FoodNoms is an excellent food tracking app that populates nutrition information in HealthKit. It’s also an excellent iOS-native app. (No connection other than being a very happy customer.)

Whether or not cost matters much depends on your perspective. If you’re OpenAI and GPT4 is just a step on the way to AGI, and you can amortize that huge cost over the hundreds of millions in revenue you’re gonna pull in from subscriptions a

Really does feel like a “doom loop” for San Francisco. Who will write the definitive book on how everything went downhill over the past 10 or so years? Michael Lewis would entertaining. Or maybe it’s a job for Matt Levine? Who else?

This exactly. For Google LLMs are a massive business model problem first and foremost, not a technology problem. Bard was a tepid counterattack and even there it was a technology demonstration. Not really a product. Strategy tax for sure.

Typical Microsoft marketing. It's hard to get past all the buzzwords and jargon to understand what this really does. Looks like this includes summarization, translation, metadata annotation, and "auto-assembly" of documents.

But are we likely to get another 10x jump with say GPT4.5, and 10x over that with GPT5? Or is context likely to stay fixed around 32k for the foreseeable future? That is the question.
