OpenAI is positioned to be something like Adwords is/was. Think free LLM for your app/website/store or as the backend for products like character.ai. That will let them vacuum up a ton of user data. Plus like Google search

Practically, it doesn't matter like it didn't matter for Google that storage got many orders of magnitude cheaper. By the time training a novel LLM and serving it to a billion users is trivial in the way that providing 1GB of ema

OpenAI is an existential threat to Google. They're both solving the same problem for consumers. Something like "there's information on the Internet that I want but don't know where it is". Almost all of Google&#

Nah this is a repeat of Google's early days. They built storage at such a scale that it was hard for anyone else to compete in anything that required storage like email. OpenAI is doing the same with compute. They're going to ha

It's probably not going to do that either. The number of spaces per lot will move to below the limit and more lots will be created to make up the difference. The net will likely be less efficient utilization of lots leading to more o

Yep. It would have to be something that dramatic to render all the technology and infrastructure OpenAI has obsolete. But if it's anything like massive data training on a huge number of GPUs then OpenAI is one of the winners.

It's not windows mobile because OpenAI was first and is the clear leader in the market. Windows mobile was late to the party and missed their window. Palm is closer but it's a different world. It's established that Internet

Very few people own top of the line Macs and most interactions are on phones these days. We are many generations of phones away from running GPT-5 on a phone without murdering your battery. Even if that weren't true having your softwa

It's the first new way of interacting with computers since the iPhone. It's going to be massively valuable and OpenAI is essentially guaranteed to be one of the players.

Prosecutors talk about their cases all the time. They hold press conferences and everything. I don't think these messages are all that unusual. Well usually they have the sense to go off the record at he beginning instead of the end.

Not being refined and well written is part of its charm. It's the raw unfiltered passion that's as much of the message as the story is.

Almost every state will spend the most on inner city kids. You have a ton of commercial tax base for relatively few kids. For example Atlanta Public Schools spends the most per pupil in GA outside of a handful of tiny districts.

I joke with my boss that all our shit ends up running on a single server in some Amazon data center. It's probably not true but if you add up everything we do it's pretty close to one big server.
