    It pains me to see such a low-effort contrarian comment at the top: as stated in TFA taxi drivers are below other profession when controlling for age, and there are multiple profes…

    This is obviously AI, but believing in Pangram's output is putting too much trust in a fully broken system.

    If you check the submission history of OP, you'll see that they are deep into AI psychosis.

    OpenAI's hypergrowth year was 2023, they have steadily been losing market share over the past year while taking record losses.

    I don't know where you get that from, but it's pretty easy to prove it wrong: with their daily active users count, OpenAI and Anthropic would have been profitable for years if that…

    Ads work when you can server $.01 worth of ads to a user for $.0001 of server cost. I fail to see how you can make it work when doing LLM inference which is significantly costlier …
