment of AI and less trying to sell it as a product. IMHO that difference in focus makes a huge difference. I used to think their early work on self-driving cars was primarily to support Street View in thier maps.

Google and OpenAI are both taking very big gambles with AI, with an eye towards 2036 not 2026. As are many others, but them in particular.

It'll be interesting to see which pays off and which becomes Quibi

I'd be curious to know if this trend is unique to tech and the last 30 years

Or if you'd find it in previous industries that have had a huge influx of VC-like investors funding companies with the hope they'll at some point in the future be profitable.

So we've moved on from blaming ZIRP and the pandemic to blaming AI?

Could have sworn I saw folks blaming the Amazon layoffs on the pandemic still yesterday

Is this just a hidden way to raise money without calling it another round? An effort to avoid the appearance that you are burning way tooo quickly with added bonus of making employees happy and attracting talent?

What stops founders, major investors, or even the company itself from selling shares in a tender offer and reinvesting it back in the company?

Or, to put it another way, is the rise in tender offers actually a indication we're getting closer to the bubble bursting?

Without having access to the source code we can only speculate but I believe even in those days YouTube already outgrew vertical scaling and thus had to be built as a horizontally-scalable system. That is the hard part.

Adding extra nodes to an existing horizontally-scalable system (that has already been operating and has its bugs ironed out) is much easier.

Its a different skill set. And if its not one that you have or are interested in then it makes for a great time to exit.

> Software is never "finished"

Software may never be finished (in your opinion) but the budget of any customer is finite. If you keep reinvesting your revenue forever into "engineering" the product there's going to be a time where a competitor comes in with a finished product matching your customers' requirements and snatches him from you by both charging less and making a profit.

Not if you find new ways to appeal to them once you have them as users.

The search engine markets is finite, so Alphabet expanded elsewhere

As they say about bankruptcy. First it happens slowly then quickly.

I suspect were about to see that pivot

Why is polymarket any more or less dangerous than NFTs or naked option trading?
