I find it super funny that all sorts of garbage goes into the AppStore, PlayStore. They both make ridiculous amounts of money, immense profit margins, I don't remember how much, they never publish the numbers, but likely in the 60-70%.

In modern times we have a special word for what they did, but I've noticed British people are <<extremely>> touchy when it's used.

You're 90% of the way there. The US is also sovereign and if things would become really bad the government would just ban exports. Ireland wasn't sovereign and it turns out, as much as other countries act brotherly (not that the U

The thing is, in this climate it's hard to believe such tech will remain secret for long. So, assuming this is not vaporware, this would raise the tide for everyone because it shows what's possible.

I know why they're doing it. My point is that their math is wrong. 1. There's no way China will let any of the Western frontier labs in, so that's probably 1/3 out of those $50-70tn that they'll never touch. 2. It t

I think you, and many LLM fans, have a grossly distorted view of per unit SaaS costs vs per unit current LLM costs. Google Searches, once the infra setup was finished, were ridiculously cheap. Not the case for OpenAI & co. Inflation adj
