@timbray @davidgerard all in all I think it's just very sad and another example that one-time brilliance does not guarantee that it flows on, like Linus Pauling trying to cure everything with vitamin C. Or Watson and Crick being racist and eugenicist.

1/ You can think that Tridge made some mistakes (I do, and he acknowledges them) and disagree with his take on GenAI (I do) but the pitchfork-wielding burn-the-witch mob being led by @davidgerard should show some humility and humanity. -
Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI.@MikeElgan that can't be right, OpenAI look like they're not entirely setting money on fire. I guess they have some very creative accounting tricks to make it look like they're only half going broke.

Just got into it with some idiot about taxing billionaires, and their argument basically boiled down to “governments are corrupt, so the tax revenue won’t be used properly.”@pmonks well yeah, people who are elected obviously can't be trusted with large piles of money, but unelected billionaires obviously can - we've never seen anything bad from them in the past or present, nor can we imagine anything bad from them in the future.
