Check with your local non-profits, most 2nd hand no warranty/guarantee shops are in your local small industrial parks and sell mostly to non-profits or very small companies.

They will not have a store front or advertise you'll just call the owner and ask if they have "X" or equivalent and if so you can go get it. I've used a few of them over the years for monitors and wyse terminals for small businesses.

It's feasible, just not sure it's profitable.

Your biggest issue is going to be EU/UK (un)encryption laws now that Switzerland is breaking.

A standalone home/cloud VM server would probably be easier than a full cloud based google like system that can easily be throttled at it's one source by any EU agency/government.

As long as you realize that is not how LLM's currently work.

This is not a serious prediction... this is just Altman's way of saying that things are going to be very futuristic in a decade. He is NOT predicting physics and engineering breakthroughs that specifically will enable a boom in space exploration. I think it's disingenuous of the media to take this quote and run with it... it's really kind of taken out of context.

Just like your comment wasn't a serious comment, anyone defending this rich asshole has no idea what he's actually saying.

This was a backhand to anyone not born rich and in a CS program that he's purposely trying to make a permanent burger flipper. It's the exact same vain as Biden's "coal miners should learn to code" shit.

Or I could use any text based editor to do that without AI.

"there will be another crisis someday" ... yes I guess that's always true in general.

I can agree it might be crypto but not because of "crypto" specifically it's more about the banking deregulation and the abomination called Fintech as a whole that will more than likely cause a community to regional banking crises due to all of the SanFran startups buying and then running banks into the ground. Crypto is just the cool boy thing they are using to buy said banks.

Sadly no. Russia already controls the important (rich) coastal lands and the single mineral mining area now. There is no reason for him to turn anything over without a complete invasion from the USA which is not in the country's interests.

The Ukraine lost several years ago and has no chance of winning at this point as the death toll on there side is not only larger but more devastating.

The thing you need to worry about is the next step, regaining Georgia's oil reserves.

The saddest thing about the Zuck is it's not even his line.

He lifted "Personal Superintelligence" and the "vision" word for word from far smarter people than himself from nearly a decade ago. That story was already reported on.

To be fair Abraham Loeb is a quick sliding Baby Boomer who's closer to 70 than 50. Like Ridley Scott (when was the last good Alien movie?) his tank has to be on empty at this point.

Who's going to take up his mantle Mr. Desch ?
