Im confused why this person seems to think a single person firm is some sort of mythical unicorn that might someday be distilled out of a larger business. There are already millions of one person enterprises running all over the world, its probably the most common business type by raw numbers. Help answering their emails probably not whats actually holding most of them back. If you actually look at it from the bottom up, trying to scale a sole operator up, the limiting factor is usually going to be that the person has to actually deliver the valuable thing your business provides. They have to show up and take pictures of the wedding, mow the lawn, sign off on someone’s tax forms, sit down and film a podcast, or whatever. Removing the friction around that would be great for efficiency, but only to the point that it frees up more time for value creation, and if your AI is able to automate their value creation process itself then the value collapses.

This whole thing reads like someone who has their head so far up the ass of management they forgot that there are actually little people at the bottom of every company that actually provide the value that makes the money.

The reason these MBAs are billionaires and IT people scurry around putting out fires is the realization that constant disasters just encourage customers to spend more money.

And ironically, AI fixes almost all these problems. Just pull up Deep Seek, drop in whatever the console throws at you and you can get back the answer free of charge. These days the hardest part of bash is remembering that Ctrl+V should be Shift+Ctrl+V.

Building, maintaining and launching rockets is actually not great for the environment either!

Article says this is about DDR3 and DDR4 RAM, so it seems unlikely data centers are directly to blame.

I was part of a project that tried. If you just want to get rid of dialog trees local processing might be an option, but for an actual reactive world your looking at possibly hundreds of dollars a month in rented compute. The deeper problem is the current generation of LLMs are just too unstable over time, and frankly, too dumb to maintain its persona and keep up with a dynamic fictional world. Each hallucination amplifies the disconnect from the fictional reality, and trying to reset it changes the presentation of the persona. And if the humans are actively trying to mess with the AIs or if the AIs are supposed to consider something without blurring it out, its all going to crash and burn.

Of course, its a little concerning that these agents are too unreliable to be a character is a fictional video game, but apparently reliable enough to be given access and authority in the real world.

Also spraying thousands of large caliber bullets a minute into the air isn’t a great idea in a populated area around the capital. They might hit somebody important.

Having lived through several market collapses, Ive never seen one that ended up being a boon to any industry but dollar stores.

Not it doesnt say to over report your tips, but it does say that if you or your employer report under a certain percent of sales as tips, exactly what percentage they wont say, that theyll audit you, and that that percentage is at least 8%.

And tips are normally reported as a percentage of gross sales. Technically you can report less, but thats a good way to get catch a tax audit, and if the total tips reported from the restaurant fall too low the whole place will be audited. If your actual tips are short for the day the standard practice is to report the normal percentage and eat the loss.

I think youve answered your own question. They, and everyone else making humanoid robots, have almost certainly tried. The fact that they are still having actors control their demos using VR systems tells you how well those tests went.

Its called inflation. And billionaires dont hoard money, they hoard assets. Most of the time inflation just makes them richer, as salaries drain out year over year and their stock prices keep going up.

Thats definitely not a valuation youd expect for a company that had any chance of delivering. General purpose humanoid robots are the other half of the AI-singularity-permanent oligarchy vision: data centers to replace knowledge workers and robots to replace physical labor, then…I dont know, fly off to Mars or something?

Anyway, if there was a chance they were close to producing a robot that could actually function as a human analog they should be pushing a trillion dollar valuation in this market.

Hitler didnt have nukes, but he did have chemical weapons. V-2s loaded with nerve gas aimed at London were one the table up until early 1945.

Because leaders are the ones who decide what is valuable.

LLMs generally struggle to tell the difference between obtuse and clear language, so that wont slow them down. A better attack would be to praise their work and continually ask them to expand upon its scope and integrate it with more and more things every time they submit. The expansion and integration targets can, and should, be nonsensical.

Im sure that will stop them.

They also do this deliberately. A mild expression of non-actionable disent can help gauge public reaction and lure prospective residents out of hiding.
