Replace Huawei with Uber in the ride hailing space. Or basically the entire crypto space. Move fast, break the law and buy your way out of the consequences is as much a Silicon Valley play as it is Chinese.

I really like the presentation, it’s slick and easy to read. It’s a bit like https://github.com/omnitool-ai/onnitool (plus cloud hosted, minus the extensions) or https://nodered.org but focused on AI. How

Like OpenAI, it's not nearly enough to break even.

There is plenty of people whose job is to take care of the easy part. But not for long, the markets are turning against coding. https://www.ubs.com/global/en/wealth-management/insights/chi...

Companies creating quality are stupid. Making devices that break sells much better and consumers outside of Japan are stupid/overwhelmed/feature dazzled enough they don't really care. Also, everyone (outside japan) does it, s

Google just produces fake videos and announcements and then doesn’t release the product ?

It’s a tech demo, data acquisition and research/prototyping operation for OpenAI that’s highly subsidized and aimed at building a qualify dataset for GPT 5+ - effectively using their initial models trained in an unsustainable fashion a

Yes, including an open source model from openAI (sharp-e). It’s not very good but it does do it

In my experience they are equally unusable due to compounding reliability issues. It’s a tech demo, not a platform, a data acquisition operation and alpha testing rather than anything seriously useful. Interfaces are unstable. Inference is

The wirecard people were Russian intelligence and had access to the highest level of politics. Nothing to see here. The head of the Constitutional Protection Agency (BfV) turned out to be a right wing radical who is hanging out with Neonazi

I think it’s wishful thinking. How do you exactly envision current AI could make the process better? Technology rarely solves problems, at best it replaces them with different problems. You also assume that the ultimate goal of hiring is su

The worst that can happen is that you will get sued about using unsuitable technology with built in biases to assess or grade candidates, creating systemic discrimination in your hiring pipeline. The FTC just tore a retailer a 50mil new hol

I assume you are not US. Health insurance is tied to your job. Without it, things can turn to ruin very quickly and not in your control - just takes one uninsured driver crashing into the family van.
