Quote of the Day

[OpenAI Chief Sam] Altman is, in essence, the Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf [Baghdad Bob] of tech — the Saddam-era Iraqi Minister of Information who, as Abrams tanks entered Baghdad and gunfire could be heard in the background, proclaimed an entirely counterfactual world where the coalition forces weren’t merely losing, but American troops were “committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad.” It’s adorable, and yes, it’s also understandable, but nobody should — or could — believe that OpenAI hasn’t just suffered some form of existential wound.
Edward Zitron, on the shock from DeepSeek's efficient and competitive AI model shows that, "The American tech industry is incurious, lazy, entitled, directionless and irresponsible.

I have always said that the enormous capital demanded by LLM artificial intelligence is a feature, not a bug.

Their goal was to use the enormous investment that they were demanding to create a moat around the field which they could then use to extort monopoly rents.

Not any more.
