Please point to the active money in this economy? The pension reallocations? Blackrock? Bitcoin? There is a ton of money being siphoned off with zero place to put it. When sv collapsed why does Roku park half a billion dollars in a bank acc

Because if it worked better then we’d be doing it already. But no amount of cryptobro podcasts are going to fix the shortcomings of digital currencies. And everyone knows this. My dollar will be worth a dollar tomorrow and will sit in my wa

Wait whats so confusing? GPT3.5, 4.0, 4o, 4o-mini, 4.1 o3, 4,5? I want to slap every person at OpenAI. call freaking tuned models what they are, basic, advanced, coding, research, etc. etc. Slow, Fast. Like cmon.

It’s plain bait and switch. You paid a premium for promised X, specifically. Y showed up. This is the equivalent of buying a first class ticket, and getting put in economy. Someone should class action this bs.

I’ve seen ChatGPT generate bad English and I’ve seen the layer or logic / UI re-render the page as I think there is a simple spell checker that kicks in and tells the api to re-render and recheck. I don’t believe for one second that LL

You have a 4500+ lb car with 0-60 acceleration of 2.x to 4.x seconds and crazy torque, if you drive EVs like a teenager you will eat your tires after 10-12k miles.
