You also already pay sales tax on your internet service, but that's not what we're discussing here

Really? The rumors are that their margins on tokens is quite healthy. That doesn't seem like loss-leading to me.

And they all have as many laptops and desktops as the want, too

Plenty of grids have different sorts of net metering ratios, grid maintenance fees, etc. But it's nothing compared to what you'd be paying taking power off of the grid, and there is a break-even period often measured in single-digit years. I still do not understand the point of what the GP was trying to make w.r.t. "taxes".

How do you figure that works?

Solar panels (which continue get cheaper every year) on my house makes charging my low-TCO EV free in 5 years

For the last 30 years were they charging a mandatory $150 cleaning fee, even if you're only staying 1 night?

I think the special sauce of this isn't the STT/TSS (although it does appear to be quite good) - it's the integration of a real-time reasoning model to actually do something with the raw text of the conversation, and whatever they're doing to hide tool call latency if the model needs to search for something.

That’s why they said “closer”

Or die because your neighbor refused to vaccinate
