great for consumers, great for OpenAI, great for Amazon, not so great for MS / Azure (seems like they don't care anyways)

I will never understand why people post these clearly ai-generated articles under their personal name without at least disclosing they didn't write it. If you don't tell the agent otherwise, they have a very predictable markdown structure (these 5-6 word summary headers before every paragraph), a predictable length, and of course full of em dashes. Immediately removes credibility- no issues reading something that's ai-written but when you see these markers it just screams low effort. Like you're being duped, used some AI article to get traffic to their site and you fell for it.

100%, a driving factor will likely be how good we can make models that are so small they use almost no compute. Until then it is a race for adoption and moat-building (or screwing people over?) once you have users

Yes, and they were accepted. A year or two ago I would have been less confident but now almost UX is happy to cite sources.

Agreed- my comment was tongue-in-cheek.

A literal example is that I can use AI to file my taxes instead of spending a weekend and hundreds of dollars to have an accountant do it for me. It costs me like $5. that 245$ delta is the value of that output to me, as long as I am confident it is correct.

You are making the assumption that the models are only used / paid for by 2.5% of the population (your knowledge workers value). There will be new value created by these models which people are happy to pay for which simply did not exist at all before. It is also naive to say that the hyperscalers are going to be expecting a return on this in 5 years, it will be entirely propped up by investments / IPOs as has been the case with any tech company for decades now to reach scale. The hyperscalers are currently spending ~650b combined annually, which they have the cash for and can sell in future compute instantly.

This is surely a huge blow to all the hyperscalers looking to build datacenters in the agricultural regions of Italy.

Funny the European and US models have the same price. effectively a 20% discount buying it in europe.

Even if someone could buy this off she shelf and install themselves- I don't see a single use case that would make this cool at this power level (eg. EV conversions- 200hp is slow in almost anything!)

Anthropic actually not so bad. Anthropic models code good, usually. Price not so high compared to time to do it by self.

jgbuddy — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:28:49 +0000

What would the alternative have been? Not reporting that they were purchased at all?

The premise here seems to be that spacex purchased the trucks for the sole purpose of inflating the tesla reporting, which of course makes no sense from a business perspective
