Is it possible that their attempt to be listed on the index is a way for private capital to cash in on their investments, leaving 401k funds etc holding the bag when the value dips?

My favourite take so far is the comparison to the introduction of the microwave. Some people really believed that they’d never have to cook again. So what we got was actually a way to make crap quality meals or reheat things when we don’t have time. This is roughly analogous to the output I get from the LLM.

Prawn star was the best I’ve seen

The property council publicly celebrated their influence over the nsw premier when he mandated RTO for public service. I maintain that we are gonna keep commuting until it runs dry because certainly commercial property investors and transurban can not withstand any reduction in profits.

I guess one of the problems I can see with being the incumbent, is that the unknown populist opposition can just promise anything, even if they have no intention of doing it.

Watched my first one recently and came away confused but also entertained. I dunno what to say about dupieux but he doesn’t have an issue with originality

Had the exact same IR problem with the XM4. Bit disillusioned with basically all the brands.

A guy on HN forked as “gram” https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram he doesn’t intend to pull everything from upstream

It should be the duty of slopcoders to dissolve the market of any VC takeover immediately by standing up a carbon copy. Yes I know it’s not that easy, but it’s alluring to destroy big tech using big tech.

What they need to do: reinvent themselves. What companies do when profits are down anyway: squeeze your customers who are fully vendor locked until they are dead.

It’s obvious to me that they always talk radical action and deliver just a tiny incremental change.

The cgt discount will be wound back, but I’m sure it will apply to a tiny fraction of assets under some qualifying criteria like only new sales and only on amounts under 10k (joking but you get what I mean). How are we still collectively thinking “this time they won’t back down”. Of course they will.

It’s kind of a worldwide phenomenon. I remember some guy showed the same pricing cycle in Austrian supermarkets. IMO There has to be more open source solutions to combat price information asymmetry eg. A browser extension that modifies the seller site with an indicator that shows we are in a fake discount period.
