I would distill all the cars.

I also have a 500gb Mac. Recently I cleaned up HDD using Daisy Disk whilst asking Claude "do I need this?" questions.

Runs much better now.

People finding a way to tolerate what was previously considered intolerable is pretty much the story of civilization.

You would think, but My 2019 MacBook can barely run an older xcode that doesn't emulate newer phones / tablets.

Some of these responses to my above post are a bit haughty. I'm just reporting from the trenches that the Apple tax is real, not everyone can afford to keep paying up, and a 20% cost increase is huge.

As an app developer, having to eat an ever increasing Mac hardware cost upfront may push people like me to just focus on Android.

I don't think there is much overlap between people capable of building cutting edge LLM's and the people who want to build a cutting edge LLM for the government.

Who will make them the next set of weights?

If a government can just seize the product of someone else's labour, either they will end up as slave owners or without willing workers.

Even if AI is the next combustion engine, would you bet the farm on a C tier buggy whip manufacturer like Oracle being the next Ford or General Motors?

John Jumper Jumps to Anthropic, was right there.

Google's AI is hamstrung by a culture of safetyisim, by that I mean going beyond what we can all recognise as safe limits to protect the user from imaginary ephemeral things like cultural harms.

So maximal safety at all costs is in itself a cost. They can spend billions on AI but that spend is down the toilet if the user bounces because the AI's persona is a relentless politically correct scold.

I'm sure every business can pull out an area and say: this is profitable. It's a classic hide the losses a shell game.

So many shills on HN today, feels sponsored.

They cannot grow indefinitely when they make a loss on every user. More growth = bigger losses.

Current investors should be left holding this shit bag, better them than retirement funds.

These numbers show that OpenAI is boned. They have no path to profitability and if they raise prices or cut services they will strangle their golden goose.

They could have existed indefinitely as a service layer that was reliant on other companies feeling charitable, like Firefox, but they also wanted to get rich.

The commenter above seems to be describing late stage capitalism, where businesses exist mainly to milk investors, as told by bad boy tech executive Dick Jones in the 1980's action movie RoboCop.

This news matters because investors should prefer safer investments than: well at least it's not a "doomsday scenario" grade.

Indeed. Is America really very far from the Soviet planned economy where the Dear Leader would manage what crops got planted, and who would starve?
