So to make the APIs stateless (the "ideal" where they don't use server side sessions/etc) we ended up with this. I'm sorry but this is kind of hilarious. Given the salaries paid to the workers at these companies and the hype of the models, I can't believe they all fell to the same flaw.

Yeah. I’m guessing they’re behind the Chinese models in capability now

I guess Demis was about world models and the old talent saw the writing on the wall. Noam was a big one and this is just a continuation of that.

Don’t understand how Sundar is still running things, though.

For code can't they distill from public GitHub commits? If they could figure out who used Mythos/Fable assitance in the commits.

DDoS is just one of the impetuses for a service provider be MiTM'd

Yeah I'm sure one day it will transpire Cloudflare is affliated with intelligence agencies too. The solution to a "sudden DDoS" is to put their website behind Cloudflare. Wonder who can do those sudden attacks?

Wouldn't trust them not to take a copy and use it to distill. Wonder what security there is

Does this imply we don't need as much compute for models/agents? How can any other AI model compete against that?

If HBO is ringfenced and funded then fine. Otherwise we're fucked.

Just the 1st tranche of shares would be like $6 billion at $220 so if they borrow against that they can fund it. If the hype continues they keep it going

I think OpenAI will try and continue this elsewhere, which would be pretty worrying. It lets them not give up any equity, just use their name to pump stocks and earn capital.

I don't know why Bloomberg TV are asking where this money comes from for OpenAI. It comes from the AMD stock holders. If the AMD stock pumps then OpenAI gets free money to buy more, without giving up equity. If it doesn't then OpenAI just walk away.

OpenAI are also using the market to fund some of their rollout instead of going public/giving up equity.

I could always see how useful it is for criminal enterprise. That doesn't mean I want in. I wish I could avoid it altogether. Alas even stocks in my ETF holdings are proxies for some cryptocurrencies.

Yes, Cloudflare would be the ideal point for spy agencies to MITM things. It wouldn't surprise me if the funding for it came from them. And since they sit in between, many API audit logs wouldn't even flag intrusions because everything would look like you'd done it.

It's not just chats, is it? It says "coding sessions" too.
