It's not just the funding but the jobs themselves. Universities and even the funding bodies want to show shiny easy-to-digest numbers to their stakeholders to justify tuition and government funds. Which means these institutions in turn expect those numbers from their researchers, who then are happy to comply and build their paper mills and citation cartels, solving no real problems at best and producing fake data at worst.

Something that gets overlooked here is that most people will associate the early players for a particular kind of AI (OpenAI) with being at the forefront. Even if there are 100 competitors offering the same service with similar quality, sticking to the best-known provider gives confidence to enterprise buyers, especially when they have to explain the purchase to their bosses or shareholders. This, and the ability to attract and retain top talent, will continue to be an advantage of the early winners as long as they also continue to focus on pushing the boundaries and don't fall too far behind when competitors come up with new advances. Heck, they can even relax and cash out after a while and continue to reap the benefits, like IBM continues to do for enterprise computing even to this day despite (shamefully) not caring to be at the forefront anymore.

How did the other FTX kids get away with it so easy? It feels like prosecutors gave them deals too generous just to get SBF convicted more easily.

Is there any place in the world where it isn't that way? Honest question.

How could SBF pay his victims back fully if he doesn't have enough assets?

Click on the top link to understand what's going on. The point is that ChatGPT purportedly generated that nonsensical answer to a human prompt and Google somehow picked it up as the top search result for that query.

No built-in regulation perhaps, but many jurisdictions are starting to regulate it, for good reason.

Not quite, it seems...

Pouët (https://pouet.net) from the demoscene. Yes, it's programming, but at the intersection with art and retro culture.

In this job market, it's hard. And many engineers are on H1B visas so it's even harder to jump ship.

More like 10% in voluntary attrition afterward, if not more. And those will be the best people. Incredibly damaging to the company.

So they can talk to the representatives. They cannot make them remove the app.
