LOL. A thief accusing someone else of theft.

Also, I love their choice of words. Like "distillation against", "stealing proprietary technology" - it's all aimed at certain people.

> People want to get spoon fed all information they need, especially since AI - no?

It's definitely true to some extent, but you can't generalize "people" to some uniform group, we have various needs.

There is a lot of distrust against Google and Microsoft here, also when they opensource stuff, and Chromium and AOSP are great counterexamples.

> human rights and all that rubbish

While I understand your point, please think a bit how you formulated the sentence above.

I almost choked on my tea when I read that. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed. A shocking turn of phrase, and one that IMHO catastrophically devalues the nominally valid argument underlying that post.

To be fair, both of America's frontier labs that fearmongered safety and human rights folded immediately during wartime.

It's pretty glaringly obvious that "safety" research is a complete sham that is consistently ignored at every point in AI's development.

What do you mean by "folded during wartime"? When did wartime start, and who folded?

Anthropic and OpenAI both immediately reneged their safety/wartime limits when the feds confronted and threatened them.

Now their technologies are being used in a brushfire war half the world over.

I think it's well formulated.

I heard this false justification already in 2007, in spite of many customers asking for it.

Incidentaly, smaller competitors solved this issue decades ago, while the big cloud decided it is more convenient never to implement it.

Big cloud didn't want to rewrite its billing systems from scratch to please its smallest customers.

With AI it should take like a weekend.

I think they already tried rewriting billing with AI. Very smartly they only tried rewriting the estimator first. This post is about the outcome of it.

Weekend is too long bro! With AI they can weite 50 implementations in a single prompt. They clearly are using tooo many humans and that's why they're lagging

More AI will 100% fix the issue lol

They clearly know it but have to pretend otherwise to keep the money flowing.

right, but the business arm will always be dominant. I see what Chinese models are doing as the same as japanese car models in the 80s: producing smaller, more efficient products that address the realities of the "total addressable market" that no business model would support. They're, unfortunately, providing public value where the US and Europe used to tread.

There's a lot to make efficient, but it should be clear to everyone that just throwing compute at larger models isn't going to magically make it rain.

> I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes.

I'm sorry to break it to you but the sentence you just wrote doesn't contain any —s.

Not the use case for em-dashes. en-dash maybe, but they also didn't say they use en-dashes instead of hyphens.

I always find it strange how many HN commenters appear to have unconsciously added "exclusively" or "without exception" to the text of the comment they're replying to.

Suppose someone wants to play this game, what's the point? Not to mention the fact that Gnome, even though is not a GNU project, literally means GNU Network Object Model Environment.

> Eventually the pricing should be more stable.

Why do you think so? This game can be played forever, you just need strong marketing and orgs gullible enough to pay a higher price for a minor upgrade.

> As it turns out, when someone (your wife) gets arrested and tells you to do "whatever you need to do" and "move whatever you need to move at the house", it is highly illegal to then proceed to do so.

If it was my wife, I'd probably do my best to save her.

This didn't save his wife. You are free to help your wife in non-illegal ways.

I'm free to help my wife by any means necessary, thanks.

Would you kill? Kidnap? Crash a plane into a building?
