This would be in addition to the 220/year Georgia EV tax so a total or 420+ per year - double paying for the same road infrastructure. Georgia also charges 330 per year for commercial EVsl. The Georgia taxes are similar to an average ICE vehicle putting about 25k miles via the gas tax on the road per year. Georgia also has a EV charging tax on the books as well where you pay a tax when getting even free L2 charging. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdor.georgia.gov%2Fdocume... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox5atlanta.com%2Fne...

Had yearly checkup with my Dr. Since I am over 50 she said "I should get a heart exam." I have no symptoms, am not over weight, normal blood pressure. The only thing I have is higher cholesterol which I don't even take medication for. I told her I wasn't interested in an unnecessary test that is equvalent to 100+ chest xras. She then said the standard line of "you get radiation from flying in a plan." Yes, I do. but not 100-500 chest xrays thank you very much. Not that with and without contrast usually results in at least 2 CT scans. In the end she insisted on making the order in her health system and said I could "just cancel it myself if I don't want it." Before I even got home from my checkup the CT scan lab had already called. It's totally a money machine which used for routine diagnostics because once this equipment is purchased it is just a fixed cost. The recurring revenue is getting keep the machine utilized as much as possible.

Not only that, the integrity of Signal does not extend to the mobile device owners machine.

Let's just be honest. Most startups (not all) are 100% focused on building something as fast a possible and then unloading in a big sale to some much larger organization at a premium. And in many acquisitions the programming, engineering, and security people from the acquiring company are not allowed to review large amounts of source code to determine all the future loses due to high technical debt. All that just gets in the way of the sale! You hope as the acquirer you can use your internal talent plus engineers incentivized to stay on long enough to fix or repair the system without it costing you a fortune. However, sometimes it can take years to fix many of the issues and in some cases you can't even fix them as they are design issues core to the implementation (systemic). So, now these startups will throw in a new dimension of even faster code development using different "prompt engineers" building parts of a system with perhaps different LLMs and there is no one to explain how any of it works. It will be an interesting situation.

He got the LLM to this response after many interactions so it would be more complete to see the full session list of prompts that got him to these final responses.

Saying you are covering a 1.5 billion loss and doing it are two different things. I imagine this is to prevent a run on the exchange which should happen since there is no deposit guarantees in the crypto currency world.

What better way to ingratiate your existing customers and generate a source of revenue then to add junk fees to your existing customers you hope to sell more AI services to...

I mean that is the real question right? Are the economics preached by AI industry a lie? I would say this puts it in serious question regardless if the actual cost was truly 1/10th or 1/4th less. What we do know is it was definitely substantially less.

Exactly my thoughts. Stolen data stolen again.

This rush to spend billions based on simple today-only technology calculations are generally doomed.

You can look to the Telecommunications Bubble of 2001 which was powered by a race to dig and install fiber optic cable by the telecoms, niche players and speculators in the early 2000s. The entire business model was based on absurd Internet data exponential growth predictions and that, in general, only one light wave signal could transmit only a single strand of fiber optic cable. That whole business model assumption drove the digging and installation of millions of miles of soon to be unneeded "dark" fiber optic cable, under sea cables, and cables on the right-of-way of train tracks and other areas that didn't even have a termination connection. The industry spent billions in infrastructure planning for a future that would not be needed for decades to come. Wavelength-division multiplexing gave existing fiber cables 100 times more capacity by just replacing transmission and receiver equipment thereby blowing the original fiber optic telecom economic model out of the water and destroying several large telecommunication companies in the process.

So instead of crashing my car it may crash my credit card. Interesting.

Well, I am thinking not web apps with AI capabilities but physical things making decisions via AI systems like you know cars, drones, medical devices, etc. that cause real physical damage or even death when there is a product that has an AI flaw. Right now Tesla has to settle expensive and drawn out lawsuits for any Autopilot failures that result in death including those not bound by Telsa's binding arbitration. However, with immunity that problem might go away.

Will the tech bros push for a Section 230 type of immunity for AI in the Communications Decency Act of 1996 to grant themselves immunity from any liability or harm caused by AI system?

The market loves it when companies fire people because they can immediate calculate the short term savings. Wall Street is short term focused so they don't really care about the long term.
