Forget “AI” (as in the magic pixie dust) - this is the way. Knowing what data you have, curating it, and sharing it so others can benefit is half the battle. In order to implement beyond zero companies need to do exactly that. And that proc

Sorry I thought that a bubble was widely accepted. Are you arguing there is not an AI bubble, and that all the DC buildout is fine, going to be profitable etc? I am not looking for a online slanging match - just looking for a different poin

On the token limits etc - one assumes that OpenAI et al are able to “hire expert in field, and let them spend the equivalent of a million dollars of tokens” because they are not actually selling their complete compute 24 hrs a day, so the c

It reminds me of “magic”. I say “expelliamus” and the wand flies out the other guys hand, not his hat, or wallet or the person behind’s sandwiches. The details always matter. There is a (fairly) good book series where it turns out we are l

Meh. That’s like saying we have a parking shortage in cities. No we have more car journies than we need. We have societies designed by the default choice. If that choice is walkable streets, low cost electric buses, dense neighbourhoods (mo
