There's at least two markets here. Consumer ad driven and worker augmentation markets. Likely a 3rd as a backend infrastructure provider to a bunch of value add companies. I think Google has caught up enough to certainly be a player

Feels like everyone should be on one hand. On the other hand it also feels like a massive recalibration of what companies can/should do. They spend massive amounts of money on AWS, Datadog, GitHub, CircleCi, et al. If it becomes ea

This entire narrative is just made up. Managers know not to reward spending. At best you had some tracking to see who was using it and encouragement for those that aren't to start.

My God what do you do to your feta?

That doesn't sound like very few stores in walking distance. And yes things have drastically changed in the 10+ years or whenever growing up was.

It's not literally 0 but for most casual users it is. Programmers are heavier users and the ones that have 10 agents going wild are even more so. In that case the cost is above 0 but economies of scale means the effect is the same.

I think this misses the forest for the trees. Working with ChatGPT is eerily similar to working with offshore Indian devs back in my enterprise days. Productive if guided explicitly but if let run wild there's lots of WTF moments. LL

Historically the winners in software have a flywheel that turns faster with more users. Facebook the more of your friends on it the better the product was. Google tracked how long users were on pages to improve search. The frontier models

It's not really true. Almost every neighborhood in Atlanta has a cluster of shops or food hall kind of thing to walk to. It's true that it's a massive lifestyle leap to go to no car. But walk to the park. Walk to get ice cr

The system doesn't stick to principles enshrined in the constitution and law. Often or usually it does. Certainly not always. Theoretically there are other humans to force them to when they stray but that's gated behind 10s of t

I'd still trust ChatGPT over the median recruiter. And ChatGPT has the benefit of being able to do 10-100x as many screens as with a human. Even if it's grossly wrong half the time I'm ahead on volume.

Have you ever successfully appealed a failed HR screen? IME the reality of the modern world that there's little genuine appeal or reconsideration anymore. There is some sort of process but it's Byzantine and if we're talking

Everyone is feeling it out but the vast majority of spend has been subscription based. Some outliers may have used a massive amount of tokens but companies didn't pay for that. That VC funded gravy train is likely coming to an end. B

No, I mean they're constantly crawling the web. That gets fed into the next model but it's also searchable by the current one. For example, if you ask chatgpt what the latest shooting at the white house was it will tell you about

Please. These are the same people that force their employees to use Microsoft teams because slack is $5 an employee a month. They're not going to sit idly by while employees burn thousands a month in tokens.

Again, that there is no evidence of a burial and them explicitly stating that it was deliberately buried are not mutually contradictory things.

Can you give an example of your searches? I'm with the GP. To me LLMs are just better search engines. In the most literal sense. They have their own index and can generate links if you want them.

Okay but I didn't say they didn't conclude that. I said: >no evidence of burial and the evidence (mussel shells) that humans were involved with the site at all is thin

>Layer 1 was the only unit containing identifiable cultural materials and was interpreted as a midden because it appeared to have been formed, at least partially, by anthropic additions of mussel shells. All in situ dingo bones were conf

This seems highly suspect. The paper says there's no evidence of burial and the evidence (mussel shells) that humans were involved with the site at all is thin. That they came from a "feeding ritual" seems to be based on no

A fab costs a billion dollars (really a lot more) and 5 years. It doesn't do anything for anyone today.

I doubt it's less actual throughput in most cases. In a place like Atlanta there's no place where it's bus after bus. The BRT line they built nearby is a bus every 10 minutes. Which being very generous to the bus usage is eq

It has $25 billion on AI cap expenditure in the S1. So generally looks like a solid deal for SpaceX.

There is an equally impressive ability of abusers to rewrite history to put themselves in the role of the victim. That comes along with justifying all sorts of behavior. The classic "if you didn't make me so angry I wouldn'

Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Nvidia, Cisco, Oracle, et al make a bajillion dollars a year. The faangs are the most profitable companies in the world (swap Nvidia for Netflix)

I'd call that completely wrong. It's become something of an urban legend but the reality is that AWS was net new. It was not share Amazon infrastructure with the world

This gets the story of AWS wrong and it should be fundamentally suspect because of that.

It's big because it may take a big swath of people who will actually pay for LLMs out of the market. But for the average consumer they're going to primarily use their phone/tablet and we're far away from that being poss
