Interesting to see how this is getting downvoted. Somewhat expected. Many more head would roll from this scandal. Bill Gates, Peter Thiel are just starters

meh..Just because he donated doesn't mean one should ignore or dilute the severity of alleged crimes. Infact, I would trade someone who doesn't commit any such acts and still does not donate over someone who donates but does worst of all the crimes.

That makes total sense now, indeed!

Had a chuckle at the mention of Stalin. Made me think. I would also think, the evils would be the one who would badly want to live forever, if an option was presented.

This resonates with me. Too much of anything loses value. This includes life. If there's no death, it would take special individuals to make sense out of it.

Not specific to this, but if you can solve issue with progressive lenses, you have a big market. Progressive lens sucks. They simply do not work and causes too much strain and practically unusable for daily operations. What would be great if there's a digital way where the lens changes depending on your activity. Driving, then go to long vision. In front of laptop - change to reading glass etc. I will be your customer if you solve this

This.

OpenAI continues to muddy the benchmarks, while Claude continues to improve their intelligence. Claude will win long term. It'd be wise to not rely on OpenAI at all. They are the first comers who will just burn cash and crash out I suspect.

Exactly. Citing cost has been an AWS play which worked during early days of cloud - so they are trying to stick to those plays. They don't work in AI world. No one would want a faster/cheap model that gives poor results (besides the cost of frontier model keeps coming down - so these are just dead initiative IMO).

On LLM, my experience with Claude has been much better than OpenAI models (though my use case is more on code generation)

Using LLMs via Bedrock is 10x more painful than using direct APIs. I could see cost consolidation via cloud marketplace a play - but I don't see Amazon's own LLM initiatives ever taking off. They should just lose those shops and buy one of the frontier models (while it is still cheap)

This is just Amazon's 'me too' play. Doubt anyone serious in LLM space would consider this

DOA

When marketing talks about price delta and not quality of the output, it is DOA. For LLMs, quality is a more important metric and Nova would always try to play catch with the leaderboard forever.

Looks interesting! I think cost of running resources would be more helpful

Interesting point! In my case, it is mostly from China. So I could do geo block
