He is saying it’s irrelevant to the future of the company. Obviously it still has material impact on the current revenue. Sony is going to stop selling disks by 2028. So, new software essentially has to be materially irrelevant by then and used software will likely drop consistently after.

    Idk why everyone is making fun of this. Sony made it very clear that games are going all digital. Gamestop has to take it seriously and they have been pivoting to collectables for a while now, so they are clearly on top of this. Maybe the pivot works, maybe it doesn’t, but they aren’t just sticking their head in the sand and pretending everything is fine.

    It’s honestly not the rocket business that is the problem. Yeah, it’s risky, but it’s actually ambitious and starlink makes money. So, they have a money making product that could actually fund development of a real reusable rocket.

    The actual problem is the AI money pit they slapped on to the side. The amount of money XAI spends is so insane it’s like 80% of the whole capex. Which most people dont realize because it’s still called spacex, but in reality the whole space business has become the side project for an AI company burning money at an unprecedented rate.

    You were taught incorrectly then, I grew up catholic as well (also now atheist) and it was made very clear to me that it is not symbolic, it is an actual transformation. This is directly from the US conference of catholic bishops website: Is the Eucharist a symbol? The transformed bread and wine are truly the Body and Blood of Christ and are not merely symbols.

    I remember very specifically that learning this official belief being one of the things that made me start questioning my religion. Like I can very clearly see that no transformation is happening so, it started making me question everything else they were telling me.

    Lmao, it’s more like “we can’t put it into a handheld because it’s idle power draw is around 25 watts”

    Unless they did some unbelievable optimization, the rtx spark is basically the same chip as the dgx spark which idles at 25w.

    To be clear, We don’t really know the architecture or model size of claude or chatgpt. If opus is a 1 trillion parameter dense model, then yes of course it’s going to be way more expensive to run than deepseak which is an 862 billion parameter MoE model. American models have focused on being the best regardless of cost where chinese model makers were forced to focus on efficiency because of lack of access to chips. Which will probably give them an advantage as the free investor money runs out for the american companies.

    The constant training is simply how AI works and will continue to work chinese or american. That cost will never go away. Anytime you need your model to learn new skills or gain new knowledge, it needs to be trained.

    It’s still an operating system. Not implementing something is saying “this OS is not to be used in a country / state with age verification laws” Basically baring anyone in california or wherever implements these laws from using the OS in a legal way. I suspect most of these OS’s (even ones that are not “under US jurisdiction”) are going to eventually do something like when you install it asks where you are located and if its in a location where age verification is required it installs the age verification system.
