And like non-EU companies create EU subsidiaries for that reason, non-US companies would create US ones.

It’s still “only” at 30%, and “fluid intelligence” isn’t very well-defined. The models are getting more capable, but what that means in absolute terms is anyone’s guess, because we don’t have a thorough understanding on what exactly constit

What are these plentiful alternatives? SourceHut also comes with “personal baggage”.

My interpretation is that the resource usage should be roughly proportional to the human activity involved. That wouldn’t restrict resource usage by any individual project, which might be a popular project with many contributors and a lot o
