I love this. It speaks to me in a similar ways as a lot of the AI zeitgeist—why shouldn’t we optimize for how the brain actually operates at scale versus hundreds-years-old ideas about ligatures designed for reading in candlelight? (In the AI case, a romanticism for having to learn and prove memory in such a rote way)

A little of a tangent, but I always thought it’d be cool to have certain libraries printed out in very high quality as posters. Redux was one example in particular—something very concise yet powerful and kind of worth admiring to that extent.

Intel as a store of value?

It’s easy to be cynical specifically in this case, when Elon has in the past very gleefully amplified AI fakes to drum up social sentiment
With all the lensing going on out there, is it possible for us to observe the light from our sun (and potentially our planet) billions of years ago?
A cool achievement would be, observe the moon/earth separation event(s)
I thought one of the issues with potatoes is that they have a really high glycemic index, not lack of nutrients.
So consistently eating a lot of them increases one's risk of Type 2 diabetes.
This is true. Most of the potatoes eaten are valuable in caloric-deprived situations, but they are not a long-term healthy food due to the thrashing they do to insulin management.

These figures are for a very small number of potential people. This leaves out that frontier AI is being developed by an incredibly small number of extremely smart people who have migrated between big tech, frontier AI, and others.
Yes, the figures are nuts. But compare them to F1 or soccer salaries for top athletes. A single big name can drive billions in that context at least, and much more in the context of AI. $50M-$100M/year, particularly when some or most is stock, is rational.
The current product _must_ simply be a funding mechanism for whatever AI solution will ultimately define them. The idea that we’ll continue to have rigidly defined design mockups and specification seems relatively naive compared to generative UX defined by the user and their interaction preferences.
On the subject of LLMs and cats, I continue to find it disappointing that if you search for one of the leading AI services in the Apple App Store that they all seem to have centralized on images of cats in their first app screenshot as the most-converting image in that setting
Edit: a quick re-search shows they’ve differentiated a bit. But why are cats just the lowest common denominator? As someone who is allergic to them any cat reference immediately falls flat (personal problem, I know).
