1) nope 2) new acccount?

I still have no idea what you are replying to, in response to my comment

If the total sales of a market = 100 and Tesla has 20% share then it has 20 in revenue.

Basic math dude.

There’s such a thing as a top down vs bottom up approach.

Because Elon pulls off certain manoeuvres that feeds right into his "just trust me bro" supporters.

Marketshare is how revenue is determined. If the market as whole grows but Tesla's share of it does not at least stay static, it means it is losing revenue.

And whats the real growth when controlled for inflation (price increases)?

"Which it is in AI, you buy more CPUs and GPUs."

Ermmm. what?

"Microsoft needs to start asking if it should do something before it does it."

Do they? I hope they don't. I would enjoy seeing MSFT implode and losing trust of its shareholders with its cash - itll be forced to return it rather than reinvest.

I sometimes read posts on here and just laugh.

Its easy to sit in the armchair and say "just be a visionary bro" when they forget Tim worked under Steve for awhile before his death - he has some sense and understanding of what it takes to get a great product out of the door.

Nvidia is generating a lot of revenue, sure - but what is the downstream impact on its customers with the hardware? All they have right now is negative returns to show for their spending. Could this change? Maybe. Is it likely? Not in my view.

As it stands, Apple has made the absolute right choice in not wasting its cash and is demonstrating discipline. Which when all this LLM mania quietens, shareholders will respect.

As someone that has driven thousands of miles, and encountered some interesting roundabouts and junctions - I cannot relate to your experience whatsoever.

"I just didn't want it acting like an asshole on the road and didn't trust it enough to let the situation play out by itself."

So basically you had to intervene and it doesnt meet the standard of a fully autonomous vehicle. Do all the mental gymnastics all you want mate lmao.

Okay... but an airplane in essence is modelling the shape of a bird. Where do you think the inspiration for the shape of a plane came from? lmao. come on.

Humans are not all that original, we take what exists in nature and mangle it in some way to produce a thing.

The same thing will eventually happen with AI - not in our lifetime though.

I never mentioned AI once in my post.

Comments such as "Ai is inevitable" okay... post something tangible dude. All this stuff is just total noise.

What world domination though? If such a thing ever existed for example in the US, the government would move to own and control it. No firm or individual would be allowed to acquire and exercise that level of power.

Said another way, will a firm suddenly improve radically because they hired a thousand PhDs folks? Not quite.

Many things sound good on paper. But paper vs reality are very different. Things are more complex in reality.

Do these comparisons actually make sense though?

Aircraft and submarines belong to a different category and of the same category, than AI.

"Humans make the same error but my one concern was that it doesn’t realize it’s in the wrong lane"

This is actually very deadly.. at least humans will signal / try do something in a safe manner to continue going on. An autonomous vehicle may behave in unpredictable ways and cause carnage. It only takes one incident to completely shutter it forever.

Im not convinced at the comparison to the .com boom of the internet, its intellectually lazy.

The internet was always going to disrupt the way we think about the discovery and purchase of goods and services at the bare minimum. Some saw that the role of the personal computer was evolving from just computation to communication and so on.. this stuff was obvious early on. Irrespective of the equity bubble at that time, the potential was real. It was just too early.

There is nothing of this sort happening with LLMs. Where do they fit? Nobody has a clear answer and I don't see a clear one emerging any time soon. If someone has a very clear and direct answer, please feel free to reply :=)

The nature of poverty is relative and its definition within a territory is a moving target.

Theres nothing stochastic about a human that hits a 147 mate nor a 9 darter mate. I cant believe people seriously post this nonsense.

Its much easier to vote with your feet than to get Mr Zuckerberg to change.

So why didnt you? Thats my question.

IM guessing you worked in London? I met a few PMs from Meta. And just to put it mildly, they fit the description of what I described - gave a big talk about how bad it was inside, but when faced with the option of walking and giving away monetary gains - nah. Self interest is king.

Whether you like it or not, or want to admit it, you have profited handsomely from a firm that has caused a great deal of harm / and in many cases has intentionally created an environment that has heightened the senses, for financial gain.

I also saw you joined circa 2020 and have enjoyed the rapid growth in share price - and left just on the 4 year mark, enjoying the SBC to the max. Easy to say that you'd give all that up, after you received the gains and left.

Yeah taxes are nice. Especially when running on a budget deficit.

Where is the funding for all this coming from again? Remind me why councils for example in the UK, are broke and barely investing in this stuff?

Ah... yeah. Lets get real.

There’s enough of a large group of people to the extent that no party wants to piss them off. Pure and simple.

You do realise this is never going to happen? Especially not with countries that are already running on budget deficits. If you want the roads to be privatised (whom then eventually will setup tolls) be my guest... but leave me out of it lmao.

Yeah and frankly its employees are the biggest joke (this is more pointed at the directors who do virtue signalling that I see). You don't have to go work there - there are other jobs. They choose to work there.

Imagine comparing driving a car to riding horses, lmao!

The US as it stands is a dictatorship, that thankfully, has some checks and balances to control Mr Trump.

One only has to watch that recent White House dinner of the Big Tech figures getting together (minus Scamath) and the forceful nature in which Mr Trump made Zuck and Cook issue statements of large investment amounts.

Nothing of that nature goes in Europe, at least not so blatantly.

Would those same employees (assuming they get stock based compensation) be happy to forgo capital gains that have/would be achieved by said firm that has increased its wealth by not investing in child safety projects? Thats what would happen if reinvestment was increased.

Lol. True.

Its becoming more obvious that X was acquired so that Musk had control of a form of mass communication to benefit himself.

Very ugly world we live in - the joker masquerades as someone who is doing stuff for the benefit of humanity and crossdresses to appeal to whomever to benefit himself.

Yeah as time goes on, the grift has become more apparent. But will it get fully exposed before he dies? Thats the real question.
