I'm surprised people didn't mention this, but I find it to be unbeatable in these two areas:

1. Japanese community 2. Porn (good god, so much porn)

> The worse it performs, the more you pay. That’s a hell of a business model. Will users tolerate that for long?

I mean, AWS seems to be doing fine with that business model.

Or, an (over)simplified way to put it:

"All money is made up, but some are more made up than others."

When it comes to things like this, as cliche as it may sound, your best bet is to probably bring up those fears with your psychiatrist to evaluate the pros/cons with them.

Like most things, there is most likely a tradeoff - but your doctor also most likely prescribed the dosages based on the pros outweighing the cons, but only you can bring up how you feel about specific cons to the doctor.

I think of it more from the perspective that, there are likely people with far less material wealth than him who have achieved much greater heights happiness and lead a more fulfilling life.

All that wealth, power, and influence, and for what - if you can't even be happy about it?

I don't mind the commute if I live close enough that I can just walk 30-40 minutes to the office, because then it serves as a good exercise (okay, fine. Grass-touching) that I don't have to do separately in the day.

But I realize that this is NOT a luxury most people have. Most people's commute looks like being stuck in the subway, or driving in traffic, for up to several hours every single day, and I just can't think of anything that would justify that type of commute.

I've honestly been surprised by how fast these "AIaaS" companies are competing to bring performance up and prices down. It really feels good to wake up the next morning to find out your stuff is better and cheaper automatically.

Is it just me or is the new embeddings model (v3 small) insanely cheap? It's coming out to be ~$0.02/mil tokens (if I'm mathing right), whereas other "embeddings API" services are typically charging at around $0.1/mil tokens

Is it just me or is it kinda weird that a org mostly known for its AuthZ libraries is branching out into seemingly unrelated areas?

This is really interesting. For a project I was building I figured out that having a sort of "universal access layer" for all types of storage was a requirement, and this looks like it's right up my alley.
