There are humans today that refer to Africa as the 'third world' even though it's a continent with countries more developed than some US states or European countries. Significant outdated cultural knowledge seems the norm for

Yeah. When companies do actually good things for PR/selfish reasons the society that rewards that with attention will thrive. Cynics logic is always a race to the moral bottom

Starting a pricewar with NVidia is not in their interest. They are both limited by production capacity at the moment because we need more "open" foundaries which needs more machines from ASML. Both are in the works, but it takes t

Yeah the guy i shared the video from is another person with a 20 minute video of screenshots, so he fits the exact same description. My point was more that unless someone credible wants to spend days investigating we will never know the tru

I'm not familiar with the project either but the videos you shared are from people right in the center of the drama it seems, so should be treated with a lot of scepticism. Here's the opposite perspective by someone not themselves

I suspect it is similar to how Netflix does it. Reward producers: - that produces the first thing that makes an inactive customer active again - that produce something that is consumed by those who don't consume much else on the platfo

1. Cloud gaming is a non existing market. Clearly it needs very big upfront investments to enable that kind of transition. 2. Console gaming is small slice of the gaming market. Most money is made on mobile games. 3. Bundling/unbundlin

I see a lot of negative energy here. I'm not a fan of Microsoft by any stretch, but i do want to play devil's' advocate here. 1. Cloud gaming currently represents a neglectable portion of the market. Clearly it needs a very l

But so did they when they scraped the web for content. That's not within anyone's terms and conditions except Wikipedia. That's what I mean with precedent. If OpenAI would win that they would be sued in term by Bloomberg for

Not just that: Imagine OpenAI going to court and establishing the legal precedent that makes their own product illegal. So OpenAI can claim whatever they like, there is no way they will ever pursue legal actions, unless their intent is to (

It makes sense from a tactical point of view. But with the M-line of architecture they had the strategic opportunity to burn the competition.

Which is weird, because barely any part of it is produced in the US. So it's not that their costs are going up. They are just not realizing they are self sabotaging in terms of opportunity costs. If they adjust prices to purchasing pow

The third model is the platform model and thats the only one that makes sense here. An ad would send you to another site. The point of the chat is so you don't have to go to all the shitty sites and deal with all the marketing speak. S

I'm not suggesting OpenAI is maintaining those contacts. I'm suggesting booking.com will upload an API integration into the ChatGPT platform. Just like they uploaded an app into the AppStore. Perhaps they will try to up the price

The point is not to leave the chat. If you could buy the car from the chat, thats the correct bussiness model. Ads were the correct business model for search, where the goal is to find and click on a relevant link.. but that's the exac

Here are some of my questions of today: > We need to travel by train from Rome to Montpellier, but it is too many stops to do at once. So we would like to stay somewhere for a day in between Rome and Montpellier. What are our options? It

So what's the bussiness model of the travel agency? - they take a cut - they are neutral because they want repeat bussiness - they are personalised around your requirements - they take care of the little details It's exactly what

Let me phrase it differently. When people give Apple Music a cut of their song sales, or when people give Apple a cut of their iOS in game spending, it is not called advertisement. When you pay to tell someone who doesn't want to hear

The engine wouldn't allow you to order something from a vendor that hasn't signed up. Just like you can't pay for iOS app outside of their appstore. Just like how Uber, DoorDash, Booking.com are neutral vendors. They don&#x27

This is what I do now on booking.com. If you have a smarter strategy let me know. But whatever the strategy is: it can be automated. I also spent a lot more time on the choice where I live than the hotel in going to stay at for a week. Weir

You are always paying that! Ads aren't free either. Neither is the marketing, the website, the app, etc. Getting your customers is expensive, serving them is as well. But you wouldn't need any of those to compete in this market, a

It's in the interest of the semi conductor industry for LLM to become a commodity, so it will.

I never have a search problem. I need either information, a service or a product. Or information about a service or a product. I never need a search, a website or an app. That's never the problem I'm trying to solve. Search, websi

I think I'm failing to communicate my point here. It's the wrong bussiness model. The power of these chats is integration. To have the chat suggest a travel plan -and- book all the underlying steps. To integrate 3rd party services

While OpenAI is making an aggressive play on being the platform that eats all other platforms and is positioned to be a neutral party directly on the transaction with self service plugins (apps), Microsoft is squandering the opportunity the

She was trying to activate a lot of non crazy, ordinary people as well, but she wasn't experienced enough at the start to tone the rhetoric down. That some parts of her movement became too militant was likely not her intention. But it

Keep in mind that in this case the threat comes from within the groups that agree with her ideology, but believe she is controlled opposition. The same pot of crazy she (unintentionally?) tried to activate.
