Everything there is extremely speculative and I don't see anything that contradicts that inference itself could be profitable at massive scale. See https://youtu.be/xmkSf5IS-zw for example. If the companies as a whole

It helps make it difficult to do scalping at scale. They can't reliably sell seats next to people. Always having to pay people their cut to use their name means the refund mechanism is still costly to the scalper. It doesn't have

As much as I'm a Python fan I strongly disagree here that rust is a red herring. Having a static binary makes distribution way simplier. There are a bunch of ways you could try to achive something like in python but it would be signifi

It’s been a lot longer than that. There was a reasonable sized effort to provide binaries via conda-forge but the users never came. That said, the PyPy devs were always a pleasure to work with.
