Whether that's relevant to the conversation depends on what their prompt was.

This whole debacle was kicked off by Farage accepting and not declaring a £5m gift from a crypto billionaire living in Thailand, with Farage having engaged in meetings with the Bank of England over cryptocurrencies, and specifically promoting the coin the crypto billionaire invested in. Really, I'm not sure you can get worse.

Most entertainment industries have very strong union presence.


I'm fairly certain there would be no Classic WoW without private servers to show Blizzard there was a demand. They seemed embarrassed about the entire concept.

Same with emulation, really; had that not been developed, I doubt Nintendo would care about their back catalogue.


Blizzard has become a greedy and insidious org. I genuinely dislike the way they do business and implement systems to keep players playing their games as chores rather than for fun. They charge huge money for trivial things, and their support is entirely useless.


> Same with emulation, really; had that not been developed, I doubt Nintendo would care about their back catalogue.

I agree with the previous point (no WoW classic without private server), I'm a bit more doubtful about Nintendo. They did remakes before it was cool (see: Super Mario All Stars), and the Super Nintendo -> Gameboy Advance pipeline was well received.


The problem with having a public trust score is that it'll be gamed by bad actors A/B testing their bots surely.


In a world where this is useful, you aren't going to be spending your precious battery on running an LLM...


Solar cells work no matter what, I agree that maybe less processing is more useful but LLM is uniqely useful as well


Well yeah, but, hypothetically speaking (and just for the sake of pure curiosity) - what about "no sun" scenario, such as nuclear winter or something similar?


Well, yes, in that edge case it probably wouldn't be worth the energy usage.


There is a point where you have bigger problems then your smartphone or laptop


This is not true for me. I would want an LLM after the apocalypse. I'd become like the Wizard of Oz, the all-knowing oracle.


No need for a battery, you just need someone to hit the pedals on that dynamo.


Horrific. Completely ruins the art direction.


Frankly the other cofounders are just as bad as Thiel but don't draw the headlines quite as much.

"Yesterday, Palantir founder Joe Lonsdale agreed with an X post suggesting communists in the Western hemisphere should be blown up. “Exactly,” he wrote. “What did you think founding Palantir was supposed to be about?”" - https://responsiblestatecraft.org/defense-companies-maduro/

"“We support warfare and we are proud of it,” Karp stated bluntly during the conversation with German media outlet Heise.de." - https://zetbit.tech/news/209/pentagon-backing-palantir-ceo-k...

"In a CNBC interview Thursday, Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp opined that AI will undermine the influence of “highly educated, often female voters” and empower working class men instead. And anyone who doesn’t realize this political reality, he added, belongs in an “insane asylum.”" - https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ceo-palantir-ai...


They're all certifiable.


AI is the final season of embrace, extend, extinguish. It's why Microsoft are so enthusiastic about it.
