There is no way Iran didn't gain on this, US would be lucky to hit status quo. The clown in chief is a moron and they know it and will exploit it.

Why? What's wrong with some non determism if Intuit foots any mistakes? I am all for AI auto filling taxes where the filer offering takes the burden.

Absolutely not, I think they prioritize it because it's internal. I to expect to see a stronger marketing push on its ability to do language translations because there is honestly value in that. Question is when they have compute but it's less crisis marketing then their security stuff so I'd see it at a lower priority. I just don't think it's as honest as the parent post posits

I disagree. This is the same sort of marketing strategy as Mythos.Wow it out performed so much we have to tell you in the future. If he wasn't aligned financially with the outcome I'd agree but he's not

Oh come on now, you know you are arguing in bad faith. Explain how the BTC in anyway synergized and drove value for anything GME did. MSTR has a BTC leverage angle that GME has never had so it's not even an apt comparison.

Maybe pick a more restrictive modding engine or cut out obvious fetish and meme material from evaluation? Even gems of games ala Factorio 1.0 aren't really as good as their peak mods ala Space Exploration. If you limited to larger scale overhaul style mods I think your economic argument starts collapsing quickly

Why do you think it can't sexually harass someone or drive people to suicide. There are already lawsuits coming in on it causing suicides.

This is an architecture that people are increasing begging to give network connectivity that can't differentiate its system prompt from user input

We need only ask the dead. Aaron Schwartz knew what Altman is. The answer to the topic is no.

Cost cut them. You think the administration won't take a bribe at that point?

Why not just research it outside of the US if the problem is the FDA cost

The deep scan detected all phishing sites correctly with the unfortunate tagging of legit sites as phishing too. I imagine their code looks something like isPhishing = true.

Isn't half the appeal of AI that they can write a prompt like move all my text history from OpenAI to Claude and then they do it?

Especially since it's a public ledger. Anyone with a program watching the chain is going to see it. From there they can exercise whatever trade they want for their gain.

Ah yes because trade secrets were never a thing at any of these companies. The companies always shut down when it's founding members died wiping out all the knowledge it had built up.

That is to say organizations have always had this edge on individuals.

Is there? Covid stimulus would say there isn't. Granted a company raising wages doesn't print money out of air like the Fed but the amount of goods doesn't change, the cost of the goods adjusts to the monetary supply. You now pay more for the same.
