I'd say that as OpenAI employee he's kinda biased on the topic

I see quite outdated data. Anthropic listed with valuation 18B and latest round at 4b? Just to compare, their real latest round was 65b with valuation 965b.

It's yet another time when EU is killing our own possibilities to build real competition to US or Chinese tech.

And yet another time they will be thinking aloud in few year "what happened that we are fully dependent on USA?"

Also, new Medium 3.5 is far more expensive than previous Mistral models, and much more expensive than e.g. Deepseek

People who don't ride trains also pay taxes for rail.

People who are not flying are also financing airports from taxes.

This is why butthurt "childless pay taxes for schools but not using them" is super stupid

> Did you ever work a job or were friends with people who did where tipping is a big part of the income?

In the EU people are paid fair salaries for their work, they don't have to beg for money from clients

Then you are assuming it wrong.

I just don't like AI generated stuff, that's it

This sounds like way too much for me.

I wonder when they will add another level and talk to LLM how to talk to another LLM how to talk to another LLM

I missed this disclaimer about it being 100% AI-generated.

In one second I went from "looks cool" to "I don't want to touch it"

I fully agree with you.

I love the idea of open source, but we shouldn't say that something is bad just because it's closed source.

So you can, but don't want to.

You can just use Tailscale or similar service and not fight with setup of Wireguard. It's as simple as installing the app on devices and starting it

I wanted to build a gaming PC around summer, to be able play with my son, but I postponed it for no real reason. I built this PC a 2 weeks ago, so instead of paying 250 pln (~$70 usd) for 32 GB RAM, I paid 899 pln (~$250). Now, exactly the same RAM costs 1099 pln (~$300).

I don't have this problem. I'm using passkey probably on only 1 website (github) but it's working without any issues on all my devices. Maybe it's a password manager issue? I'm a bitwarden user

As always.

- I built a new super-app!

- You built it, or is it just another GPT wrapper?

- ... another wrapper

It's a bad idea. It makes a lot of mistakes and might totally change the meaning of some sentences.

I don't know if this will explain your questions, but years ago I watched this video from Vsauce about this very topic, and IIRC it was explained quite nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s86-Z-CbaHA

Nothing will really change, sadly. Remember log4j? There were also a lot of talking why people working on FOSS should be paid. And after one month almost no one remembered these voices exept for small minority of people.
