While true, Google genuinely has invested the most in computer and energy efficiency for LLMs.

My solution to this spam is that I changed one letter in my LinkedIn name to a Unicode that looks like a letter but isn’t (think math symbol, etc).

If I get email or a message that includes that character, it proves software sent the message and it wasn’t typed by a human.

It could be the Redmond paper in this case. That maybe has a few hundred readers.

Honda started as a motorcycle. Making excellent tiny engines, it made sense to sell them as components to those who need portable combustion power. I used to work in a factory building pressure washers that used Honda.

Branching out from there in to tiny automobiles came later. It likely helped them be experts at high RPM low displacement, which ultimately won out vs what the American engine makers were doing at the time.
