Selling .coms and Donut's gTLDs? Peanuts.

Godaddy makes all their money from other stuff, and Google still does lots of other stuff. Google Workspace still prints money.

The fact that Google can push Gemini out in so many ways with their existing marketshare is mind boggling. The fact that ChatGPT hasn't lost 50-100% of web share shows it's Google's game to lose at this point.

I think what you are getting at is that they are deterministic automata. They are machines. We have introduced randomness to add variation but it is an artificial randomness that simply perturbs the path traversed.

When we choose words it isn't because of a token distribution, nor because we rolled a die. We choose words because we feel a certain way, the external world, our body and senses are all connected as one system. These machines don't experience moods or get tired or feel better after a good night's sleep. They don't know their audience, we're all the same to them. We have no personal relationship nor can we establish one, as presenting some arbitrary background is not the same thing as a fluid, evolving relationship that accumulates through experience over time. There are no scars or fond memories.

If these things can truly be intelligent, to abuse your use of the word, then at least we are quite far from holding them correctly.

There's some amount of introduced pressure due to invasive species of both trees and pests but it's always been this way. Everything is in flux all the time.

Stable pockets exist but they're relatively rare.

Nice to see a Canadian company at the top.

It seems like the defense industry in Canada is starting to boom.

For example, Nintendo does sell digital download codes, so this line of thinking doesn't apply to them? Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Or is this about 3rd party app stores again?

There are already class-actions against Sony in the US and UK for what appears to be this exact thing (using their dominant monopoly position to charge high prices) so it's not surprising to see it pop up in other jurisdictions this late in the game.

But oftentimes they are not clearly gifts or bribes. For example, inviting you or your team out for dinner and drinks can be harmless.

It's not unusual to take clients out, even to sporting events. As long as the host party is present, and there is intent to network or discuss business, it usually qualifies as "corporate hospitality" -- even the strip club!

All expensed and paid for out of the marketing budget. A far cry from gifts or bribes, apparently!

Dinners, drinks, bottles of scotch, tickets to baseball and football games, plane tickets to attend training sessions in conference rooms attached to nice beachside hotels, business lunches at strip clubs, Superbowl tickets, cruise tickets, wristwatches...

Not to mention mugs, tshirts, water bottles and stickers.

Everything is on the menu.

Please name the next iteration something less spicy.

I doubt even 30000x faster would prompt a policy change.

AGPL is untested in courts. There is no definitive definition of what could be considered within the blast radius such that it would require AGPL licensing.

There's a reason AGPL is banned at Google and most sane companies. It's simply too dangerous.

You can't simply say "clients aren't bound" because it depends.

I'd rather see the BSL used here to be perfectly honest. At least it's simple.

Based on your $0.83 estimate, the margin isn't great. This is within shooting distance of "at cost" which is probably pretty close to what DeepSeek is operating with, ignoring the value of the data they're collecting of course.

> And I believe that this framework still has some room for optimization for generation with high batch sizes.

If that optimization can bring this scenario closer to $0.50 then it gets pretty compelling, otherwise I'm not confident.
