That’s a six core processor. It’s an A18 Pro in the Neo, same chip as on the Iphone 16 Pro

Since the majority shareholder(s) can decide to replace the board of directors, it’s not the board of directors who holds the (ultimate) power, it’s the majority shareholder(s).

> There are competing terms currently being decided on by the market at large: AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

It really annoys me the industry seems to be narrowing in on the two worse options rather than AIO.

> i'm actually not sure which is more risky: holding bitcoin or real estate

Both can have wild swings in valuation, but at the end of the day, you still hold something by owning real estate.

As someone who has owned every single Apple Watch model/generation and love the hardware, I agree with GP on the terrible UX of the app grid.

> it's also very much not, because it always sounds like it might be authoritative, but you could be reading something hallucinated

I keep hearing this repeated over and over as if it’s a unique problem for AI. This is DEFINITELY true of human generated content too.

> The truth is, if there was no AI tech developed, we would not need to regulate it so that greed does not take over.

Same could be said for the Internet as we know it too. Literally replace AI with Internet above and it reads equally true. Some would argue (me included some days) we are worse off as a society ~30 years later. That’s also a legitimate case that can be made it was a huge benefit to society too. Will the same be said of AI in 2042?

The level of hallucinations with o3 are no different than the level of hallucinations from most (all?) human sources in my experience. Yes, you definitely need to cross check, but yes, you need to do that for literally everything else, so it feels a bit redundant to keep preaching that as if it’s a failing of the model and not just an inherent property of all free sharing of information between two parties.

I think you meant to say:

And nobody knows how they work.

The saying goes:

From 90% to 99% is a 10x reduction in error rate, but 99% to 99.999% is a 1000x decrease in error rates.

People (including me) said this for a long time about Yahoo! too. Kinda ironic they both merged and basically died together…
