Did the agents you built work? I think we're doing something similar in the UK and intrigued to know how it went for you ( https://www.plinth.org.uk )

I'd be very interested to hear more about how the non-for-profit agents platform went/anything else you learnt.

And it's ASML more than TSMC. Or maybe there's a highly profitable role for all the different parts of the value chain.

I think it's a case of tech bubble vs the rest of the world. Most people are not subscribing to the paid version of ChatGPT, but a lot of people who spend a lot of time with these …

It's the default for the free version of ChatGPT no? That's what the majority of people use.

I'm not sure. The figures I've seen suggest that GPT3 required 10x more energy to train than GPT2 (e.g. https://www.nnlabs.org/power-requirements-of-large-language-... .), so I thi…

I can definitely imagine they're not covering the amortised cost of the training with the cost per individual inference request. It seems less likely to me that they're making a si…

That's fair about ignoring the training cost. I did write a bit more going into that in a follow up piece here: https://notfunatparties.substack.com/p/ai-is-good-for-the-pl... Do y…

That's actually not correct. Stripe invoicing charges 0.4 or 0.5% on top of the normal payment transaction fee (for either card payments or bank transfers). Essentially, you are pa…

They fixed that fairly recently.

I'm not sure the API docs are publicly accessible?

It's very likely organisations in the charity sector will need to run DBS checks, even just for looking at back-end systems/data.

Interesting to read those valuation benchmarks. I'd seen this article in SeedLegals previously https://seedlegals.com/resources/how-to-value-your-company/ that seem to be quite a l…

A UBI that doesn't apply to foreign migrants isn't exactly universal. Also, the second order impact of oil money appreciating the currency and therefore the reducing the internatio…

Yeah it was statically hosted in the end (initially it wasn't quite static). When it was at its most popular, the total site size including JavaScript was around 70kb as far as I c…

Part of my worry was that I messed up the caching initially so it was making API calls on the server for each request. Once I fixed that, there wasn't really anything to worry abou…

It was basically a typo, but then enough people got slightly irritated by it that I started to enjoy having it that way.
