Germany is politically going all in behind the US.

This looks hugely disruptive no?

There is no source of funding in Europe that can produce the billions raised by OpenAI in the US. Not even close.

That just makes it sadder. European talent and knowledge, monetized by the US. Unfortunately the European economic order is incompatible with this kind of startup. We do not have the capital to fund it, because we do not have public markets

ChatGPT speaks a ton of languages and very well at that. Hell it is better at my native language than I am and I am from a pretty small country.

Are there any offline text to speech options that supports a wide variety of languages?

Also Cassandra, RocksDB, zstd, Open Compute and probably a bunch I'm forgetting. Meta has one of the most stellar open source contributions of any company.

You have a viewpoint from the area that you come from. South Korea has a very different viewpoint to yours. Samsung is competing with TSMC, who is ahead and also investing massively. The only surprising thing about this headline is the amou
