Fortunately there have been zero security incidents involving American companies this past month…

Oh wait.

AI, as we know it today (GPT3), came out not even 4 years ago. Of course, you’re not going to see a movie or book yet (especially since it was nowhere near today when it came out). I feel like people forget this.

This reads like Clifford Stoll’s “the Internet will never really matter” article - and the internet was already 40 years old and the web server was already older than ChatGPT is today. Your post sounds a bit like this sentence: “ The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.”

Where was the TV in 4 years? Facebook? The telephone?

I don’t know if you are correct, but the bar of “cultural artifact” created from a system that just barely came to be and who’s capabilities wouldn’t even be close to this until like 3 months ago, is just a really really early thing to make a decision on already.

That’s totally fine since it’s a different family. The new iPhone mini is much larger than the iPhone 4 but its mini in its current family line.

Just want to check, do you mean American pricing? It starts at $1999 not $2999, which is surprisingly competitive with the Fold 8. (Of course, Samsung discounts the shit of the Fold in ways Apple never does).

This is an unhelpful comment. What socialist policies has he enacted? (I live here btw)

Yea, I totally get why they want to be in this space (especially if you see transaction volume becoming more agentic), but why buy it? Why not do what Cloudflare or Vercel or AWS, etc did and just build your own?

Stripe already has killer APIs and knows how to build API infrastructure at Extreme scale, it still has developer cred after all these years, they are already Kings of multiplexing to different sources -- so why not just build your own LLM gateway?

My only guesses are: they want to buy the traffic instead of trying to organically grow it (but I feel like Stripe would get the volume anyway because of name rec), they want to buy the revenue and think they can dramatically reduce COGs because of efficiencies, buying the relationships with the frontier labs (who all dogfood their LLMs in pseudo-private on OR), or... something else?

That's the part I'm confused about.

As somebody who grew up in NYC, I am so grateful I did when I speak to people who grew up elsewhere. By the age of 15, I had infinite freedom, especially since all my HS friends came from all 5 boroughs. I'd go see movies with friends in Brooklyn, go to their apartments on the Upper West Side, hang out at museums or parks -- meanwhile my suburban friends were at the mercy of their parents driving them places.

I love seeing how resilient NYC kids are, like the 8 year old who folds his own stroller or the 7 year olds who are pros at the subway. This independence is both terrifying (for parents) and inspiring (it preps them early in life).

My first year at Cornell, I remember every freshman kind of losing their mind with the freedom of being away from home (getting super drunk, not controlling themselves, never self-selecting to "stay in, not go out, for the night") --- except for the New Yorkers who would constantly think, "What's the big deal?"

The hard part of raising kids in the city is it's extremely expensive. But my wife and I are pretty focused on, hell or high water, on making it work in Brooklyn - so we'll see how it goes.

How does adding $200k back to payroll help pay for 96 employee salaries (plus benefits which tend to be an invisible 25-30% on top of salaries)?

Me too. I have the same spec model (M5 Max with 125gb of ram) and it reports as 32gb.

Dude, just give up and admit you misread the point in the most negative bad faith way possible.

Ooo this is cool. It reminds me of AppleScript. Did you guys use that as inspiration for this?

Stock value?
