I’m going to buy a WinRar license with all the money I save.

“Apple might be implementing…”.

But even MORE impressive is the current raptor engines cost between $1m to $2m each with a target cost of $500k when in full production. The F-1 cost an inflation adjusted $85m-$100m each.

These weren’t true Marxism. When me and my communist buddies take over next time you will see a real people’s utopia. Not like the last 47 times. I promise. Word of honor. Everyone will get a pony.

Siri rarely disappointed me because my expectations were always low and I trained myself on how to talk to it.

But now after some remarkable experiences using GPT-4 I find I’ve lost a lot of patience with all the different voice assistants. They are just so stupid in comparison. How much longer before LLMs and projects like Whisper run the backend?
