Europe@feddit.org•Elon Musk said the EU "should be abolished" after his social network X was finedEnglish
191·2 months agoTwitter’s biggest asset is its market dominance. People can’t leave Twitter because all their followers are also on Twitter. If Twitter were to be banned in the EU, that would be a big market share where a competitor could emerge. Since said competitor would not be constrained to the EU, once a new market leader of the EU market emerges, it would soon challenge Twitter in the US and internationally.

3·2 months agoWell, we’re still at least one breakthrough away from AGI, and we don’t even know how it will go from there. Could be that humans are already near the maximum of what is possible intelligence wise. As in, the smartest being possible is not that much smarter than the average human. In which case, AGI taking over the world would not be a given.
Essentially, talking about the threat posed by ASI is like talking about the threat posed by Cthulhu.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarterEnglish
1·2 months agoMarket cap is just share price times the number of shares. Can potentially be completely divorced from how well your company is actually doing. Conversely, a drop or rise in market cap doesn’t have to mean your company is doing better or worse. If you’re selling shovels, you still have the money when the music stops.
