I think I made my point in the original post you responded to: OpenAI heavily subsidized token cost using investor money. If they go under, there will still be demand for that compute, but because OpenAI is paying more for it than it is act

Believing only makes things true for so long until things fall apart. You can't keep burning billions every quarter. At some point, you run out of investors who believe, and the ones you have run out of money (see: Softbank).

Code isn't worth all that much if you don't own the associated IP, mainly copyright. And even if you disagree with that premise, if you trust that they can keep the code secret, it's basically free money. At any rate, I'

Right, "believe".

Z.ai has a search MCP server, it should be trivial to use that to build a basic search UI on top.

It's primarily relevant because it makes scraping search results much more expensive, solidifying Google's effective monopoly on Internet search. Google has previously tried to prevent scraping of search results using legal means,

I just realized how much money one could make by hacking Truth Social and posting some "truths" under Trump's account. It's a relatively new, relatively complex platform; surely there are bugs.

I had the opposite thought: I'm impressed the board did anything at all, given how useless they are at most companies.

The vast size of the country sounds like an argument for trains, rather than against it? Trains are a comparatively cheap way to provide fast transportation between places where people actually live.

The people at Microsoft who made the Surface Duo must be feeling pretty weird seeing this. The name, the aspect ratio, the way the UI works, the gestures for setting up split-screen, the "use it as a tiny laptop" mode... It's

I'm a bit confused by what you're asking. Let me give you an example. Let's say you're building processes using the process management tool FooTool from the company BigFoo. You tell the LLM, "make a new process.&quo

Shame them... for not working their employees into a heart attack at 40? I'm not sure if your hypothesis is correct. I personally don't think the crazy work hours are what make the US so competitive in tech. But even if it were, i

Depends on what you do. If you work with proprietary tech that is not in LLM training data and can't easily be found on the internet, you're cooked without good skill files.

I think what you're missing is that for many Western European countries, like Germany, suddenly gaining a direct border with Russia is a genuine concern. It's not just rhetoric; it's the real world. It's easy for America

How many of these millions only had to migrate to the US because the US destroyed their countries with war, economic sanctions, covert CIA operations, or other attacks?
