    !I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.

    I feel like Toyota is consistently off here. These helicopters will not be welcomed in our cities in any sort of volume.

    I have suggested to some workers at Joby that they should have a safety design. I wish I didnt sometimes…

    First of all your in the sky at high altitude and the unexpected happens…

    What would happen if you were landing full force from a few thousand feet?

    Basically it’s not safe at all and even small commercial airplanes could use a parachute design for free landing.

    Sometimes people’s safety is key in design.

    Joe Ben is smart to not answer the most obvious question of “when”. The FAA is in control of that now. If you state that you will launch service by a given date you will have people suing you left and right, up and down, people will only want to invest the week before your launch date, not now, will be screaming at you each day for updates, etc. Best to set milestone to reach and progress and show how transparent they’ve been to date about progress.

Why historian Jill Lepore thinks Big Tech CEOs read sci-fi all wrong | Equity Podcast

Historian Jill Lepore has a theory about why tech companies often use soaring language to describe their products — almost as if they’re forming a new government.

Historian Jill Lepore has a theory about why tech companies often use soaring language to describe their products — almost as if they’re forming a new government. And whether you’re thinking of Twitter’s old “town hall in your pocket” or Anthropic’s Claude constitution, it’s a theory that doesn’t paint Silicon Valley in a very flattering light.

In Lepore’s upcoming book, The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard historian and New Yorker writer argues that tech companies are gradually taking on the functions of democratic government — whether that’s Twitter giving a distorted picture of the electorate or Facebook displacing local news. In her view, these leaders often mistake technological advancement for political progress, all while outright declaring their intention to replace the nation-state.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Anthony Ha talks with Lepore about her book and why she thinks today’s AI leaders — who promise a future where AI makes government more efficient, more responsive, and maybe even unnecessary — are selling an old fantasy in new packaging.
