When does circular financing stop? Similar to a Ponzi Scheme, when cash outflows become greater than inflows. In this last quarter, NVDA cash grew by only ~600, and now ~95% of its operating cash flow

Wonder what fraction of those liking this realized it was a joke 🤣 There's a lot of excitement about OpenAI's resolution of the unit distance conjecture. In this thread I will discuss the striking app

Politicians who boost AI do not represent the views of their constituents. New polling in the UK shows: - Most people think AI will destroy more jobs than it creates (57% v 17%) - 7 in 10 are worried

just as i feared AI can be a powerful tool for opening people up to new perspectives, yet we find that people actually prefer to use “sycophantic” AI systems that reinforce their pre-existing beliefs.
