wow these prices are fucked. you can reuse glass indefinitely, lids are fine too, just clean them. when lids corrode you can replace them separately because these come in just a couple of standard diameters. for example 0.5L and 1L jars have (one of two types of) 82mm lids, and 0.3L jars have 66mm lids. these come in 50 packs and cost (first offer i've found, not specifically going for cheapest option) close to 7 and 6 euro per respectively. 50 pack of 0.3L jars is 23 euro here
claude has something like 1/30 of chatgpt userbase, it's not relevant and anthropic can't pick up opeai users when (not if) it collapses. also somehow they are even faster at burning their money
all your favourite boutique ocean-boiling nonsense generators combined, compared to openai products, have something like fifth of their userbase on mobile app and something like 2/3 on website. without counting deepseek (data from february - it was very fresh back then), it's closer to eigth on app and third on website
“why not pay experiences machinists to videotape what they’re doing os their work can be automated”
none of these people had a job in manufacturing, or even possibly any real job, it's called CNC and there are way better tools for making it work than stochastic parrot
e: ok at least op is a machinist
Interestingly, many of these models also score at or above the level of some human experts on visual reasoning benchmarks like MMMU. That which is easy to measure often doesn't correlate with real world usefulness.
benchmarks could be perhaps possibly fucked with? say it aint so!
My high level impression when reading the response is “someone who can parrot textbook knowledge but doesn’t know what they’re talking about”.
with corpus consisting of toy problems only, and with solutions that depending on field can kill whoever uses these
If OpenAI’s funding round with Softbank goes as planned, it’ll raise the equivalent of the entire GDP of Estonia — a fairly wealthy country itself, and one that’s also a member of Nato and the European Union. That alone should give you a sense of the truly insane scale of this.
so not only saltman is capable of burning enough power to be comparable to middle-sized euro country, he can also burn small euro country gdp
they are not serious people. damn if i only started grifting instead of getting socially useful skillset
if you want authenticity, just get good fucking moderation running, but noooo, this involves paying people (giving money away?? this is not how billionaires are made) and can't be grifted on
wait, what do you mean "integrating it into workflows". this juicero of outsourcing won't work as advertised and it's probably cheaper and less prone to fucking up to hire a couple of southeastern asians or eastern europeans. as long as business is selling of these juiceros, they'll be fine as long as they can find suckers. these suckers, tho, might be in trouble even before openai goes under for unrelated reasons
as long as you can mark it up and as long as the charade lasts, and as long as there's someone willing to pay, this will make money. when spicy autocomplete provider collapses just pack your bags and leave
some things perun notes that i hadn't because i haven't followed the entire situation closely: that trade deficit calculation uses goods only, not services, and this is most of what sv exports; eu might retaliate against sv oligarchs specifically. also we're in times where it's necessary to pull up american govt pages from internet archive to make a point. fun. also chatbot-cooked policy looks suspiciously like chatbot solution to a entry level econ course toy problem with loads of very unusual assumptions, which are discussed too.
maybe stable genius tries to bring american wages closer to global average
it must be comforting to think that there's some bigger plan, and they can't possibly be this stupid and incompetent
(by now i do think that they're this stupid and incompetent, and if it appears that there's no plan going forward it is because there was never one. they're malicious, see Zelensky visit, and can plan perhaps a week in advance, but nowhere near sophisticated enough to come up with this)
