Memory fab build out times are years not months. The existing ones already run 24/7. If these companies could pull more supply out of thin air they would, but they cannot.

> Phishing emails disguised as support inquiries are getting more sophisticated, too. They read naturally, but something always feels just a little off — the logic doesn’t quite line up, or the tone feels odd.

I think that this is a big reason that agents aren’t prevalent as one might otherwise expect. Quality control is very important in my job (legal space, but IANAL), and I think while LLMs could do a lot of what we do, having someone whose reputation and career progression is effectively on the line is the biggest incentive to keep the work error free - that dynamic just isn’t there with LLMs.

That seems fairly useful to me, no? Maybe not for mission critical applications, but for a lot of use cases, this seems to be good enough. I'm excited to try these prompts on my own later.

A company need not have 100% market share to have monopoly power in a market.

From the amount of utility you derive from a phone, and the life span of phones these days, $429 seems cheap to me. But it’s all relative I suppose.

Exclusive deals can present antitrust issues, but the kicker is that this isn't even an exclusive deal, it's a default deal! Users can still can still use other search engines on iOS devices.
