Kind of, but GDP per capita is way lower. It would take 35 average Nigerian users to replace one average American. Which still isn't exactly true, since there are high-margin items that are impossible to cross-sell that way. E.g. a $1k

Yes, it’s an technicality and this is a frequent outcome in Supreme Court cases. They often rule as narrowly as possible, regularly on technicalities. It fits the separation of powers to create as little legal reality that relies on precede

It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are doing and how dumb they are. People see a computer doing what they and other people around them do: natural language going in and out. With other people, we have a theory of mind

It's possible that training with more data has diminishing gains. For example, we know that current LLMs have a problem with hallucination, so maybe a more valuable next area of research/development is to fix that. Or work on cons
