I know a freelance translator and they have more business than ever, AI being "mostly" right is not good enough in many businesses. You need oversight and most importantly - accountability in the form of a human that can put their stamp of approval.

What's your distinction between real time vs multiple steps? All computation is done in steps.

Is it all one big computation? Its turtles all the way down.

Sending email is already cheap, not free. Just so happens the cost is subsidized/hidden for most regular people and its so cheap that they give it away for free. For those of us that run transactional email, the cost is ~ $0.0001 per email for AWS SES, already at the fraction of a fraction of a cent you suggest.

Anyone have any idea what the architecture/vendors they are using for inference/compute?

Getting the compute to run inference for multi-trillion parameter models at any sort of scale and performance is daunting. There are a handful of vendors that have systems that can do this (~ Nvidia NVl-72 class) that pretty much only the frontier labs and hyperscalers effectively have access to.

Apple was on the USB Implementers Forum that designed USB-C so.. I would say they could definitely be credited as a co-inventor of USB-C, they also introduced one of the first devices that used USB-C.

There are some studies that suggest human brain sizes have been shrinking over the last 20,000 years. The theory is that as civilization developed the demand for individual humans to be independently intelligent has weakened because we developed a "collective brain" and also self-domesticated to be more cooperative.
