So that's just an appeal to authority (longevity?) not anchored in reality. Just because you've been doing something for longer doesn't mean you're the best at it; Google has been shipping AI/ML models years before

There is a lot of supposition going on your part and mine. IMO, Chinese labs are not dependent on OpenAI/Anthropic outputs; they definitely use the outputs, but along other training/post-training data. Now that Anthropic hides the

While it sounds like a lot, do you suppose 3.4 million sessions come even close to being sufficient to train a frontier model? Assuming each session was 10,000 words each, that's 34 billion words; lets call it 50 billion tokens (0.05 t

The more expensive watches (Fenix) also have long battery lives: lasting up to a month on a battery that can fit in a watch. The processors still have to sip power.

The previous failure was in 2011, and didn't happen again until a decade later. The root cause hasn't been resolved since 2021: the demand and weather conditions simply haven't recurred since.
