    An open weight model is used in a cyber attack. Responsibility is hard to attribute. The US/EU/any other government sees them as the distributor of the open weight model and comes …

    From what I understand about deepseek’s pricing, they are only charging what they need to break even.

    You just get throttled, which interrupts your whole workflow.

    Roughly 1/3 voted for the winner, 1/3 for the loser, and the rest didn’t vote. A majority did not choose this.

    Be careful what you wish for. Ideological employees exist, and they might even work for less. But that doesn’t mean they will always agree with Dario’s ideology. This is something …

    It doesn’t matter what price they bought SpaceX stock for. They could have gotten it for free. Any gain prior to Google’s investment could be realized prior to Google giving SpaceX…

    Now that we can mass produce tables and chairs I would imagine there are far fewer people whose career is hand crafting tables and chairs. So machines literally did out compete the…

    And to extend the analogy, before there were house cleaning machines the people who enjoyed cleaning were lumped in with the people who like having a clean house. I will say that t…

    By your own math, doing this would have required SpaceX stock to go up $200B just to break even, and then Google would have to liquidate it.

    $12B/year is nothing to a company that makes 11x as much in profit. The question is whether that $12B can be turned into more profit.

    “Upper middle class” has nothing to do with it. In 1950, the median household could buy a house with 2 years of income. That is, 50% of households could do this. Today, the median …

    1) Based on your numbers, 65% of women were not working at that time. 2) That 35% number was likely even lower for married women. 3) Racism was still a systemic problem and was bad…
