After 22 years, my z4 has needed batteries and a starter.

Recently, there was a problem with the engine misfiring but it was $200.

LA, California

If you had bought a 7 or 5 Series at that time, you would not have had that experience. The 2001 7 Series had something like a 25% roadside breakdown rate.

25% every journey, or 25% over the lifetime of the car? Neither seems really believable but I don't understand how else you would measure this.

It’s all ego. I, and only I, am the bringer of doom, slayer of worlds.

I am so smart that what I do will destroy humanity, or save it.

Fable 5 was great, but not that great.

Sorry to be crude, but both the government and anthropic are acting like a bunch of pussies.

Meow.

You’re not getting it. Anthropic continual fear mongering is harming wider AI industry development and the gov has always been looking for an excuse to assert their dominance. They got what they deserve.

Or maybe government AI regulation and international cooperation is the only thing that can break the arms race dynamics and is necessary to save us from a substantial chance of doom?

Or they could have thrown the letter away.

MS releasing VS code led to Cursor reaping $60B in value.

What do you mean by $60b in value? Revenue? Valuation? Cursor’s most recent raise was at a post valuation of $29b.

Also, leadership at MSFT has talked quite a bit about their strategy with VS Code and it’s exactly what I was describing above (which is why I used it as an example). They give it away for free so that they can control the ecosystem.

SpaceX is buying it for $60B

Having a non-script method of downloading the right native binary would be a good next step.

Yeah this seems manageable.

Motra, my workout app on iPhone (with great Apple Watch support, including counting reps), uses Apple foundation models to build a workout.

Not all use cases will be big agentic coding things that will use millions of tokens.

Some on device (or on server) stuff might be small one shot calls that just use what’s the OS provides.

Have you tried using superpower skills?

While I generally agree with your sentiment, imaging how they would say it to users: your ai works on iPhone 15 pro but some things will work if it’s a little less private we send things to a server then the regular 15 can do it. Image generation is server based so 15 is ok, but editing an image is not since 15 does not have enough ram but 15 pro does. Etc etc.

Or just say: ai for 15 pro not for 15.

I think there will be plenty of demand. Most of which is not bothered by price at all.

When the indexes get in -- watch out!

They will have to buy so much SpaceX, that it will force them to sell everything else.

They won't, SpaceX will weigh less then 1% in most indexes, since they're mostly float adjusted, only NASDAQ will overweight them, but FTSE/MSCI/CRSP/SP will not.

It's still quite some money but it won't crush the market by itself.

The truly terrifying thing is that someone could short the Musk companies, and with one bullet can cause them to drop 50-90% right away (thanks to meme-ness). And they are valued so high that such a person could make billions overnight, maybe 10s of billions. Terrifying to be Must or anyone that shares a car or plane with him.

Add that to the litany of reasons why shorting should be illegal. There is some value to shorting, but it doesn't justify the consequences.

And also, longs? The war in Iran has actually killed thousands of people, for market-manipulation purposes.

It is in the shrinking stage with robot dreams.
