  1. I never even knew that there WAS a Japanese Diddy. Thanks for the transpacific rap news, Patrick!

  2. It’s kind of weird how Rogan has a tendency to fall for lies, pseudoscience, and various other claptrap, but is quite resistant to taking in facts.

  3. It’s a sad rationalization that comes with age . . . FTFY You are unethical. Your excuse boils down to “everybody does it, so why bother trying to fix it.” The “I’m just one man so there is nothing I can do” is rationalizing bullpuckey so you don’t have to think about it. You’ve given up on self-awareness because self awareness is painful and often depressing. If you accept that you are making unethical decisions that cause suffering to people far away whom you will never meet, perhaps you might start making more ethical decisions or at least try to include ethics in your decision making calculus. We (the people watching this video) are all morally compromised. If we can admit this to ourselves, we can begin to make more ethical decisions on a daily basis about small and seemingly trivial things, such as purchases, driving, food consumption, etc. I’m not trying to dictate to you what you should do. I’m reminding you that you are a moral agent, and as a moral agent, “that’s just how the world works” and “everybody does it” are lame excuses you’re using to protect your false self-image. We can’t become better people if we don’t admit to ourselves we are somewhat bad people that need to improve.

  4. It’s weird that he saw advertisers dropping out as a personal attack. I wouldn’t even call it a boycott. Companies deciding to not do business with you is not a boycott. A boycott is a specific thing; for one thing, a boycott is organized. These companies didn’t organize to not do business with Twitter/Xitter. They just stopped advertising on the platform.

  5. So you could utilize vacant office space to hold the juice? It’s not dependent on the bag (which contributes to landfill problems). You just need an app to control how much juice you squeeze out of your office.

  6. That’s the funny twist in the story. The deposits are FDIC insured. The money is still there, safe, and the bank (or possibly banks) are apparently solvent. The hold up is that the records, i.e., which account is associated with which user, is lost.

  7. This is a set. If it was his real office, it would be cluttered with turntables and midi interfaces.

  8. lol, and when they had a chance to negotiate lighter sanctions, the said “no, we want the harder sanctions because hard brexit sounds more macho.”

  9. Are you aware of what John Deere is doing now in the IoT (Internet of Tractors) space? John Deere is not the best example, given their customers’ recent experiences. It’s gotten so bad that many long time customers have had to write Deere John letters to the company. But if your main point is that money is the root of all evil, you should quickly develop an app for it because the idea goes back at least 2000 years. I’m sure that there are others developing means to digitize cash and put it in the cloud so that people don’t have to be spiritually tainted by physically handling filthy lucre.

  10. Mic, short for Microphone. Mike is the name of a person. It’s short for Mikerophone.

  11. Physical water? That’s dumb. Nobody wants to deal with the hassle and mess of physical water. You know what’s smart? Water in the cloud. I’ll give you a minute to grasp what a genius idea this is. Water in the cloud can be moved anywhere for JIT delivery. It can be registered on a block chain or represented as an NFT and used as both a unique investment vehicle (no two water molecules are exactly alike) or as a liquid asset. Furthermore, if you know anything about homeopathy, you know that dilution generates value in the form of special healing properties. Do you know what nobody has done? Homeopathic water. Imagine if you could dilute water to a ratio of one or two parts per million. Do you get it yet? This is a license to print water and it’s 0000000.1% legal. Plus the water cures cancer.

  12. Plus he’s throwing a bone to the military so that he can continue with his reforms. If you know a bit about Argentinian history, you’ll know why you don’t want to make the military unhappy.

  13. Marc Andressen understands perfectly well what PEP is. He’s just lying about it.

  14. AI is a misnomer, really. You use predictive text? That’s AI. Digital assistance is one or more orders more complicated. And still frustrating. Here’s the thing about “general AI” or “self-aware AI”—it will be indistinguishable from really good mimicry of self-aware intelligence. When the singularity happens, we won’t notice. The Turing test still holds, because there is no way to test if an AI has consciousness or if it is really good at faking it (much like humans, no?).

  15. For some things, it doesn’t even need to be coded in. You code in autofill that accepts data from the browser or a contacts app or the OS or a password manager, and you rely on the users’ to either use this built in automation on the user end or fill out the fields manually. The user already has the data in this case (but your issue sounds like the user didn’t have ready access to it, so it’s a slightly different problem). I still come across phone apps that do not allow autofill. It’s super frustrating in this day and age.

  16. He seems to invite mostly guests that are liars.

  18. I’m certain that Elon will put all his investments and businesses into a blind trust, because it’s ethical. Clearly he is a highly ethical person or he wouldn’t be so rich.

  19. lol, but seriously I want to know what firm is handling this case for Musk.😅 I can sort of see Musk’s point, but I don’t think this case will go anywhere. Nor is he the best messenger.

