They have to do exactly this in Australia and a burger is still $20-22 all up.

It wasn’t night for all of Asia or Europe?

Sure but the robots that extend our capabilities often start by replicating our current capabilities, even if those are as simple as folding clothes. It provides a baseline for the next generation of robots that can do more.

Is there evidence of any state-sponsored bots at all? It seems like this has become an accepted fact but I don’t see any data indicating it’s actually real.

This is the key though: it’s not just supposed subsidies, because the Chinese companies are fundamentally just faster and more efficient

I’m convinced this is a joke by Ives cause there’s no way he’d approve that description without checking it had 90 degrees

Off topic, but how do you operate without email? Is it not essential for many government services and utilities where you are?

(Here, it is technically optional for utilities but is an additional $10/month to have your electricity bill posted to you instead of emailed. The tax office requires email as does my bank though - I just checked.)

Batch can take up to 24 hours (and often does) and may never complete if it gets cancelled so it’d be hard to build a user workflow around unless you kick off planning on Friday and come back Monday

Outlook and iCloud support a subset (like tickets and reservations) too

For $0.70/call, why don’t you take the offer? Surely that’s extremely profitable for you?

> Preliminary trials with Claude Mythos Preview showed that it would not provide an apples-to-apples comparison with other models because of how we had set up the experiment and how the model was served.

What does this mean? My guess is they couldn’t co-locate Mythos close enough to reduce latency?

(I’m assuming this experiment pre-dates the export controls)

The problem is that hasn’t been the case for 50 years

Mistral (French) for one but several governments have sponsored projects too

The Chinese labs would only go dark if they believe they’ve surpassed the American labs, otherwise what benefit is there to them to refrain from sharing the models? Better to have all of their allies able to use the same models by making them public
