    Is a pirated movie, found on bittorrent, public?

    IMO, your definition is overbroad

    Does an increased pixel count make a bad movie better?

    If the local market for American DBAs is $180k, then hiring H1B DBAs at $110k does depress wages.

    If it is a "free tier", Amazon should halt the application when it exceeds quota. Moving the account to a paid tier and charging $100k is not the right thing to do.

    When I google ANATEL, it comes up as Brazil

    "The theory (from GPT-5) is one of the most widely circulated, incorrect explanations."

    Naturally. This is how LLMs work. It regurgitates the data fed into it.

    Just brainstorming here, why can't we have "browser fonts" shipped with the browsers?

    None of that ever happened before AI. Right...

    I calculate it at 52 cents per panel (40 lbs a panel)

    Source for the cost:

    https://docs.nrel.gov/docs/fy21osti/74124.pdf one study found that disposal tipping fees at non-hazardous landfills ($26/U.S. ton) can cost less than $1 per module and less than $5 per module at hazardous waste landfills ($175/U.S. ton)

    Last time I checked, spheres are shapes.

    But the article references a "pyramid-like shape"

    Chip speed isn't as important as good software

    It's a simple question of weight ratios.

    Every open source project has the possibility of litigation. Can't always live in fear of the bogeyman

    The "plan" is to take out the contaminated code and rewrite it.

    He laughed. “AI makes my team unstoppable. Why would I want fewer unstoppable people?”

    Try "1/3". The calculator answer is not "100% accurate"

    My point is that the necessary skill set required by society is ever-changing. Skills like handwriting, spelling, and reading a map are fading from importance.

    I could see a future where pioneering might be useful again.

    It's not stealing when the original still exists. And art style is not copyrightable.

    Our current laws are made to handle AI

    Do you have the skills and knowledge to survive like a pioneer from 200 years ago?

    Technology is rapidly changing humanity. Maybe for the worse.

    But the cost of buying and holding inventory goes up. If a store has 10k shoes in inventory @ $50/each, they are carrying $500,000 in inventory. If the shoes now cost $75, they need $250k more for inventory. Capital for inventory isn't free.

    SCOTUS recently defined corporations as people, so why not AI?

    Whats your definition of "properly compensate" when dealing with hundreds of millions of artists/authors and billions/trillions of individual training items?

    Just a quick example, what's my proper compensation for this specific post? Can I set a FIVE CENTS price for every AI that learned from my post? How can I OPT-IN today?

    I'm coming from the position that current law doesn't require compensation, nor opt-in. I'm not happy with it, but I dont see any easy alternative

    * You cannot ethically use a tool that was produced by appropriating the labor of millions of people without consent. You are a bad person if you use it. *

    I disagree. When you publish your work, I can't copy it, but I can do nearly anything else I want to with it. I don't need your consent to learn from your work. I can study hundreds of paintings, learn from them, teaching myself to paint in a similar style. Copyright law allows me to do this.

    I don't think an AI, which can do it better and faster, changes the law.

    Those are mostly hardware engineers, not software engineers, right?

    OP said "Even if they needed to hire a few thousand engineers at a few million in comp each". That's where the number came from.

    Nvidia seems to pay the bulk of their engineers 200k-400k. If the fully loaded cost is 2.2, then it's closer to 440k-880k per engineer. Probably 500k would be a good number to use

    Back in 2015, they were a quarter or two from bankruptcy, saved by the XBOX and Playstation contracts. Those years saw several significant layoffs, and talent leaving for greener pastures. Lisa Su has done a great job at rebuilding the company. But not in a position to hire 2000 engineers x few million comp (~$4 billion annually) even if there were people readily available.

    "it'd still be a good investment." - that's definitely not a sure thing. Su isn't a risk taker, seems to prefer incremental growth, mainly focused on the CPU side.

    That was addressed in the article.
