1000%. If your business case involves technical differentiation then build an AI stack. If your differentiation is something that can’t be replicated by someone else using OAI then you’re in the clear to use OAI. If your only differentiatio

My observation is that there were recent (2022/2023) layoffs that have now flooded the job market in tech with lots of unfortunately mediocre candidates. Therefore, it is both challenging to hire and challenging to find a job. I don’t

Data access has weaker network effects than you would expect. Generated chats / outputs are rarely good enough as training data, the "best"/"cleanest" data is still expert-created.

In the last year, they have developed what they call a “product” focus. But they still do more basic research, good luck getting a GPU allocation though.

Hard disagree. My guess is that AI is actually a race-to-the-bottom dynamic. Given the competition across all/every FAANG and tons of startups, my guess is we’ll have a wide range of options for APIs across clouds and providers. On the

Procedurally generated environments require very, very little storage space (you essentially need to store a few hundred seeds and parameters) and for most games nowadays, storage is actually the biggest bottleneck of all (not just HDD but

I’m sorry, why should sellers be fined for cash discounts? Owning a credit card is not a legal right, it’s a privately owned transaction processing network. If my daughter sells lemonade on the street corner and asks that you tip her with t

But don’t you think that’s the first thing that 3M’s counsel looked at to try and prove their innocence? Take the veteran incidence of hearing less divided by the population level incidence of hearing loss and see if that ratio went up afte

They are working on this. All the major clouds have initiatives to do short term requests/reservations. It’s just not a feature that has ever been of much use pre-GenAI. How often do you need to request 1000 CPU nodes for 48 hours in a

Interesting to hear that the high school debate world is just like it was when I went to high school 20 years ago. I became somewhat radical and left wing through my debate experience and then took action on it in college (participated in l
