A Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI Bubble

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-28 11:04:23

"The competition for AGI—AI that surpasses humans at all cognitive tasks—is of fundamental geopolitical importance." That's The Economist, last week. Not some breathless tech blogger or venture capitalist talking their book. The world's most prestigious economic publication. Notice the framing - it treats AGI as a foregone geopolitical contest. They're not wrong about the competition. They're just wrong about what we're competing for. I started coding again last year. First time in 13 years.

In Rare Spasm of Sanity, Pentagon Backtracks on Plan to Scuttle Storm Tracking

In a stunning reversal, the Pentagon said it will uphold a longstanding program that supplies critical hurricane data to federal forecasters—just days before it was set to end. The move follows outcry from meteorologists and public officials blindsided by the planned cancellation at the start of hurricane season. In June, the Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) announced it was shutting down the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program by Thursday, July 31. DMSP w

It has some impressive specs, with big 1-inch sensors, 8K video at 50 frames per second and 120-megapixel photos. The 360 camera market certainly isn't crowded.

We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de
