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

This will be fantastic for voice. I presume Apple will use it

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.

I am pretty sure these cars still exist in Japan at roughly the same price point. I'm not talking about kei cars, either.

That's absurd! I hope it's all sorted out now. Personally hoping my kids won't have trouble when they turn 18 and have to interview.

Yes and in the British system names can be fluid, changed at will with no declarations being made. That’s how my mother was able to register my birth with the surname of her mother’s third (!) marriage. Birth certificates are also immutable in certain ways but not entirely everything on it is immutable.

Not to mention the passport office has forgotten previous decisions for my own passport where this sort of surname discrepancy has been explained away. (Including one passport where I am listed on a page of her passport!)

The NPCs are infuriating. I called, emailed and received a different answer every time. It was like a poor LLM.

After applying I had to explain to my mother that within the same batch of applications, one daughter required additional UK documents but the other one didn’t (the passport came), purely because one was born in the UK and the other one wasn’t. She rightly flipped out, raised it with an MP and it was resolved within a day.

I just went through hell this with one of my daughters. She was born in Japan and I had a hard time getting my mother’s surname matching what was on my birth certificate.

Long story short, I demonstrated I was born in England and that I have citizenship (a passport) so no matter the possibility, it must be something that can be passed on. That doesn’t match the guidelines of documents required but it’s much less of a pain I reckon.

I live in Japan and get paid in a different currency. Changing jobs feels out of the question now.
