Not the right one for me, but I seem to be stuck here.

Nope. He was wrong, and so is this article.

This paragraph, repeated 5 times, constitutes the entire article:

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Thanks! That worked fine.

This link still runs into a subscription paywall, as do most of your recent posts.

Well, make up your mind, is it superintelligence or is it AI?

Give an AI agent access to my 1Password vault? Sure, why not, what could possibly go wrong?

I will never click on a link that has "superintelligent" in the headline

Aside from the fact that $15M is couch change for these companies, and aside from the fact that this project is hypocritical and self-serving (as explained by many other posts), the whole idea of naming a supposedly large sum of money in a headline in order to impress is just silly. Whether a project is successful or worthwhile has little to do with how much funding may be lined up, and throwing numbers around is often just a smokescreen for poor planning and execution.

This headline is totally misleading. If you actually read what Torvalds says, he says he isn't really a kernel coder anymore, he simply aggregates the work of others. And his use of AI, at least from what he's saying now, is for personal "toy" projects. He certainly feels that AI is a useful tool, at least for his purposes, but nowhere does he state that he is "using AI to develop Linux kernel code."

Sounds like intelligent, effective planning, and I wish India the best of luck. Unfortunately, it will likely never happen in the US, due to entrenched interests, anti-education attitudes, and economic challenges -- not that the country as a whole couldn't afford it, but funds for higher education are being siphoned into private pockets.

Isn't "war without limits" another term for Armageddon? Sounds like a Christian Nationalist's dream.

Israel has completely forfeited its 'morality.' The Bible says 'an eye for an eye,' not 'genocide for an eye.'

This link goes to a story about Kamala Harris.

Corporate culture grows from the top down. When you've got a sociopath for a CEO, the results are predictable.

Here's a quote from everybody's favorite AI:

The most useful comparison: cost per MWh

Rather than comparing construction bills directly, levelized cost of energy (LCOE) incorporates construction, financing, operating expenses, fuel, and the amount of electricity produced.

Lazard's 2026 estimates are approximately:

    Utility solar: $40–$88/MWh

    Utility solar + storage: $61–$105/MWh

    Nuclear: $141–$276/MWh

These are unsubsidized estimates and represent a range of project assumptions rather than guaranteed costs. Lazard specifically notes that its nuclear estimate is based on the publicly available costs of Vogtle 3 and 4, while its solar-plus-storage figure incorporates both generation and storage.

I'm using it now... Round tabs are dumb, a silly distracting unhelpful change. But I really like compact mode, gives me less browser and more website on my laptop.

It's interesting how Gates has tried to morph from the no-holds-barred owner of a predatory software company to some kind of elder statesman. I certainly didn't trust him back then, and I see no reason to trust him now. Whatever he's trying to accomplish with these portentious pronouncements, you can be sure that it all stems from (unenlightened) self-interest.

The remarks of a CEO are self-serving by definition. Otherwise he would be vulnerable to shareholder lawsuits.

Any incentives to do that, or just threats if you don't?

That should be "thought" with quotes around it

We miss the salary too.

When you're making a fortune selling AI, it's hard to know just how to manipulate public opinion so that people are scared enough to give you money, but not so scared that they try to regulate you

Future tense unnecessary. AI is currently, right now, affecting virtually everything. Anything you see, hear, or read, whether on social media or anywhere else, is already strongly influenced, if not completely created, by AI.

Even things that you are almost sure were made by a human still carry a seed of doubt, and that's all it takes for AI to have a massive influence.

Given that everything emanating from this administration has a political agenda, does this mean that Thiel is on the outs?

In order to control the angry mobs no doubt.

So, basically a frat house, except with a lot more money and a lot less oversight.

Archeologists of the future will discover this article and remark on how prophetic it was.

This is certainly true in the long run. However, there's a lot of dislocation along the way. Disruption may be good for profits, but not so good for the people who get disrupted. Not saying that progress is wrong, but it's not always pleasant to live through.
