In 10 years you will say the same thing about today :)

Interesting it's the first time I hear about it, just read a summary of how it works. Is it used anywhere that you know of?

Also, who can be the exchange in practice? Banks?

Yep, will be waiting for published third party security audit results and compliance reports. About open-source he said :

Correct! It's not open source and at least for the foreseeable future, I'm planning on keeping it closed. Like JG mentioned, because of internal audit requirements that I'll be going through in Visa and MC over the next few months, I need to ease that pain as much as possible. They treat open source finance products with increased scrutiny.

Probably

Out from one fire into another...

2018 was a full 2 years before that point, and back then AI was still primarily stuff like OpenCV, Pytorch projects, etc. that were things you could legitimately run on one or two workstation GPUs or even a cheap tensor core a

It was around the time when OpenAI showcased OpenAI five. At that time I was still playing Dota 2 and I found it really impressive. Here's a decent summary video

It's mostly novelty. But wears off eventually when you start noticing very obvious patterns emerge in the way it answers and quality degrades significantly as context size grows. It also will always talk to you in the way YOU tell it to which also becomes boring as time goes on.

It's always funny to me how people on the news talk about AI partners and so on when you know if they have 2 brain-cells, next month they will drop this whole stupid idea. When you're talking to it about your problems you're just talking with yourself.

I switched to posteo. 1eur / month, does the job. Also use Thunderbird on mobile.

If people plan on switching my recommendation is not to do it all at once. Create the new email account and then slowly when you use accounts or buy something online point to the new account. It's also a good idea since you start a fresh email account to not give your email to just any random websites or services. For this I use firefox email relay that I also pay 1$ per month.

Your idea that profit is simply the extraction of value from those doing the work ignores the role of risk. The factory owner provides the initial capital, buys the machines, secures supply chains, finds the right workers, organizes everything and takes the risk of bankruptcy. If the company fails, the workers lose their jobs, but the owner loses their investment. Therefore profit is the reward for taking on that financial risk and organizing the resources efficiently. Also, some of that profit will need to be reinvested into the factory or new factories.

Being honest, it just sounds like western companies being upset that they don’t get to exploit cheap Chinese labor for the benefit of western capitalists.

They want to use China as a sweatshop that they profit from, rather than letting Chinese companies profit themselves.

I don’t really see the issue with it, as a consumer. I’d rather the origin of the product got to keep more of the proceeds rather than letting some western capitalist skim more off the top, especially if that means cheaper goods for consumers.

That's a really limiting way of seeing things. Not all companies are bad and not all of them want to EXPLOIT cheap labor just because they want to manufacture in China and there are companies (especially in Europe) that go the length of making sure that the products are made fairly (i.e Fairphone) and people are paid a livable wage. I think this will be more and more important as we go into the future and people become slowly more conscious of what they're buying.

I don't really get it, in the chart "Installed grid-scale battery capacity in gigawatts, 2025"

Europe barely has like 17GW in total but later on below they say:

In Europe, it sees batteries that are already online or nearing completion as likely to benefit most, with capacity seen rising from about 50 gigawatts in 2025 to 75 gigawatts by year-end.

What is this big discrepancy? Is the second part talking about batteries not connected to the grid or something (not grid-scale?)
