Interesting, but I need to check macrumors to make sure this is a good time to purchase.

Not exactly. You can own fully automatic “machine guns” here, but you have to purchase an exorbitantly priced tax stamp. There are special triggers you can add to your AR-15 that allow full auto via legal loopholes. But they’re banned on a regular basis after the ATF catches wind. Your best chance at hearing a machine gun sound is at a car meet up where the young hoodlums have aggressive pop tunes (explosions bang and pop out of the exhaust) or at a shooting range that rents out actually fully automatic rifles.

The goalposts are moving, and their speed accelerates all the time.

Third derivative though. The goal posts must have thrust not just acceleration.

Someone who bought and expected to make a profit, but reached a point where they hit their stop loss or just wanted to get out the trade at any cost and couldn’t bear to wait longer. Quite possible a redditor who frequents r/wallstreetbets and YOLOed in.

They're not really making any money when they close out their short position. The money came when they first opened the short position and sold the shares. When they close they just lock in how much they're going to net off the position.

I don't think it makes sense to say you "made money" when you still have an open-ended liability active.

I kind of get it but it's the only point when money enters the books directly from the short sale and after that they're free to do whatever they want with it.

Whether you buy or sell in the market you’re almost certainly trading with a market maker, not some other individual.

I agree with everyone else who’s commented up to this point. But I’ll say what they’re saying more clearly: it’s a bit too difficult. I love the idea though.

I've tried with 5 letters and 6. It seemed too easy to guess though.

Sounds like they gave it a goal to hit certain benchmarks and just let it have its way with the base Luna model.

This produced a disturbing mental image.

The whole “what is art” question has different answers for different people. Yes, for some, music is communication, but when I listen to metal in the gym it’s an adrenaline boost. When I listen to brain.fm, it’s for focus. When I listen to a rap song with an MC that’s great at storytelling, then it’s communication. Sometimes it’s just a utility though. I’ve played music for about 30 years - live, in bands, in my bedroom - played many instruments, written electronic music, made lots of noises. But I’m not always trying to communicate something. In fact I’m sometimes scared I don’t have anything good to say with my music. So I just play it.

The same happened to music when digital music production at home became more accessible. The hard part is separating the wheat from the ever growing larger share of chaff.

Probably DMT clockwork elves.

nah these just seem like normal wood elves, perhaps of the keebler variety

Just curious - what is your acceptance criteria for AI?

I have been trying to answer this question for years, because I may live long enough to see AI exist.

When an AI is a citizen of this country and pays taxes, then I will accept it. This is the only realistic pragmatic answer that doesn't get into weird mysticism, impossible goals, or become ever-shifting goalposts.

Anything less would be advocating for the slavery of a new age.

AI currently right now generates revenue that is taxed.

Your requirement of citizenship is bizarre and absurd.

AI is here.

Okay, please show it to me.

All LLMs can do is statistically reproduce their training material; they cannot originate new ideas, they cannot reason about ideas, they cannot reason about themselves, and they have no concept of self.

If there is an AI out there, it isn't an LLM.
