I don't think most serious developers have time to watch prediction markets.

Protecting software creators, engineers, builders, and their work, regardless of their tools, is infinitely more important. Full stop.

Zig isn’t so much on the blacklist because of the culture it carries from its maintainers, but because the ecosystem is no longer easily composed with other GitHub projects/GitHub Actions.

It’s disrespectful to immediately jump to adversarial conclusions from a simple desire to refactor and poor netiquette.

I was part of the presale. I own one and am using it daily.

Invested in it because of the emerging opportunities from crypto and ZKPs.

Agreed. It appears then they were averaging up, and now they are averaging down.

The only knowledge this system knows is whatever it can scrape and regurgitate that appears truthful. A whole bunch of positively true, but also many cases of falsely positive.

This system can’t prove its own work (at least not yet) before publishing the results. It just publishes, which is similar to Wikipedia and Google.

I see ChatGPT more akin to Wikipedia and Google than a calculator. We don't consider Wikipedia or Google as much of a tool as they are a knowledge reservoir of truthiness.

Basically Robert Patrick’s T-1000 from Terminator 2, but instead of hunting humans it will optimize for rats.

Disney doesn’t have as great of pricing power in its much larger relevant market.

Plus, United States v. Paramount in 1948 prevents a lot of the vertical integration that could be achieved in their former markets.

The only other place they can go is the even more crowded market that is online.

Full tweet: "These falcons aren't traveling to any specific destination. There is no aviary they call home. Instead, each bird is backing hundreds of fractional interests held by investors. There's no way to split up a bird, so they remain in transit, virtualized. The plane never lands. Ever."

“Each bird is backing hundreds of fractional interests held by investors.”

Consider that lots of companies have relatively small market caps relative to their profit mandate, and yet they still provide a crucial value to their customers.

GE with a workforce of over 174,000 employees sells 75 billion dollars in goods and services, yet has a price to sales ratio of 1.37.
