If it's just going to mean cheaper hardware, cheaper access to models and cheaper energy prices, it's going to be all right I think! I very much doubt the general public will accept a any sort of government bailout - people are co

One question that I ask is if Google Search is still a search engine, and if it should be considered as one. If people are going on Google to search and end up in a chat with an LLM, isn't that defrauding the user? Of course, a LLM can

Due to ad transparency you can access ad libraries of brands advertising on several platforms, and depending on the platform and country you can also see some targeting details. I'm not 100% sure but I think ad transparency was enforce

Russia at this point has no functioning democratic institutions, and even political institutions - for example at this point no document inherited or signed by the regime is worth anything. That's why they're considered a rogue st

Well it could be worse because in the end it's still a democracy, for how long that's yet to be seen. Look at Russia, they jumped off a cliff to protect a regime from democracy, and people are checked out - they take no accountabi

Why are you stating China competitiveness isn't related to labor, and then pivot to US labor? Before you go there, you should answer: what has the Chinese government done for the Chinese lately? Is everything well in their society, lab

I'd buy that if you're talking about developing new products/new production lines, it's cheaper to have suppliers and know how hand - and it's great for margin optimization, because they have other production lines.

Because Western rivals are mainly retailers first, and marketplaces second. So their goal is to try to squeeze as much from the end customer as possible, sometimes even with absurd price differences in physical locations vs online. Promotio

Out of curiosity, couldn't ASML replace the all of those elements with either their own development or new suppliers? This is taking into account the worst case scenario, which isn't that unlikely to happen. I mean, for sure there

I understand your argument, but I think you might be overestimating the intent of the users when they're using chatgpt. The ones killing on ads are Google, Meta, and Amazon. I just don't see how ChatGPT will gobble those market sh

It doesn't look like self censoring at all - basically you want the default behavior of llms to gamble on the ethnicity of someone based on how they look. Grok used a book as a reference. It's not like ethnicity is a fact you infe

Because of everything that behavior represents, and the normalization of lying and deceit as a virtue. I think it's important for a product with a design to have part of the value linked to a human, but the reality is quite different:

That's correct that sovereignty is a cornerstone, but since the founding of the UN that doesn't mean you have a blank check to do whatever you want within the sovereignty of a country. Things like genocide, war crimes, crimes agai
