I hate how all AI hype is predicated on "if we can just make this not be broken then it would be an amazing product"
And because AI produced things look kinda close to the real deal people buy it. Cause it feels like it just needs a small improvement, even though it's flaws are a fundamental part of the technology
Just don't draw the weird 6th finger. Just don't make up things when you don't have a real answer. Just don't change the environment in an AI generated game entirely if the player turns around 180 degrees
These things *feel* like they're small, solvable problems to people who don't know better. We could easily fix those things if humans were doing the work!
But AI can't. It will never be able to. It can't because not doing those things means it couldn't do anything else either. Like fusion, the solution to these issues will always be 20 years out
In case you aren't Spanish and you don't live in a country with a king, just so you know, the king visited Valencia (the city heavily affected by the Dana and still fighting to clean the streets, rescue survivors if any and retrieving deceased victims)... Making it difficult for the actual volunteers and rescue services to work. He needed a "protecting" team around including police and similar, that blocked the access of the volunteers in many affected areas.

Terrible idea: a scifi story set in a early-20th century idea of the solar system.
Mars is a dying desert covered in canals to bring water from the poles to the sand cities at the equator.
Venus is a humid jungle/swamp full of strange beasts.
Both are fully habitable by humans with no more gear than you'd need to cross the Sahara or venture into the rainforest.
The trick? This is actually a distant future realistic setting. We terraformed the planets specifically to be like that.

To put a billionaire in perspective, it's more interesting to think about the income than the capital. You can get a 5% annual return from some fairly low-risk investments (and you can further reduce risk by spreading your money across a load of these). You can often get higher, but 5% is a fairly good baseline.
If you start with $1bn and do nothing clever, you can get an income of $50 M per year by doing nothing. Even with the kind of 95% tax rate that we had for the highest income levels when The Beatles sang about it, that leaves you with $2.5M/year in income.
That's enough to buy a nice house every year, with no mortgage. It's a disposable income of almost $7K. It's enough to take a first-class transatlantic flight every day.
And that's just one billion.
Even with a 95% tax rate on investment income and a conservative investment strategy, someone with a billion dollars would have a daily disposable income that's more than the monthly income of anyone in the bottom 99% of earners, without having to work.
Now try these calculations again with real tax rates and Musk or Bezos' wealth.
