Nvidia direct silicon revenue is higher. Also Nvidia's margins are higher which means that they will be willing to pay a higher unit price. This seems like an open and closed case from TSMC's side.

OpenAI has #5 traffic levels globally. Their product-market fit is undeniable. The question is monetization. Their cost to serve each request is roughly 3 orders of magnitude higher than conventional web sites. While it is clear people see

Never forget the continual parade of "experts" when the chip ban was being promoted who all said in unison: "China is 20 years behind" Horribly dishonest. But they all talked in lockstep: lawmakers + "experts".

Huge fan that Gemini-3 prompted OAI to ship this. Competition works! GDPval seems particularly strong. I wonder why they held this back. 1) Maybe this is uneconomical ? 2) Did the safety somehow hold back the company ? looking forward to th

Measuring the value is very difficult. However there are proxies (of varying quality) which are measured, and they are showing that AI code is clearly better than copy-pasted code (which used to be the #1 source of lines of code) and at lea

Two claims here: 1) LLMs have failed to live up to the hype. Maybe. Depends upon's who's hype. But I think it is fine to say that we don't have AGI today (however that is defined) and that some people hyped that up. 2) LLMs h

Well of course it is not enough. This is well known. "Success" is hard to nail down. Is it academic success? SES succes? Job performance? It's all over the map. However we know that : IQ is correlated with the above somewhere

What? The 4.5 and 5.1 columns aren't thinking in Google's report? That's a scandal, IMO. Given that Gemini-3 seems to do "fine" against the thinking versions why didn't they post those results? I get that PMs l

Big if true. I'll wait for the official blog with benchmark results. I suspect that our ability to benchmark models is waning. Much more investment required in this area, but what is the play out?

Bard was horrible compared to the competition of the time. Gemini 1.0 was strictly worse than GPT-3.5 and was unusable due to "safety" features. Google followed that up with 1.5 which was still worse than GPT-3.5 and unbelievably

It seems like there is a very strong correlation between identity politics and "AI skepticism." I have no idea why. I don't think that the correlation is 1, but it seems weirdly high.
