Totally insane, $6.5B acquihire. But also, all stock deal and OpenAI appears to have an unlimited number of investors waiting to give them money if/when needed.

My understanding is that modern search engines are using embeddings / vector search under the hood. So even if LLM's aren't directly passing a vector to the search engine, my assum…

Just wonder if it matters? If Google spent 10x as much in the first 5 years of its life would it be a worse company now? Giant TAM, winner takes all (or most?), all that matters is…

Curious if anyone knows, what legality of using a technique like this? I assume illegal, even though it's just making publicly available API calls?

It’s a good point, but one thing to consider is that ultra long hard tech might be structurally challenging as well. If fusion requires 100 years of capital and R&D it won’t be via…
