In B2B one B has to have an actual source of revenue to justify paying the other B. What is that source of revenue? Hoping someone else will figure out a reason to use it isn't a business model.

It's not the 2010's anymore. Market interest in unprofitable tech companies has waned.Plus OpenAI's organizational structure makes it a poor candidate for an IPO. Maybe MS will buy it, but honestly there's little reason

Honestly that doesn't seem too promising as a business prospect. It's essentially an admission that they have a solution but haven't found a problem warranting their initial investment. Even in your case, how will the API gen

Does anyone have any idea how ChatGPT will actually make money? As novel as it is to use with all the "potential" applications, the possible revenue streams don't seem to prop up the recent investments into OpenAI. We've

The other thing to consider is that data simply has nothing of value. Part of the marketing of big data is the almost fairy tale belief in "insights" existing in any data set if you just look hard enough.

Hopefully no one interprets this study as "vitamin D lowers the risk of suicide". This study does not make that claim nor does it suggest their conclusions infer a broader correlation in the general population.

Regulation isn't necessary to silence debates on unpopular wars (the past 20 yrs provides ample examples). "Freedom of speech" like the "public interest" isn't easily definable. Companies like Meta and Twitter

These self-indulgent "I'm not happy with my high paying job" posts are getting pretty repetative and tedious. Most people don't actually work to get "fulfilled". I guess this must resonate as freedom-porn.

Happiness is similar to the word "freedom" , in that it can mean anything to anyone (with freedom used in equal measure by rebels, despots and used car salesmen). Words like these are more used for emotional aesthetics rather than

Happiness is overrated. Having your own individual culture center around self-satisfaction limits your scope as a person. Being responsible, cultivating your abilities, furthering your beliefs and values, can make you pretty miserable, but

Do you love targeted pricing too? Like user X is more likely to buy product Y so make the price +10%. It’s a good thing that targeted pricing is illegal in many places, but oh wait, there’s an AI pricing layer which cannot be reverse engin

The point of crypto is speculation and has been for some time. If you're buying it with fiat and then selling it for fiat you're always going to be subject to unregulated exchanges. No one is using this stuff as currency. There&#x
