>3.5 Flash was more expensive than 3.1 Pro to run the Artifical Analysis test suite

That's everything I needed to know.

You are seeing batch inference, standard inference is $1.5/$9. I was excited until I saw that price.

Isn't Devin AI basically a scam, selling an "AI Software Engineer" when no such thing exists.

Uh... maybe because he doesn't want to use technology that gives power to someone like Elon Musk, who is well known for propagating right-wing propaganda.

>I feel like OpenAI is pursuing AGI

I don't think so, the "AGI guy" was Ilya Sutskever, he is gone, he wanted to make OpenAI "less comercial", AGI is just a buzzword for Altmann.

So... not wanting to have people around with enough money to buy a US president is... Marxism?

That's pretty much what Altman said about GPT-3 (or 2, I don't remember), he said it was too dangerous to release to the public.

>Try loading up a library heavy site (i.e. React plus a half dozen associated helpers for state, UI and whatever, which is pretty common) on an old or cheap Android device.

that was the case in 2015 when entry level android devices were quite slow, nowdays a cheap $200 android phone has at least 4-6GB of RAM and an eight core processor.

if that isn't enough for your react powered site, you are doing something very wrong.

>If you want to create a religion

I think he is making an allusion to Apple's culture.

There's successful companies because their product is good, there's more successful companies because they started early (and it feels like a monopoly: Google, Microsoft), and there's the most successful company that tells you what you are going to buy (Apple's culture).
