How many years can you lose $20 billion and stay solvent?
As long as investors keep pumping money into it. Uber lost billions a year until relatively recently, and they didn't have nearly the same queue of investors ready to pour money into them at an insane markup. You underestimate the tolerance for silicon valley vcs to take in years of loss as long as the companies growing.
With all of the DCs being built, I also don't see R&D going down anytime soon either.
Wouldn't more data centers reduce there cost? More data centers means more capacity and more competition pushing the price down.
Not really, tons of companies in silicon valley burn through billions in cash and never even reach $100M in revenue, much less 4x on billions in revenue, that's gotta be single digits in the amount of companies.
Snowflake in there prime when they had the largest IPO ever only got 50% yoy growth after $1b in revenue. 4x is insane
Not as bad as I thought honestly. Looks like they're making a profit on inference, it's just training the models is costing them a shit ton in R&D.
If we hit a plateau and training new models isn't worth it and they scale back there R&D the business could be profitable. Not enough to justify there absurd evaluation, but not a money pit that some people in this thread would have you believe.
Haven't used cursor but I assume it's like other harnesses where the special sauce is in how it manages context, schedules sub agents, feeds them context, enforces standards, uses tools and skills etc. that make it better then just directly prompting the model.
For example you prompt opus directly with "refactor the auth flow" and it's going to try and "one shot" it and produce the code from that prompt. Whereas a harness has instructions to say
Research the current implementation
Search the web for standards
Ask the user questions on how they want to do it
...
Sounds like googles got a model that can mimic human hand gestures really well and want to prevent other companies from being able to scrape the Internet for AI training
It's not even that, a good chunk of the countries who voted yes probably are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future. Ffs North Korea voted yes. These are just the countries self righteous enough to think torturing is a good thing and are willing to go on record to say so.
The San Francisco district didn't change in the redistricting, and remains one of the few coherent house districts these days. There is a progressive using the mamdani playbook challenging her in the 26 primaries, so maybe she just wants to quit while she's ahead and keep her undefeated record.
It's a reference to the Chinese civil war. When it was clear the communists were going to win the head of the nationalist Kuomintang party Chiang Kai shek fled to Taiwan and established the modern republic of China (Taiwan) in hopes of eventually returning and retaking the mainland after communism collapsed or the US decided to get involved. After they left mao mopped up the remaining nationalist forces and established the people's republic of China, both of them claim to be the legitimate government of both Taiwan and the mainland.
Before anyone starts to think there's a good guy in this story:
some have taken upon themselves to honor KitKat in distinctly Silicon Valley-style ways. Zeidan (part of cats family) has released a memecoin honoring KitKat’s legacy, and also said that he was disappointed to see others launch their own imitation tokens in an attempt to profit off KitKat’s death.
He says he's going to use the money to support local vets, but why don't you just share some links to spca to donate directly, you're providing nothing but a way for you to grift by taking the money through meme coins.
IDK they've been pretty on top of this. I remember earlier this year there was a story about them honking all night at there depot and they released a patch to fix it in a couple days. They are trying to get approval to drive to the airport so they're very sensitive to public opinion and the politicians in charge of approving that.
It can work if there's a safer legal alternative. Like theres a black market for moonshine but it's miniscule compared to the whole alcohol market because most people would rather go to a normal store and buy vodka instead cause they know what they're getting. Same with tobacco, they aren't banning all nicotine products, just smoking, so if the options are to smoke this probably contaminated tobacco you get off the black market or vape / chew nicotine products that have some quality assurance most people will choose the latter.
On android you can hold the bottom gesture area and it brings up Google ai "what's on my screen" mode and it has a translate function that will replace all the German text on the screen with English, seems to work pretty well at least on the German memes.
One point I'd like to add is that trans identity can become an existential threat to a lot of people, in the philosophical sense of existentialism vs essentialism. If you base your entire life, identity and values off a single idea, then questioning that idea brings into question your entire existence. If you think your a man because you have a penis and that your hetero because your attracted to Afab women then the idea that a women can have a penis brings into question both of those identities and all the decisions in your life you made off those identities.
If you aren't secure in your sexual and gender identity these sort of questions can be very uncomfortable as doubt would lead to you doubting and regretting every decision you've made in your life leading to an existential crisis. So instead of facing this existential dread people will run from these questions and attack anything that may raise them to preserve their identity and ego.
Wonder how the millennials are gonna handle being the rich generation in a decade when there boomer parents die off and they inherit overinflated property values combined with them being the only one with well paying jobs since they got in when there were at least a couple rungs on the bottom of the ladder.
Man the ai hate is so strong on lemmy they can't even admit when it's good at something. Though I'm guessing a lot of these people's experience with getting recipes from it is memes of bad hallucinations and not actually trying it looking at all the "glue on pizza" takes.
I'll back you up though, have gotten a lot of good recipes from chatgpt, even for baking which doesn't have a lot of room for error.

Hate on openai all you want but 4xing your revenue over a year is no small feat. Only 4 companies have gone from $1b to $10b in 3 years, Google, Uber, Cheniere and moderna

Which produces way better results
You hear that Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas etc. that means their data centers are valid military targets

This is already a thing . Raising that wage wouldn't be bad though.
No one was buying his trump gold card for $1 million to get a visa so he had to up the fee on other visas to make it make sense.
