But they do. Lots of crap has “AI powered” plastered on the investor prospectus with no real world application. The worst Ive seen has been targeted at audiences that wernt burned by .com, such as in China, but even in the US youll have a hard time finding a startup that doesnt incorporate AI in some way.

It would be pretty unusual for a company on the scale of Facebook or Microsoft to go under due to a bubble like this, although it is slightly possible they might slip down a tier in the shuffle. Its more likely well see lots of shitty little companies tacking AI onto things that dont need AI go under, and the speculative ventures burning investor money on market share or technologies that may never turn profitable will be thinned out greatly. Its also possible we could see some big names that dont have revenue outside the AI market suffer financial setbacks and be absorbed. Its also possible the bubble could continue to grow for years and we could see some really ridiculous investments and an even more devastating crash in the end.
Even technologies that totally transform society, like trains or the Internet, can overinvest and eventually pop. It doesnt mean the tech goes away, it just means investors take a bath and the dead weight gets burned off.

Usually with a VIP political figure addressing the troops the big concern is physical security. They know full well that ~50% of the people in the room hate their guts, and they are totally ok with and used to that. They also know everyone will at least keep their mouth shut if they disagree.

Congress is mostly going along with him because they are afraid of being primaried. If he dips much lower we might suddenly see unexpected people speaking truth to power.

They can order to them to stand there for the speech and to cheer at the end, but there are a lot of ways to interpret that order. Better to hand pick people who want to be there, rather than deal with a bunch of sarcastic soldiers trying to make their displeasure known on camera.

Thats alot of subscriptions, but not an implausible number.

Assuming Russia did a shitty job with their planning, there may be lots of juicy targets of opportunity for the next few weeks.
Ive looked into this a little bit before, and while insects have theoretical advantages, its actually really difficult to beat chickens for turning feed into protein. Beef is extremely inefficient by nature, but theres a lot of technical hurdles between us from an insect meat world.
jrs100000@lemmy.worldtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Living beings emit a faint light that extinguishes upon death, studyEnglish6·2 months agoThe paper itself says “The phenomenon of biological ultraweak photon emission (UPE), that is, extremely low-intensity emission (10–103 photons cm–2 s–1) in the spectral range of 200–1000 nm, has been observed in all living systems that have been examined.” Human vision falls within that spectral range, but the brightness is several orders magnitude too faint to see with the naked eye, even in absolute darkness.
At that point its just self hatred manifest.
