Time is ticking and running out. You do realise future numbers have to be discounted heavily for the required rate of return given the risk, right? This means the free cash flow to the firm OAI generates will have to be huge, given the nega

"because every company is busy paying the Indeeds/Linkedins of the world" The reason why is because they possess significant competitive advantages. Im actually working on something in this space and am building out competiti

"Humans hallucinate too" No they dont. Humans also know when they are pretending to know what they are talking about - put said people against the wall and they will freely admit they have no idea what the buzzwords they are sayin

Whats the big deal? If the management at Apple thought they were important and critical to Apples future, they wouldve made it work. The reality is, they dont believe this to be the case.

Lol, you are not someone worth debating with. Stick to your biases and continue producing music that no one else cares about. Cool. Just dont share it with the rest of us who actually have taste.

THe great irony and greed of shareholders is, if this all blows up, they will demand more cash return in the form of dividends and stock buy backs. If that doesnt happen the stock price will get crushed as Meta already experienced back in 2

"You can't innovate without taking career-ending risks." Its not the job of employees to bear this burden - if you have visionary leadership at the helm, they should be the ones absorbing this pressure. And thats what is miss

The real question is, how/why did they over-hire in the first place?

The thing that many, so called smart people, dont realise is that leadership and vision are incredibly scarce traits. Pure technologists and MBA folks dont have a visionary bone in their body. I always find the Steve Jobs criticism re. his

The explanation behind the acquisition of Statsig is so obvious. OAI is taking a Meta-old-school approach towards building products. Did it work at Meta? Nah, they ended up acquiring since their internal efforts were not preferred by the us

My use of LLMs has declined not increased. Some of us are way ahead of the curve of understanding what these things can and cant do, and will not do due to fundamental issues the technology faces.

I did not feel anything when listening to the song. The purpose of music is to move oneself, particularly emotionally. As an example to represent the point - this is known to put many on the verge of tears/in a stream of tears: https:

The thing is, the brand is toxic. They can offer all the money they want, but no employee has any pride in working for them. So they produce the bare minimum to get their salary - and I applaud them.

My personal consumption of YT has dropped pretty sharply - I only go on there for specific content that I personally pick out myself. The recommendations have become really bad progressively IME over the past 2 years.
