  • It’s more complex than that.

    The way the US is spread out makes public transit prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve proper coverage. To make it effective, you would have to shift the entire way we live. Our entire society is built off the concept that everyone has a car.

    Add to the fact that building transit is extra expensive in the US and you arrive at the reality that we will NEVER have a working transit system. That’s why the shift to small cars is needed. We don’t have any more room for roads, so we need more cars to fit in the roads we have









  • Crypto is still incredibly healthy. Bitcoin has been stable at $30k.

    Is it still a big scam? Maybe. But what happened with FTX was just good ol corruption.

    Anyone with exposure to Crypto either already collapsed, or wound down their position, so there wasn’t a huge effect on markets. AI will be similar. Some VC will fail, but it’s not the same as the dotcom bubble. It won’t cause a recession

    OpenAI may fail if Microsoft doesn’t keep throwing money at it, but they already got what they want out of it. They’ll probably just end up acquiring the foundation and make money from the ways they’re implementing it in their products.



  • Microsoft reported profitability in their AI products last quarter, with a substantial gain in revenue from it.

    It won’t take long for them to recoup their investment in OpenAI.

    If OpenAI has been more responsible in how they released ChatGPT, they wouldn’t be facing this problem. Just completely opening Pandora’s box because they were racing to beat everyone else out was extremely irresponsible and if they go bankrupt because of it then whatever.

    There’s plenty of money to be made in AI without everyone just fighting over how to do it in the most dangerous way possible.

    I’m also not sure nVidia is making the right decision trying their company to AI hardware. Sure, they’re making mad money right now, but just like the crypto space that can dry up instantly.



  • The bug with Rattlers is that sometimes the cluster munitions inside the missile don’t get restocked. That’s most likely why you see this happening.

    I remember when Rattlers worked well 😃 and everyone was spamming them, but that was many years ago. Missiles in general started working better again in 3.18, but they’re still pretty hit-or-miss. And NPCs will target and shoot them now! so Rattlers might be the way to go (too many projectiles for them to get them all).
