But the 15 millions includes free users and companies purchasing seats in bulk, no? Very impressive growth for sure (they doubled in around a month?), but we don’t know the ratio of paying seats

Do we know this as a fact? Do we have proofs it is profitable? I haven’t seen any evidence so far, it’s mostly something repeated and accepted as fact

Money and value exist in all economical systems and has existed in some form since immemorial times, that has literally nothing to do with capitalism, an ideology developed over the past 250y or so

I honestly don’t know and feel very conflicted about my own ideology. I recognize how broken it is at scale, but also value the personal autonomy, entrepreneurship, nonconformity capitalism promotes. Though my version of capitalism isn’t th

In VC investing there is the saying that most of the value comes from the outliers. I think it’s the same for a lot of domains. I read an interesting article recently on LLMs homogeneity when writing fiction: https://arxiv.org&#x

You’re doing a great job so far, I tried a few similar CAD generation services and yours generated the best results I’ve seen so far. It’s also really fast

I’m a capitalist, but the only conclusion I can arrive at is that neo liberal capitalism makes it impossible to « do the right thing ». What we have is the logical result of the incentives at play

You can only control your own actions. Reducing your meat consumption by like 80% is very low effort. It’s honestly ridiculous that still has to be argued about

What I’m saying is that AI labs are talking so much about software and maths because we already have tools that can say « it’s all good ». That makes it possible and worth it for them to spend 1 week of compute on a problem until the valida

Thank you!

They can rely on compilers, solvers, theorem provers to validate the generated softwares and maths. That’s what makes it possible to iterate quickly in a loop and self correct. You cannot do that in soft industries like legal and medicine

That’s how HN works, I had that multiple times over the years with my own submissions. Sometimes it gets picked up quickly, sometimes not. A post can also down rank very, very fast. It depends a lot on the level of engagement and the type o

Given their recommendations they know close to nothing about my tastes :) Their recommendation engine feels very naive, you’re in a cohort based on the genre of films you watch, a that’s pretty much it (I’m sure there is more details in pra

Actually, not DC builders themselves, but companies that manufacture fairly specific parts used by DCs, like the massive gas turbines they’ve been using. I’m not familiar with that part of the industry but would assume that has to be a busi

That works for your specific example, not for music, atmosphere, actor performance, editing, sound effects, and all the other things that make a movie something I would be interested to watch. I’m not saying they have to give us an extremel

I don’t think that works well for movies and tv shows because there is way less datapoints than music (they are way longer, meaning we don’t consume that many films/episodes). A song is also generally more focused, you generally have o

Side question: does anyone have a moat in the AI industry? AI vendors for sure do not. Hyperscalers don’t seem to have one. Datacenter companies are in an industry that is more difficult to enter but don’t have a moat per se. Same for manuf

Likely to the AI labs and hyperscalers? Given the insane growth and level of expenditure I assume it’s a fun place where to work (assuming you’re ok contributing actively to the AI industry)