  20. Anthropomorphic robots that can type faster than you threaten to take white collar jobs. 😮

  21.  @282XVL  Hitler considered deportation rather than genocide, but it was cost prohibitive. Setting up a Jewish colony on Madagascar was studied, considered, and eventually rejected. Separation of races was more important. Trump’s affection for Israel seems contingent on the Israeli government flattering him, and conservative American Jews giving him money.

  23. No, they fail the accurate naming test by including the phrase “customer service” in the department name. “Customer suffering” would be more accurate. The employees are paid to follow a script, and that’s what they will do to keep their jobs. In those instances where you find someone helpful who goes off-script, they are not destined to keep those jobs for very long.

  24. He treats Livermore and Ponzi with dignity, but Patrick is a lot less sympathetic to some of our contemporaries. I wouldn’t say he dehumanizes them, but he doesn’t pull any punches.

  25. It would work if they pivot into VR.

  26. What makes this stock stink?

  29.  @TQFMTradingStrategies  Glad to encounter someone who understands the truth. Birds aren’t real.

  30. I think Helvetica has been deprecated in favor of San Francisco and San Francisco Pro. Say what you will, but at least it’s not grotesque. 😉

  31. Isn’t Cryto the leader of the rebellion in Total Recall? It’s not his fault if he’s using a lot of computer power and electricity. That’s just life on Mars.

  32. If the skilled technicians were employed at a studio, they were union workers. You can be damn sure those numbers make it into employment reports. What about the freelance non-union workers? Those are treated as independent contractors (which they are in the tax code) when employment statistics are tallied. For other purposes, such as working conditions and workers rights, they might be treated as employees by the law. But the thing is, how many workers are we talking about in a state with 40 million people? I don’t think the number is statistically significant. The reason that runaway production is a problem is that the business is highly profitable, and California loses tax revenue when those profits move to another state. It loses tax revenue when the support companies (vendors, equipment rental companies, other suppliers) follow the out of state production.

  33.  @SusCalvin It makes you watch the video. 😜

  34.  @extantsanity  Is that why there are zero tunnels anywhere in California? Because of the faults?

  35. lol, you might as well have said, “I just want to waste your time for a half hour because I’m going to buy whatever I want at Sweetwater or Amazon”. You boomers crack me up. You were never going to give that salesperson any business but you expect to be catered to while you treat the store like a showroom for online businesses.

  37. What are you trying to say? That the Chinese deserve credit for the EPA and U.S. state clean air regulations (primarily California)?

  38.  @makuru.42  We can have more engagement if someone would write, “Actually, it’s short for Michaelophone.”

  39. The videos of the wind generated ember storms are beyond horrific. I’m getting very bored with the well meaning suggestions that Los Angeles merely needs to use seawater. Some folks are making a big thing about the lack of water pressure. The fact is, it wouldn’t have mattered because this fire spread so quickly. By the time seawater pumps might have been realistically used, the fire was already across PCH. One channel that has been very useful in covering the fires in Palisades and Altadena is The Lookout. Zeke knows what he’s talking about. Go check it out, it might help you counter the misinformation and misunderstandings about the L.A. fires. Zeke was a professional fire mapper. He’s based in Chico. He understands very well the fuel situation in So Cal. I have two friends that were evacuated from their neighborhood in west Altadena. Their neighborhood and house was spared because the vegetation on two sides got burned in the Station Fire. The fire scar from that fire probably saved their house.

  40. I think I just stumbled upon Patrick this year, one of the rare times that The Algorithm has gotten things right.

  41. The UC system is tops. The Cal State system is not far behind, as good or better than other state schools and competitive internationally. On top of that, our community college and city college system is pretty good at preparing students to complete their 4-year degrees at 4-year universities. What is missing is a strong vocational education system, but this is also a problem nationally.

  42. You certainly showed them!

  44. It depends on who owns the for-profit company. If it’s the non-profit that owns it (or owns a majority stake if the FPC is a joint venture), it might be totally kosher. What about taxes? The FPC venture is subject to taxes on profits before they’re passed through to the NFP. Imagine a museum with a bookshop or gift shop. The museum is a NFP organization, but it operates the gift shop as a for-profit venture. Any profits from the gift shop get funneled to the museum. Obviously there are differences between the hypothetical museum and OpenAI, but it should be the starting point of how we think about this. However, my intuition also tells me that Musk has a point. The problem is that he’s a really bad messenger for this point, with questionable motivation and a high degree of hypocrisy, not to mention that his legal ground is quicksand.

  45. Plastics recycling gets a bad rap because so much of it gets packed up and buried in land fills. But I like to think of it as burying treasure for future post apocalyptic societies. Someday knowing where all the plastic is buried will be valuable knowledge.

  46. Who is the judge and who appointed them?

  47. How about bunk beds and pillow forts? If you can’t convert office space into residential, how about dormitories? 😂 This business plan just needs a snappy company name. What do you think about We Crash?

  48. They had a shit post war period until the sixties. So I think some of the issues were there before. I have to wonder how much of the UK wealth was based on colonial power and they just cruised on it until it ran out.
