1. It literally learns on data and gives outputs based on the context. I'm sure real time updating of weights will happen sooner than later.

2. What does intelligence have to do with feelings? It clearly doesn't learn like a human. Nor does it have to. Our world is filled with intelligence which behaves nothing like humans. Its a tool not another life form.

Why does it need to empathise with something that doesn't have feelings in the first place? It clearly can learn from context. And experience? Again I don't see why it needs to feel anything.

LLM frontier companies are more akin to infrastructure like chips and airplanes and the internet than applications built on top of it. There will be products built on top of them that generate revenue.

eg. processors are needed for everything on the planet. No Intel isn't going to generate annual revenue in the trillions because of that. In the case of frontier companies the moat is even smaller with dozens of players competing. LLMs will become a low-cost commodity. You meanwhile can make billions building applications using them though.

I see it's important but trillions? How did you quantify that number?

Claude Code has millions of users and like I said had been using the 1.4 canary a lot earlier than 3 months. But even 3 months is an absurdly impressive timeline for this. And its even more insane to think LLMs are only going to get better. Jeez.

1.4 also adds a lot of features so its more than a port. Plus Claude Code has been using the rust port since atleast July 19. So its definitely less than 3 months.

Huh Tata is the best selling EV manufacturer in India.

Their new Chery tieup is utilizing the Freelander architecture from the Chery and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) joint venture in China instead of a pricier internal or JLR roadmap. Remember they own JLR.

This is for their new premium EV line.

Weirdly the only people I know who hates AI wholeheartedly is in tech.

Lets see how that reasoning works out in court then. SEBI sent them a caution notice earlier asking them to stop and they didn't. Calling it a "simple arbitrage" is silly.

Standard arbitrage? JS bought stocks worth 572 crores and sold options worth an effective short value of 8,751 crores. 15x more. You dont short 15x your long position to do arbitrage. They were moving the market to suit their positions.

And I'm saying wallstreet has a reputation of breaking the rules. Like a lot. Are you suggesting regulatory bodies in the US are somehow better? The whitehouse literally has a shitcoin.

Bloomberg is not some universally unbiased source respected by everyone in the world. And SEBI is a trusted entity for most Indians. Most Indians trusting SEBI over Bloomberg shouldn't be shocking.

Again. Be better. Even if you disagree with the person you had no excuse for being such a vile person. Look inwards and fix yourself.

I hope you are a bot. Because its just sad if you are a real person with such hatred within them. Why exactly are you mad right now? Because someone called out Bloomberg publishing an incorrect article regarding India recently? And that prompted you to type out such vile sentences?
