Google stock would drop big if this new company was being funded by competitors

As what? CEO? Demis will not take up the MTS role.

The labs are all very interested in bio right now. Demis is working on Isomorphic rn (Google's version of that) but I could imagine a lab tempting him away to work on their equivalent if it had stronger momentum

if demand for "safe" tokens explodes, this is a no brainier

if open source throws a wrench into the frontier revenue growth, then its gonna be biggest bubble explosion

not going to watch this

if there is a bubble, then watch out for money supply. if it contracts because of interest rates or some random reason, then bubble will collapse.(if there was a bubble)

also iran war, nobody know what will happen if it escalates to full scale war. nothing good will happen, that's for sure.

Exactly, you need to be in the chosen group. The trusted group.

I think GPT 5.6 sol is pretty slow. I went back to 5.5

Though its been just 3 days I started using.

Half way through the chat, GPT 5.6 Sol stops and does a safety verification, pretty annoying

Folks if you believe this Ed guy, you're soon going be really disappointed.

LLMs are big, Codex app is huge. You can control the browser from within codex app with just natural language.

Tell codex to perform a few actions, you go get coffee and come back to work done. This is real boost in productivity.

How many days in a row can you do this, and then still be able to get things done when Codex is unavailable or the price has been raised to $UNAFFORDABLE?

You can't tell the critics they're completely wrong and not actually address anything they're saying, lol.

Oh you sure can. That’s all the boosters do on here.

In what country would taxi drivers revolt?

I think in most countries the drivers get paid by the taxi license holders and usually can make more money and/or more have more flexible working conditions driving for Uber.

See eg https://www.statista.com/chart/6971/fare-deal-taxi-drivers-e...

> In what country would taxi drivers revolt?

Germany.

Better the taxi drivers revolt in Germany than artists!

No, their customers revolted. If a business based on "Get in cars with random strangers" beats you in the marketplace, your business model sucks and chances are good that you do, too. That's the taxi industry in a nutshell.

The old taxi union+licensing+bully hybrid system common in many parts of the world was far worse than the cruelest thing uber could do.

>I was betting on the taxi drivers revolting, but the capital markets have prevailed

Capital Markets found in favor of giant corporation Uber instead of giant corporation Cabcharge.
