written language isn't a language, it's a notation. it's just a concise way to represent a waveform (a spoken sentence). and it's certainly one dimensional because you either read forwards or backwards
A tech startup, Frontier Valley, wants Donald Trump to sign an executive order to "Reclaim the federal plot of land in West Alameda and will approve of the immediate development of Frontier Valley". This includes a 512 acre plot in West Alameda that will have housing for up to 10,000 residents, 3M square feet of office space, 5M square feet of manufacturing space, and an 80 acre waterfront park with views of San Francisco.
"This zone aims to offer the most expedited regulatory code in the US for accelerating deeptech breakthroughs in verticals that are critical to US national security and technological supremacy."
This guy wants Trump to sign an executive order to take back land that has already been given to the city, and then hand it over to him, so that he can build this... whatever it is? Get outta here.
1. I question whether Trump has the legitimate authority to do this, even if he declares a national emergency (as the proposal requests). So it would be tied up in court for an extended period... unless the city doesn't fight it.
2. The city will fight it, unless they think it's going to work, thereby bringing in large numbers of jobs and lots of tax revenue. They might fight it anyway, just because having the Federal government take city land is a really bad precedent.
3. This guy (James Ingallinera, but from all I see he's just some guy) has no particular experience at making something like this actually work. He's just some random guy. Does anybody have any confidence that anything will actually come of this, even if Trump bought it?
4. What does this say about where we are as a country, that we have random people asking the president to take 500 acres from someone else by executive order, and to give it to them? That has way too much of a "random peasants petitioning the king for favor" vibe for my bred-in-a-democracy taste.
A lot of openAI followers are just people who listen to pop-tech podcasts or watch TikTok get-rich-quick schemes. It’s not limited to programmers in the same way crypto isn’t.
I interpreted "aware" in OP as if only people truly in the know were aware of OpenAI. A lot of oblivious grandpas have probably heard of ChatGPT at this point.
Another macro point, I don't know OP's age but this vision of Silicon Valley as a tiny subset of nerds in the shadows tinkering is way out of date. The biggest public companies on the planet are all here, and a lot of people have spent the last 10+ years trying to break into tech for the monetary rewards, especially among the terminally online crypto zealots who spend all day chasing the next get quick rich scheme, which just so happens to be AI applications currently.
A lot of these people are also fundamentally clueless.
