@benthompson even pronounces xkcd xyzd #stratechery

I've been listening to this discussion about #AI risks between #Stratechery's #BenThompson and #AndrewSharp. It is a really insightful and rational conversation that is worth listening to if you can.

I have a paid subscription to #Stratechery so this might be limited to paid subscribers.

#BenThompson
#Stratechery
#TheNextBigThing
#SVB

My take away from this article by Ben Thompson is that

1) There is no Next Big Thing in technology
2) This has changed the way Silicon Valley denizens view their economy from an inevitably expanding ecosystem to a Zero Sum Game.

really great #stratechery today, putting the lie to the primary overhiring narrative we're seeing around tech layoffs. Drives home how much commentary on this issue is just people repeating messaging they heard from someplace else https://stratechery.com/2023/tech-layoffs-big-techs-hiring-rates-microsofts-vr-layoffs/

@thelinuxEXP .. good article here from #stratechery that covers the history the #ConsoleWars and how the business models have shifted with each console generation:

Delegating content moderation on a per-instance basis is one of the most intriguing premises of the #fediverse. Moderation is never easy, but does the "you deal w/your jerks + I'll deal w/mine" principle help?

It's quite interesting to reread this 2019 #stratechery essay thru this lens:

"User-facing platforms are the ones that should make these calls, not infrastructure providers. But if they won’t, someone needs to. So Cloudflare did."

Good run down of gaming, consoles and competition on #stratechery. Good context re: #FTC case against #Microsoft acquisition of #Activision Blizzard. https://stratechery.com/2022/consoles-and-competition/

#ChatGPT doesn’t have any internal record of right and wrong, but rather a statistical model about what bits of language go together under different contexts.
