For now. As others have said, there is no technological “moat” in this business that could prevent others from catching up. Perhaps the best way for Open AI is to become THE established AI services company. AWS is still the leader in cloud

It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Most people don’t know that TSMC exists, or what Microsoft does beyond Windows and Xbox (which are a small fraction of its business).

I have a feeling that Microsoft has “let go” of Windows. It has expanded far beyond it and no longer even needs to depend on it as a separate revenue stream.

Tesla's Model Y is the top bestselling car model in 2023. It's the first year in history when an electric model outsold any of its ICE competitors.

Then that is an administrative obstacle, not technological. Nuclear power by itself shouldn't be (and isn't) that expensive and can be made much cheaper with standardized mass production. It's a shame that Vogtle NPP is now m

You are comparing to the worst case scenario of catastrophic nuclear overbudgeting. Normally nuclear plants don’t cost nearly as much. Korea has built 5.6 GW Barakah NPP for about 25B dollars. It took less than 8 years. Russia is building i

First computer fit in a hangar, consumed enormous amount of energy and provided a tiny fraction of the computing power that you now have in your smartphone. Just saying.

You almost can’t even escape it at this point. VS Code ecosystem is a beast.

Microsoft has managed to resurrect from the dead though. Now it feels like a “fresher” company than Google.
43.
by donny2018 3y ago
The hypothesis is not wrong. Google is still just ads and search. It’s a utility “nothing to see here” company now. Paradoxically, Microsoft now looks newer, fresher and more innovative than this.

I mean, we already benefit plenty in various ways from corporations like Google. AI is just another product by another corporation. If I get to benefit from the technology while the company that offers it also makes profit, that’s fine, I t

And after those subsidies stopped, the progress of nuclear power also stopped, naturally. If the subsidies continued, we could have had scalable, sustainable and affordable nuclear. I believe that Renewables should be subsidized, and curren

Well, I still remember times when 50% of google results weren’t ads. Interestingly, Bing almost doesn’t display search ads, and the search results are becoming even better than Google. I haven’t had a need to use google for a few months now

With this stereotypical view you are dismissing the legitimate technological advantages of the modern .NET platform, which, in my opinion, is now better than Node, Java or Go. Also, .NET ecosystem is way richer and more open than you percei
