Uber passenger: "Love your Tesla. But how often do you have to find a place to charge it?"
Me: "I never have to find any place, I don't use public chargers. I charge out of my garage wall, just like you do your iPhone at home."
Uber passenger: "Well how much does that increase your power bill?"
Me: "I don't know, how much does your iPhone increase your power bill?
Uber passenger: "Uhhhhhh, well, I don't know."
Me: "Yeah, me neither. It's that negligible and unimportant."
Uber passenger: "Ok, but what about battery fires? I know they catch fire all the time. How many batteries have you gone through?"
Me: "12"

These are the jobs they’re saying we need to protect from big bad autonomous vehicles
So I guess People First is code for “no healthcare, no benefits, no employee protections, throw drivers under the bus and cancel them off the platform when someone tries to scam a ride, and repetitively issue rides that require mileage below the federal tax deduction”. Did I list everything @Uber @dkhos?

I decided to dig deeper and my preliminary investigation found strong technical links between people first and a separate confirmed Uber-funded campaign
There's so much shady stuff happening here. I'll share more soon
An anti-robotaxi group called the People First Transportation Alliance has become active in DC in recent months.
But exactly who is behind the group remains unclear.
My latest for @washingtonpost

Second amendment doesn’t seem so crazy when you witness a shop keeper trying to defend their property and livelihood does it?

NEVER try to make people like you.
You could LITERALLY build a flying car and donate $10 billion to children, and people will STILL find ways to shit on you.
Just be you.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!
JUST DO COOL SHIT!!!!!

An AI bubble would mean more capacity than demand, as with fiber in 2000.
GPUs, memory and data centers are essentially sold out instead.
Political pushback on new U.S. data centers may keep it that way, making that kind of bubble less likely.

Was listening to @Jason and the @theallinpod guys today, and the subject of supply/demand in AI came up. The demand for tokens is only going up, and supply for the most critical components (GPUs, memory, data centers) is essentially sold out. This is exactly the opposite of what we had in 1999/2000 with high speed bandwidth. Which put a thought in my head:
Is the backlash to data centers in the U.S., and the attempt of politicians and special interest groups to throttle them, creating an environment that keeps the supply/demand equation out of balance? In other words, are the doomers ironically the ones that are going to make it more difficult to ever even have an AI bubble?
Do the doomers secretly have long positions on GPUs and memory?
That was quite literally one of the worst/hot garbage performances I have seen from a Dallas Cowboys team in over a week...
I was about to get caught up on my @RandyWKirk1 content before tomorrow, but then I found myself getting the munchies and going to Taco Bell instead.😂

So you can't order a Robotaxi after midnight. But if you order it before midnight. It will arrive after midnight and drive you way past midnight without any issue.
Feels like 24h service is close.

Universal Basic Capital.
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

William Friedkin's cinematography, and use of the most simplistic soundtrack possible, created something absolutely amazing. Even as beautiful as this scene is, you just know all hell is about to break loose (literally).
SI/AI is not going to get rid of artists. It's going to give superpowers to the next William Friedkin.

In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
