Yep. We say cattle not pets, but even cattle often need personal attention for one reason or another. It doesn’t mean you’ll never need that option in your back pocket

They’ll probably need to design new silicon that is much more GPU oriented (with less CPU) than anything they have in the A or even base M series to handle 4k gaming at sub-M Max prices

A console-optimized lower-priced higher-GPU variant of the A series could be useful for local AI in so many products that don’t come with a capable processor (eg homepods, TV, the monitor they put a whole iPhone chip in)

I could see something for around the price of a Mac Mini with a controller that’s og MacBook plastic white/black

> Today, CMI shares in the excitement of the global mathematical community as we contemplate the announcement that the Navier-Stokes problem has apparently been settled. We hope to see waves of new human understanding unleashed as the innovations behind this work are analysed and interrogated.

That “apparently” feels load-bearing

Come on, man. Not allowing products to generate CP is too high of a bar?

By your logic cops should be focused on the junkies, forget about the cartel

If you're willing to trust them with all your source code...kudos, I really wish I had your level of trust and delusion

Same trick that had 737s falling out the sky (obviously different risk level involved in each )

There’s an alternate universe in which OpenAI stays open, licenses according to revenue, Chinese models don’t gain traction in the US because domestic models take all the capacity…whatever, $1T IPO beats the right answer ever time

DrBenCarson — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 02:19:14 +0000

Excellent, that’s what people have been doing for 40 years. Surely that means the models have 0 hope of finding successful attack vectors

Remember when OpenAI were wise enough to know OpenAI should be…open?

Greed will cost America the entire AI market at this rate

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

But yes types are necessary for enterprise adoption. Even more important for agentic adoption.
