    This is like claiming that Linux isn't open because you don't have a PC. Models can be open-weight even if you don't have the hardware to run them.

    > It’s a not very well kept secret in the industry I would rather say it's been a very well kept secret if it's true, which I highly doubt. It also makes absolutely no sense; so fa…

    > nobody in the corporate world is using Linux desktops This is the wrong comparison. An LLM provider isn't like a desktop OS; it's like a server OS. And everybody is using Linux f…

    Yeah, same. I have the phone I actually want, and then I have the phone I need because otherwise I couldn't function in society. It's workable but sometimes unpleasant, because I d…

    It's pretty obvious from context and from the specific example what I'm talking about.

    We're talking about corporations here. Of course they use Linux, and of course they'll provide their employees access to the LLMs that cost half the price and are 90% as good.

    If they were profitable, they'd release real numbers and announce concrete plans for an IPO. They are very obviously not profitable; they just announced a $65B Series H two months …

    The question is not whether LLMs have value; the question is who will earn how much money off them. I don't see any scenario where the companies that put hundreds of billions into …

    The apps you actually need to participate in society (digital IDs, banking apps, etc.) will never run on your homegrown OS. Having a billion dollars changes nothing about the fact …

    Huawei can't sell fully functional phones anywhere outside of China, including in Europe. You need Google Mobile Services and the Google Play Store to be able to install stuff like…

    People have been voting with their wallets since forever, and look where it got us. The reality is that asking people to vote with their wallets does not work. But this specific ca…

    5G towers have no negative externalities except looking kinda dorky. In fact, they're nice; they improve your reception. The same cannot be said for data centers. (Instead of just …

    Something went seriously wrong there, and I'm not sure it's just Claude copying an existing project bug-for-bug. For more context, see also this post from Gruber at Daring Fireball…

    We went from "obviously the doomers are wrong because who would be dumb enough to just let severely unaligned models loose on the Internet" to this. Insanity.
