    Fascinating, thanks for sharing. A candor dust guessing game would be pretty fun to play

    Obviously to me, I express things from my point of view. Raising too much from debt is a bit dangerous if you plan to go public relatively soon and don’t have a good story for it (…

    This is really cool, please more of this from the AI folks! That’s way more impactful and interesting than another coding agent

    Try, maybe. I don’t know how successful that can be. Will definitely be interesting to follow! Exciting times we are going through

    It’s unclear where American labs future capital will come from. They pretty much exhausted private options at that point and it’s not clear how successful an ipo would be at the cu…

    No need to brainwash, they did it willingly and with a smile, tweeting about how they are part of the revolution while telling us all how we will be left behind

    What I take from this is that models are already commoditized, and it’s pretty clear nobody has a moat: routing for the models, they can be swapped whenever new models are released…

    It’s crazy how we are like ~2y in this AI revolution and still do not have an answer to this question: can you show us the ROI? Where is the revolutionary software your team of age…

    Given how much of the industry is SaaS that would be such a self own! Wow, fantastic, you can build all your software in house, zero dependencies. Wait, your users can do the same?…

    yeah, oracle is literally betting the future of the company on OpenAI owning the majority of the AI market, so it's pretty strange to see such a ban. Their debt is already pretty m…

    Where I am in Germany 1kg of popcorn bags goes ~4.5€-13€ , and I see 1kg of popcorn corn for ~3.5€. If you consume a lot of it it's worth it! (and healthier if you don't use oil/bu…
