@sjanus_pl @david_zhang_sf @polydaic So only $1T+ short LOL

[William @wedoug]

@david_zhang_sf @polydaic And xAI has no money LOL

How do you think xAI is going to pay for a 1.5T acquisition when they can't even afford GPUs?

[William @wedoug]

@RabbitsJustice @iwantlambo $50? Why would you pay a tech multiple for a declining sales clothing company?

[William @wedoug]

@iwantlambo It's a $50B clothing company. How much do your really think a sports clothing company should be worth?

[William @wedoug]

@deejayalexramos @AmericanAir Huh? Looks completely normal. The cabin names and fare names aren't the same.

Main, Main Extra, Premium Economy, Premium
Basic Economy, Main, Main Select, First

The "Mains" aren't the same thing. Basic economy is in the main cabin.

@hamids @ShahiniAli Which is far less likely to happen:

1. Businesses stop advertising after 5000 years?
2. People stop using Google after 30 years of constantly using Google?
3. Memory supply expands relative to demand after 1 year of tight supply?

[William @wedoug]

@marjuxcy @ASTR0ZOMBIEZ They don't. That's not a typical price. You can probably find business class tickets for like $5-10K.

[William @wedoug]

@Deenobrown123 @RedwolfTesla @grok Who cares? Then it will be worth 400 billion lol.

To other mega cap tech companies will make 400 billion every 3 years, likely for a very very long time.

The other companies have massive user base locked in. There is no micron ecosystem.

@SukaruAnow @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme Getting robots up stairs is trivial when they aren't trying to walk like human. Heck, my dogs and cats are way quicker up stairs than a human and way safer.

[William @wedoug]

@SukaruAnow @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme I'm saying the world is not optimized for the human body, it's optimized for human hands (and eyes).

Not the chest, not the shoulders, not the feet, not the knees, not the neck.

You don't need any of those to do the vast majority of things perfectly fine.

[William @wedoug]

@pinebarrensgps @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme Also, wouldn't a chimp actually be a superior form? Shouldn't we create robot chimps?

[William @wedoug]

@pinebarrensgps @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme Missing the point. The point is that the human body doesn't do much other than help you position your hands.

A human body is not the ideal way to get hands where they need to be. The human body only seems amazing because it's infinitely more capable than anything we can build.

[William @wedoug]

@pinebarrensgps @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme No, they are designed for human hands. The rest of your body does very little in your home other than help you position your hands.

A person bound to wheelchair only able to move a joystick and use his hands will get more cleaning done that a gymnast without hands.

[William @wedoug]

@SukaruAnow @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme No, you've optimized tools around human hands. Most of the body does very little other than position the hands.

[William @wedoug]

@AxelBuildsStuff @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme But it's not a human with human physiology, so it's not logical to assume it should have the design of one.

It's not even clear we will even be able to create one with the capability of a human because we are made of vastly more complex systems and tissue.

[William @wedoug]

@mukund @oknomofomo @Muse His point is that you really don't have that much to do. In fact, you have so little to do you're posting on X.

The average person has very little need for an assistant. In fact, the average person isn't wealthy enough to get good results from an assistant.

[William @wedoug]

@jwestonharvey @laninoel @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme Human hands/fingers/dexterity on something that has 4 extendable arms, neck, wheels, 4 legs, 360 vision, and joints with unlimited degrees of freedom?

Seriously, why would you want a robot that can't rotate 360 at the waist? What is the benefit of turning around like a human?

[William @wedoug]

@devagrawal09 Why wouldn't it?

The more general model will have access to more information.

It's also foolish to assume a domain specific model will in fact have *all* relevant domain specific information. Math exists in places far beyond math books, for example.

[William @wedoug]

@laninoel @Pe1per @maheen_sohail @nicbstme When was the last time you built something to stand on 2 legs?

When was the last time you wanted to move something heavy and thought it would be better without 4 wheels?

Why do we have hand rails on stairs?

Human hands and dexterity are important. The rest of the body not.

[William @wedoug]

@nicbstme @maheen_sohail That's really not true. The day-to-day world has been designed around human hands and dexterity.

The rest of the human body is far from ideal for the majority of things. Very limited degrees of motions, very unstable, limited height adjustment, limited flexibility.
