<p>This shows a problem with the English language: the same sentence can be understood in at least two ways: "the server can now work as a phone", or "the phone is now my server". It is to solve this kind of issue that many languages have markers to specify what each noun means in the sentence.</p>

<p>You're kidding yourself if you don't realize that the US gov can have access to any data they want in any of these US-based products. That's why they consider so important to "win" the development race for LLMs. It is a matter of continuing to access and control data that most of the world needs, as China has already closed the door to them.</p>

<p>> incredibly sophisticated companies<p>We need to stop thinking that just because they have money they're incredibly sophisticated. We have a few examples like Mark Zuckerberg, who had early success with FB, but he seems to be incapable of investing in profitable products. E. Musk: great at selling his companies, but laughably bad at making profits at the same level of expenses. Sam Altman: never had a real job he did well other than raising money. This is the kind of people that control these companies.</p>

<p>Also, a lot of real estate is owned by the Hollywood investors or their close friends, so this is a circular economy where they get rich, then buy property in that place and get even richer with real estate increasing in value. The same thing happened in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and many other places.</p>

<p>EVs continue to be expensive in the US. But the trajectory is the opposite in the rest of the world due to the benefit of Chinese exports. In Brazil, for example, new car prices have a now a discount of up to $10K, all due to increased competition from China.</p>

<p>When you're a foreigner learning a language your experience is mostly from reading. There are words, however, that are much more common at home and in spoken language. So you'll probably never learn the words that a 10 year old kid knows.</p>

<p>Yes, it is relatively easy to find any solution to a bug. It is hard to find the root cause and change only what is necessary to fix the bug. AI makes it very efficient to "fix" bugs with code that needs to be fixed again later. The big problem in fixing bugs is understanding what is causing it, not to suggest a temporary "bug fix".</p>

<p>Bingo. The issue is not lack of knowledge but prioritization at these companies. Microsoft has the ability to fix Windows bugs, they just think it's secondary compared to adding their own new bug ridden features.</p>

<p>Business schools teach advertising, not business management. In modern business it is a crime to tell the truth about the dire situation a business is in, unless a CEO is starting anew to fix a situation left by another, and even then it rarely happens.</p>

<p>That's nonsense, people pretend that a "frontier model" is the most important technology ever, but we know for sure it cannot be because several companies are doing copycats of one another. It is not China that is doing much effort to copy-cat, it's the US companies that are copying one another. The only real barrier in this technology is how many Nvidia chips you can buy and how much data you can get to train your LLM. All these models are basically moving in the same trajectory, it is essentially a very expensive copy-paste job they're doing.</p>
