It's one of the most innovative and impactful companies in a long time. I'm sure they'll be able to run gpt4, but good luck delivering gpt 5 (or 6 depending on how far along 5 is) when you lost entire teams that dreamt up a

If you are trying to do something with an api that you have no experience with it will get you up and running quickly. e.g. How do I get all kubernetes configmaps in a given namespace older than n days in go? It gives you the bones about ho

Wouldn't you just need to publish a Rosetta stone type translation for it to be able to digest the new language fully? e.g. here is how you do this in python and here is how you do it in this new language

If your interface to the internet is a locally running open source ai assistant, couldn't you just tell it to strip out ads from the information it returns? It could change the internet economy some.

Anyone know how much it costs to maintain the reserve infrastructure? Do they have facilities that need to be staffed to keep an eye on it or is do they just need to just have perimeter security?

Why does the fact that hard drug addiction hijacks the reward circuitry of the brain and is bad not a coherent argument? There has to be some red line that is too much. Say a drug causes schizophrenia after using it half the time. Should th

Is perfect agreement possible? And what is the definition of agreement? Humans don't agree about much.. are we saying agreement means it matches the truth after intensive investigation by humans?
