I find this Substack useful, so I subscribed, but I would caution against referring to the Floridi conjecture. First, it's a conjecture, so it's unproven and may be proven false. Second, even if it is broadly true (as I suspect it is) the conjecture as stated almost certainly won't hold, because it posits a specific mathematical relationship between two more or less arbitrary proxies for precision and scope. It is not a robust statement of the proposition. Referring to the efficient compute frontier is, I think, enough.

Agree. The only question is when will reality set in? I predict within a month, after the impact of tariffs sinks the economic indicators and stock market. Then fear will take over and the bubble will burst the fever dreams of Musk fans. Tesla and xAI are doing badly, and no one will want FSD or robots.

Tesla car sales are circling the drain. Tesla has litigation building up where they hey are clearly settling and losing cases at $XX million and $XXX million. If sales continue declining and margins keep declining. The business will bleed cash. Declining cash streams makes suppliers reluctant to extend credit causing even more cash burn. This will get ugly fast. Meanwhile Elon wants tesla to buy XAi for billions so he can fill his wallet….
