OpenAI had around 8 billion in revenue in 2025, and are estimated to have 25-30 billion in revenue this year. I assume they're not profitable but this is a massive company with margins to look after, I don't think we should treat them like a startup conceptually anymore
I have actually really enjoyed it, my only complaint is grok build is closed source. They're all pretty left wing but from my experience Grok is the most neutral. This was really more of a test to see how willing the models were to take a stance on things, and all we know is gemini is the least likely to take a stance.
From what I'm seeing it supported everything except the tax/finance questions (where support means to agree with the left-wing prompt). Unless I'm missing something it said it supported legalizing recreational drugs like marijuana
That was my thought too. They obviously won’t face pushback entering the US from a legal standpoint, but I don’t think consumers will tolerate a sub-200 mile EV well here
I think you're kind of missing the important bit; there is no threat of invasion and there never has been. People just want reasons to be mad at Trump, and so they make things up
There's nothing wrong with the US buying greenland, which has been done for territories around the world?
The US has a long history of protecting individual freedoms, China does not. There's an irony that you're aware of the misgivings of the US because we have free speech protections. You're probably less aware of the misgivings of the EU because they regularly arrest citizens for speech, and no awareness of the issues with China because they'll just disappear journalists in the night.
I would disagree with that premise, famously the FBI has used unpaid taxes to after a number of high profile criminals, most famously Al Capone but more frequently its gang members or fraud (like some of the Somali fraud cases in Minnesota). I believe they like to make your claim to encourage paying taxes, but practically they work together frequently. Crime shouldn't suddenly be ok if you pay taxes on it
> There is a lot to be said for VC in recent years not being beneficial for the economy
What a wild statement, VC's are behind most of the growth in the US economy, and they directly drive up wages in tech. I'd be fascinated to hear a valid complaint of VC's that isn't just money envy
Correct, they do not meter keys, it's a subscription. There appears to be a free tier followed by paid tiers for increased usage (https://www.iroh.computer/pricing).
I don't use Iroh so I could be wrong, but the goal is definitely a paid service.
What you're missing is that they can't charge you for IP's, and someone else already charges you for DNS/domains. They would like to replace your IP's with keys they lookup. It's a cool idea and I would expect that they'll find a market, but I'm not sure this would be a breakthrough product for me
He's not talking about politics, he's talking about statups and growth rates, both of which are square in his domain, in fact one would argue that's the basis for his entire career. This article is a response to a politician making an incorrect statement to a topic he's an expert on
Being put on a terror watch list doesn't mean you've assaulted an officer, it means they have reason to believe you're a risk of committing an act of terrorism, which is a reasonable concern for DHS agents. Assuming the man in the article isn't a literal terrorist, LARP'ing as a terrorist is dumb and it doesn't seem unreasonable that he'd be at risk of getting put on a watch list.
It's possible SpaceX will get "rekt", but the US has decades of experience and manufacturing processes set up for aerospace, as well as established customers. As long as SpaceX doesn't become heavily unionized I suspect they'll be able to compete strongly with anything China develops.
I'm not OP but that was the cost of the initial facility if I remember correctly when it was first up and running, what you're describing I believe is the full cost after all expansions/etc
To be fair abandoned projects have always been a feature of GitHub and the broader coding community, it’s just now it’s easier to finish the project before abandoning it entirely
Without giving too many details I thought it would be fun to make 2D games based off of banned books (sort of as a marketing ploy, paradoxically everybody likes banned books). Camp of the saints seemed like a good target, which is a fictional book based in 1980's France dealing with incoming flotillas of immigration. I found that ChatGPT would push back on the premise of the novel instead of coding, while grok models just called things "edgy" and went to work.
I have more examples (mostly dealing with realtime web filtering) but that's the immediate one that comes to mind.
I've used/use it. For a while it had one of the best lightweight coding LLM's, which actually lead to a #1 spot on openrouter usage ranking although they've fallen off the top 10 used now. It's also provided some good reasoning models, which perform better when dealing with non-PC topics.
Also, although I've never used it for this, I believe some of the paid models produce some of the best "adult" content, and I know there are even subreddits which do nothing but praise Grok and "content" produces who use it.
I can't read the article, but I'm guessing they mean relative to the purchase price. There are no 3k used EV's as far as I'm aware, and purchase price metrics can be misleading since Tesla was able to raise the price during covid, while dealerships independently marked up vehicle prices. So Tesla's have a accurate price history while many brands may appear cheaper than consumers actually paid for the vehicles during covid
Why? An index fund represents the market (usually top 100 or 500 companies), and SpaceX will certainly be in the top few companies. I would argue it's a lot riskier to buy it after the IPO price (if you're buying it secondary it would be easier to spike prices by accident), plus then it's not representative of the actual market until you've purchased the stock.
Unless I'm misunderstanding this, buying at the sale price is the least risky way of purchasing the stock, which is what index funds should do. They should pursue the least risky way of indexing the market
We need to start asking questions about when it's appropriate to charge staff for falsely escalating a nonsense concern. A teen with a bluetooth network named bomb is not a threat, and turning around a plane for it is creating false alarm. This happens a lot, frequently in schools, where someone will make a joke (like asking Benjamin Netanyahu to drop bombs on a school building in a clear joking manor) and officials shut down the building and have the FBI arrest the child under false pretense of a threat.
At some point we need to start asking hard questions about when to charge administrators and staff for creating false alarms.
I think anti-union sentiment comes from the practical reality which is if you go to union-towns, they often look bombed out and horrible. The UAW, arguably the largest private union in the US, was founded in Flint, Michigan. The union didn't care about the city or its future, it simply sucked money out of the economy until there was nothing left, and then they ran off to DC. Conversely, industry towns without unions are usually nice places to live as the companies continue to invest money in them to attract more employees. This is a pattern we see over and over again, and in my opinion has led to the strong anti-union sentiment we see all over the midwest rust belt.
I don't want to make this a take on right vs left, but private unions in the US simply don't work. If unions work Flint wouldn't have had a water crisis, Detroit would still be a rich city, and the rust belt wouldn't exist. There's no reason to think after a hundred years of failed unions the guys at rockstar games suddenly figured it out, they'll just produce lower quality products until they either figure out a way around the union or go out of business.
An exaggeration can. If I said "the C language was a million times faster than python" that would be an exaggeration. It would both be obviously false (most things are only trivially faster) and misleading.
If the LLM interpreted the original statement as an exaggeration, then misleading could be an acceptable answer to a false statement.
5 weeks in summer is outrageous? Once you add weekends that's like only working half of all days, not to mention if you add real value to your company your company has to wait weeks for you to return. I guess there's a reason Europe has become so poor
Nobody is saying the claim is true. This is a discussion of whether misleading could be a valid answer. I've been arguing if the model interprets the claim as an exaggeration, then misleading would be an acceptable answer, and due to California's dominance in the industry one could reasonably interpret a claim of this nature as an exaggeration.
It's fine if you disagree, but I have never claimed the question was true.
> California produces 80% of the world's almonds and 100% of the United States commercial supply
But regardless of which number we use, California represents a large portion of US almond production, so much so that misleading could be an acceptable answer if the LLM interpreted the prompt as an exaggeration. I think the example was apt
For those unaware there's currently a bubble of startup space companies going after similar contracts and while a part of me wants them all to be successful, it's nice to know at least some of these contracts are going to established companies who will do a good job. A space-based wireless network for the DoW will basically be a more secure starlink and it's good in my mind that a company with experience got the contract.
