it seems really badly designed or maybe it is meant to be confusing. It does not make it clear that the two are linked together, and you have to "accept" the both together even though there is only a toggle on the "help us make the model better" item.

I don't read this as him saying it will become factory work... He is saying that the work flows will change, like lean changed factory work. This seems like a misinterpretation of the interview?

Wow that is so cool. Fractal game of life! Is this just a very specific configuration that repeats in a fractal way?

Come on. Damaged global psyche? Seems a bit hyperbolic and unsupported by evidence.

The addressable market of rockets is considerably smaller than the addressable market selling ads... So there you go.

One property in a list of other properties. It is all a balance of attention.

some form of interoperability is already happening for some of those data types (or at least starting with portability). See the Data Transfer Initiative (dti.org)

The issue is that forced interoperability will lead to platforms creating an interoperable (and less fully-featured) version of their app to suit the regulations.

I do think that interop is important, but I think it is a harder problem than most people think.

The issue with this theory is that there is no obvious way to have both deep interoperability between apps as well as innovation.

Interoperability is a contract,and that contract will slow down product evolution and lead to worse consumer products.

There is a wider relevance here to AI, is there not? 'prior art' could be broadly interpreted?

It isnt meant to support the stock, it is a compensation pool.

People forget that stock buybacks also create a pool of equity for employee compensation, it isn't just about returning capital tax effectively

Huh? I think you are confused.

People forget that stock buybacks also created a pool of equity for employee compensation, it isn't just about returning capital tax effectively.
