Unless you are outright buying some of their key people and their secrets. Or instead just licensing the tech from ASML. It would be a quick buck for ASML with little downside.

Another issue I have, especially when demanding terseness, is that it tends to bail out of writing long code snippets with ellipsis comments like "// And more of the same here" which sometimes defeats the purpose. Except

Overhearing could fall under the "misappropriation theory" of insider trading. If you run into "confidential" (material non-public) information about the security, you still would be committing fraud. [1] But then the pa

UI is hard for any carmaker to get right. The target user range (from pops to teen to soccer mom to SV tycoon) is way, way wider than the typical user that gets a figma-designed UX on top of React. Being conservative pays off in this arena,

Paradigm-shifting events in AI in the last 1 year or so has really upped the ante on CPU, GPU and RAM requirements. That could be the case.

And don't forget that there's a "when". Planets ready to be seeded with life are rare at a given point in the universe's timeline. So the AI also needs to make course timing decisions in the magnitudes of 1B years

I agree. The core OpenAI crew is different from Elon's or Jobs people, it's made up of scientists who tend to be more sensitive/sensible to the impact of their work. So I'm appalled OpenAI employees would follow Sam Alt

I wonder how OpenAI "resellers" are dealing with the slower response times and exploding demand. Ie. if you have an OpenAI's API account and a UI of some sort, I understand you could theoretically resell GPT4 access as a serv

To me the $15/mo plan is just bait so users pick the target $30/mo month. Why would you pay $0.016/search when you can pay 8x less and feel smart about making that choice ? edit: looking at it again, I think the $15/mo

Awesome model from a quick run-through comparison, it's comparable in results to GPT-4 with web search and references as a plus, but runs faster. Two small nitpicks: - Dark mode is hard to read, the answer text font has too much weight

You're absolutely right! I've always thought it came from the Spanish "Colon" (Columbus), but it's from the Latin colonus ("tiller of the soil, farmer"). Elonize still makes, ahem, a great neologism.
