   It's not only the computational cost though. Hardware requirements are much higher and GPUs need to be replaced every 2-3 years. Plus model training expenses which are considerable. I imagine it's easily 100x more expensive and th

   Google and Anthropic probably won't stop training though.

   IIRC Google had no monetization at all until ads. Even then the cost of providing search with ads is orders of magnitude lower compared to running LLMs.

   Isn't it illegal to provide health advice without a license?

   I'm not sure if this is comparable to the yellow pages vs the internet. Google became profitable in 2001 whereas OpenAI et al are still operating at a huge loss. Even with ads it's not clear whether LLMs can be profitable unless

   > most businesses in all categories as more people rely on ChatGPT and Claude for discovery What about restaurants, transportation, construction, healthcare, or manufacturing? Will those go out of business too?

   > Pervasive OCR on Windows and Mac is fantastic, for example. I agree. Definitely useful features but still a far cry from LLMs which is what the average consumer identifies as AI.

   Consumers are not idiots. We know all this AI PC crap is it's mostly a useless gimmick. One day it will be very cool to run something like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini locally in our phones but we're still very, very far away from t

    I'm from Spain. Yes you can find bakeries that sell sandwiches, especially in areas for tourists, but I would argue this is not the norm generally speaking. Bakeries for locals rarely sell sandwiches.

    Maybe users are responsible for the prompts but X is definitely responsible for hosting that content and the behavior of Grok.

    Same. Wish I could go back to Ventura or even Mojave though. There are zero new features I use. Still hate the newish Settings app.

    I only use Windows for gaming and 11 has been fine. Only use it to launch Steam though. My biggest complain is that every time I reboot I get the annoying ad for copilot and one drive that I can only skip for a couple of days.

    Did railroads change the world though? They only lasted a couple of decades as the main transportation method. I'd say the internal combustion engine was a lot more transformative.

    It’s super frustrating. It used to be the case that if your query was in one language you’d get results in that language but not anymore. I regularly get a mix of multiple languages and even translated stuff. I've even seen multiple AI

    Zacatecas (Mexico) is mostly a desert now but it used to be covered with forests. The wood was used as fuel for smelting silver during the colonial period.

    Just don't connect your tv to the internet. Get an Apple TV or an Nvidia Shield.
