Marc Andreessen says AI may be a race to the bottom, where selling intelligence turns out to be like selling rice, because it could turn out that anyone can make an LLM and no-one has any moat
@elonmusk Couldn't agree more, Elon. It's as though the blockchain has opened the door to a whole new dotcom boom and bust, without much substance. This too, will pass.
Where will @larrybrilliant be at 1pm PT on 11/1? At FiRe 21, of course, on “ERADICATING #COVID19: Is It Possible?” with Chair Mark Anderson. Larry is fun, no-BS & you can count on his Covid chops. To register for FiRe week, 11/1-11/5, go to https://t.co/BWTwK1m14c. Agenda soon.

@MrKRudd You are right, Kevin. Australia needs to find a new political relationship with the mining and resource companies. Here is a radical thought - before there is fighting in the streets, can resource cos really lead? Doubtful.
Donald , you screwed up by letting Huawei off the hook. I can’t explain how shallow and poorly thought through this self-defeating gesture was. I didn’t think the @realDonaldTrump would cave to wanting your pal Xi to be happy, — or your pal Tim at Apple, moving mfg to China.
I am in South Korea now. President Moon and I have “toasted” our new Trade Deal, a far better one for us than that which it replaced. Today I will visit with, and speak to, our Troops - and also go to the the DMZ (long planned). My meeting with President Moon went very well!
By agreeing to weaken restrictions on #Huawei, Trump not only undermined his own government, he undermined the entire argument #Huawei is a real national security threat. #facepalm https://t.co/BzuM8QA0Na
