So now OpenAI is committed to spending $550 billion dollars? ($300B to Oracle and $250B to MS). If it currently has ~$10B in revenue / year, how on earth can it meet these commitments?

This is a great writeup! There was a period where reliable structured output was a significant differentiator and was the 'secret sauce' behind some companies success. A NL->SQL company I am familiar with comes to mind. Nice to

This is McCarthyism. You take a polarizing word, then you attack your enemies by claiming they are that thing, and couch the whole thing in an "investigation" whose outcome is predetermined. There is no merit to discussing if the

I tried the following prompt and other than producing a four panel comic that was black and white it completely ignored every other instruction. This was with 4 ultra. Maybe someone else will have better luck but the failure seemed stable.
