  1. @Dahobbs My hunch is ole Ed Citron must not be very technical and/or a practicioner of any sort of technology (or owner of any business process) to be making these asinine claims. But happy to be wrong and have him be a Sam Altman-type and know some secrets. But at the surface level, it was moronic to share his moronic opinions and pretend they were insightful or intelligently provocative. They were embarrassing. ETA: Sorry if you are Ed, if Ed is you.
  2. For one thing, Ed's fearmongering of not being functional because of a redesign of the GUI is dumb to me. Even the "intelligent" automation that exists today (the second and third generation of macros and web scraping) are resilient enough to handle UI changes and not break the bots. If even these dumb automations which have been using dynamic capabilities and computer vision for years, you think the new OpenAI digital agent/computer vision will be more fragile and break? Secondly, $200/month is not incredibly expensive and for the use cases that this can be pointed at and the value captured can be massive. Industries with massive amount of manual or (headcount) intensive labor to punch keyboards or copy and paste and move data around spreadsheets into software systems, and especially the OSP/BPO space, will see massive business value. And even if it's not 95% accurate as Ed suggested was the break-even point, there are still massive efficiency and cost gains (full time employees, manual labor hours) that can be captured.
  3. ohhhhh Ryan Reynolds gonna get the Ellen DeGeneres tear down and have the tide turn against him and everyone hate him? Juicy, I love it, I'm here for it, Go!
  4. I mean I think we are saying the same thing. The Vanderbilt/Chase/Carnegie reincarnate who harnesses nuclear fusion is going to own the power generation monopoly as even the most chinese, temu-priced solar panels would be a more expensive way to generate power.
  5. I agree with you. But I don't think there is anything inherent or intrinsic to the latino and browner skin. I think it's just because the lionshare of immigrants (and illegal immigrants) are latino and brown due to geography. If the borders were being inundated with Dutch people, you'd get a bunch of Dutch slurs and hate, etc. I think that's why in Canada you see the villianization of immigrants with their demographic (Arabs) and the same thing with Germany (Turks), etc. (Granted all those situations are the whiter skin being immigrated upon in droves by darker skin, but it's not inherently the skin color that is the problem)
  6. The neverending breadsticks porn threatens to ruin a generation of men like only hostile wartime has in past eras.
  7. Have you completely abandoned, then, the flimsy cover story of the original premise being made to help your girlfriend? lol
  8. So Ed Zitron and Dahobbs are morons.
  9. Dr. Pepper is the King. Blue Bell cannot be beat, despite their checkered ethical past and the fact they are lousy with Aggies. They still are the GOAT of ice cream to thine taste buds. Whataburger openly sucks now. Southwest Airlines has always sucked (I didn't fly it in the 60's or 70's when the stewardesses dressed like twin peaks girls). Texas BBQ is superior to all other SEC bastion bbq (Carolina, Tennessee, etc.)
  10. Ed Zitron sounds like a moron.
  11. It rasies the question that if we (states) are going to be decoupled from a federal umbrella of protection with respect to natural disasters (i.e. FEMA), then what are we really doing here as a republic? I guess we still have the overarching need of a singular military and an economic engine as the sum of the parts is greater than if we had 4 or 5 balkanized countries by region (e.g. Confederacy Redux, PNW, New Yorkia, etc.), but we are seemingly content to erode any other value of having a federal government if we continue down this path...
  12. That's a very strange standard to meet, but okay.
  13. Characterizing Hoover (largely considered the Godmother of BookTok and one of the best selling writers--albeit shlock) as a no-name is a choice. I think David Baldacci and all the mass-produced spy/action/legal thrillers are all schlocky but they are well-known, popular and sell tons as well.
  14. Been reading a lot of Davos coverage this week (WEF) which of course is an intersection of business & politics. Found the Zelensky comments to Europe and Ursula von der Leyen's keynote to be a validation (or maybe a reaction) to what Donald Trump is demanding of Europe-- a stronger, more resilent and independent and self-sustaining body (e.g. "pay your fair share, deadbeats" as Donny would say it):
  15. A lot of people do-- hence my opinion being unpopular. And for sure unpopular on here with our (or at least, my demoraphic)-- educated, older, straight white male with grayer hair than Nate.
  16. Lots of ballsy people here to bad mouth a 13-year instituonalized tech savvy and brilliant person who now has nearly unlimited amount of money and who will likely at like 90% odds read this and see what you are saying about him. Stay frosty, brothers!
  17. Been watching some Nate Bargatze and I just don't get it. He's not unfunny, he's okay. But the cult following and the number of people telling me I have to watch this guy because he's just so hilarious is baffling to me. He's smart and kinda funny and his delivery is good but he's nothing exceptional or special. I feel like his comedy can be heard at any number of happy hours and bars adjacent to big tech campuses around the country. Is he funnier than the funniest product manager at Dell? Probably? Maybe?
  18. A couple of interesting things: Yes, we pulled out of the Paris Agreement federally, but great to see 24 (and counting?) States step up and say they are not pulling out. Mirrors the SEC/States Scope 3 legislation as well. I think the future is less a federal one, but state-drive (a la marijuana) and one that eventually gets to a plurality. I'm just now seeing that there was a "Trump Energy Emergency" EO. This is only to power AI and data centers of course and it reduces environmental restrictions to get some power generated. This is because Trump has dergulated AI. The idea is that we are goign to double down on nuclear and renewables as well to power AI. The ideal state is that project Stargate helps to solve Nuclear Fusion (collecting fusion energy from 93 million miles away or something).
  19. Saw this posted on LinkedIn and thought not this thread: I asked ChatGPT's new "Operator" agent a very straight forward question about account research yesterday and the answer actually blew my mind. "If I give you 100 public companies, can you analyze their 10ks, stock reactions, earnings calls, and see how well it fits the problems my company solves?" It said not only can it do the research, but it gave examples on problem fit analysis, options for deliverables (excel, pdf, database), and even offered to integrate to Salesforce to continuously update account fields! This was just one simple question, the first question I asked. It knew not only what my objective was, but also assumed what I would want to do with the information and offered up a solution. Any scraping, account research, or enrichment job will be done right in chat. And, with their new tasks release, you can set it to continuously do research for the most relevant information.
  20. I can imagine ole Ross on his back daydreaming about this day and wondering if it would ever come while listening to his celly making hooch or crunching up ramen for lunch. 13 years will harden and institutionalize anyone. A brilliant mind, hardened by 13 years of incarceration, and with 600 million dollars....the world is an oyster, if there ever was an application for that saying.
  21. I think he means this: “Free Ross” was a slogan in support of Ulbricht heard at conventions for the Libertarian Party and the cryptocurrency industry, two groups that campaigned for Trump during the presidential election. In a speech at the Libertarian Party National Convention last May, Trump said, “If you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht.” The party opposes criminal drug policies and viewed Ulbricht’s arrest as a government overstep.
  22. someone write a prompt and get an LLM to process all the information and write us a nice one page memo of the juciest tea. I'm sure there is something juicy, right?
  23. This is me.
  24. Not saying this isn't true and that we shouldn't believe Ann, but isn't Sam Altman gay? I don't think I've ever heard of a gay man sexually assaulting a woman or girl, but I'm sure it happens because we are a sick people, us humans.
