Interesting. So, we're going to deny that most of the IP theft from China up to this moment? Do you even think China is this advanced just because of chinese innovation? C'mon man.

Unfortunately, the porn pivot might be their path to "profitability".

> "Wow, for a period of time we were able to get more jobs to a significantly large amount of the population due to innovation. How fortunate." Here's the thing: This is good for the economy and human development overall.

Don't get me wrong, the gig economy is really bad, but unfortunately covers a big chunk of jobs. When this scales up (and it will), what would happen to these people and the economy in general? There won't be an UBI reasonable eno

I mean, it's a bubble. The question is, who's going to lose more money, and who's going to recoup at least some of the investments back before the music stops.

Testing LLama, DeepSeek, and Mistral atm.

We're testing different models depending on the business case. Our initial tests using 3, 7, and 8B models are working fine. We're not using the big ones since our use cases don't demand them.

This is fair. We're now evaluating open-source LLMs to develop our in-house solutions, adding them to our products and services. As soon as they released the models, the moat was, depending on the context, somewhat gone.

This x1000. Are businesses short sided enough to help create and develop another wallet garden just like "Google" and "Amazon" are right now? Time will tell but I think businesses want to own their sales funnel, not just

Exactly. I don't understand why we always have to bash the US. I dislike the way China does business, and I believe the greatest error of the 20th century was moving all manufacturing there. I don't know why the government allowed

Knowing OAI's history, only big whales could survive being copied by the platform's owner—case in point: Amazon Basics. They're so big that most of the time, SMBs can't escape them and don't have a choice but to cav

This x100. This is HCI 101. I'm glad I took that class during my master's program. It opened my eyes to a new world.

With what exactly? They are desperately trying to create a "marketplace" and become gatekeepers on the backs of developers and businesses alike. There's no innovation here.

Yeah... no. I'm going to pass. The premise is bad from any angle. In the case of businesses, why "create" another "Amazon" and compete with other brands when the focus should be on getting customers through my sales

Exactly. I don't understand why children "need" to use any social network. We were raised without it, and so can any kid, for that matter.

The bubble will burst with a vengeance when big corporations and startups start deploying and utilizing LLM models on-premises instead of the "pay-as-you-go" trap.

by throwacct 1y ago
At this point, every LLM startup out there is just trying to stay in the game long enough before VC money runs out or others fold. This is basically a war of attrition. When the music stops, we'll see which startups will fold and which

"Merchants are ranked based on availability, price, quality, whether they are the maker or primary seller of that item, and whether Instant Checkout is enabled." So, this is a race to de bottom for any SMB. If this didn't wor

We stopped hiring a while ago because we were adjusting to "AI". We're planning to start hiring next year, as upper management finally saw the writing on the wall: LLMs won't evolve past junior engineers, and we need to

Well, TikTok is and will still be the dominant force in that area, and I don't think Instagram will win this time. For photos? Instagram is still the king of the hill. For video consumption? TikTok is the king.

They're really trying everything. They need the Google/Apple ecosystem to compete against them. Fb is adding LLMs to all its products, too. Personally, I stopped using ChatGPT months ago in favor of other services, depending on wh

This is interesting since I'm from a minority group, don't even know who the Proud Boys are, and even though I told you I'm an independent, you assumed right from the get-go my political affiliation. If antifa is not a group

I'm independent, and the $2.7 billion (which is a crazy amount of money) was basically to pay to procecute +1000 rioters. That is vastly different from burning cities, etc... Now, I've seen what antifa militants do almost every ti

I mean, businesses need to be impartial and take no sides. Their goal is to serve both sides of the aisle. If you have a business or you're the CEO, CTO, etc., you can share your political views privately.

They capitulated because they lost the right a few years ago, and they can't lose the left either.
