A net loss on the order of dozens of thousands of dollars. And one whose primary purpose is not wealth creation.

Are you under the impression that personal ability and external government structure determine an individual's politics? Under your framing it's impossible for any fascist to exist…

Then it should be simple for one of the frontier labs to produce a model trained only on private data. We haven't seen that.

Seems to me OP's implication is that they were fired because someone wanted to hit a quota of (employees cut/payroll expenses reduced), or other similarly ''reasonless'' justificat…

''Now, the total population of well-off countries in the world is about 1 billion, while China has more than 1.3 billion people. If we are all to become modernized, the well-off po…

Regardless, the statement "the stock market has said SaaS is dead" is a fair and accurate response to your initial question "Who said SaaS is dead".

I'm curious if blocking non-company AI is even possible. It's very easy for me to imagine someone, say, turning the wi-fi off on their phone and using the claude phone app, or text…
