It would also take a lot of money. The sticker price I've seen for the ad business is around $100B, but then you need to pay for data centers and engineers capable of delivering the code extracted from Google. I imagine the overlap in code base at the operational level is non-negligible, as is the data about people

Bluesky / ATProto is a better iteration that can be so much more in the long run

No personalized algo in bsky. I don't want to see a thousand low quality post from a specific feed.

The Discovery feed is personalized and very reminiscent of the twitter feed.

The open protocol nature also means anyone can write any feed that works any way they want for anyone to use


The discovery feed is barely functional . Dosen't learn what i want to see nor does the search . Open protocol and api is bskys best feature that i love but a real algo isn't one git clone away for average user nor it is is financially viable.

oooooo.... that... does sound more like me.

You can purchase anti-theft purple die which is used in retail devices for not very much money. We had a problem in my previous building with someone getting through the locked vestibule and stealing packages. Had.

Two points of consideration for the end game

1. Do the Ukrainian get to be a self determining people? Are the free to join any alliance or economic group that will have them? Are they the ones who get to decide how much land they will trade for this?

2. What does the outcome tell other would be invaders? Does the Western alliance defend their ideals or cave to using force to take what you want?

One cannot evaluate the end game of Ukraine independent of the other global hot points in the Middle East and Asia. The autocrats have formed an alliance and seek to undermine democracy wherever and whenever they can.


I think number 1 is the essential point for anyone supporting democracy. Ukrainians, not Russians, decided who they elect as their leaders (1) and which organizations they want to join. It is depressing to hear people in democracies arguing otherwise.

As for point two: Yes it is also massively in the interest of democracies, that Ukraine wins and Europe is strengthened.

I think Stoltenberg summed up it up nicely in (2)

>So supporting Ukraine is not only the morally right thing to do. It is also in our own security interest.

(1) Queue Russian non-sense about Maidan being a western coup.

That would lend credibility and help them scale in the long run

Tesla should have built the $25k model instead of the cyber yruck


The Ionic 6 is a fantastic alternative to the Model 3, recently picked one of these up as my first EV after seeing the rave reviews online

Bluesky/ATProto is becoming a better alternative to Xitter every day (this week The Daily Show and the US Dept of Consumer Protection joined)


For Uber, car prices and salaries go up over time naturally

For computing, silicon has become cheaper and more efficient over time

I expect a race to the bottom and then some stabilization, much like we have seen in general cloud computing, and have seen with token prices


"For Uber, car prices and salaries go up over time naturally"

Or, your VC money runs out and you start treating your gig workers like crap to save a few cents here and there.


The bottom can still be pretty high! Storage has become an order of magnitude cheaper, yet I still don't bother with block storage pricing

Dedicated or S3 is where it's at, still plenty of room for gamification


The point is the VC money funding something unsustainable (burning through billions). Token prices will never be zero IMO.

Yes they will. They are already, if you run local models, that are only getting better. There are 7-11B models that are as good as ChatGPT 3.5

Token costs are not zero when you’re running local models, because you paid for the hardware, and you can’t scale inference indefinitely without paying for more hardware.

Ok, but running a 11B model gets things 60% of the time right and consumes maximum of electricity of your machine. Not sure if that makes you product the best. Further video generation is very compute intensive. I guess price will decrease over time but the technical advance will allways be for the smarter model

> and consumes maximum of electricity of your machine

OpenAI isn't a eletricity company so the token prize is still zero for what is worth for VCs.

> but the technical advance will allways be for the smarter model

Not true. Currently, the small models are advancing much faster with daily new releases
