What is your point?

You didn't make a point yet.

You claimed I misunderstood, then quoted a sentence that starts with "if".

Obnoxious? Yes.

Opposite of what I claim? No.

"Samsung Electronics informed its executives and employees that data entered into ChatGPT is transmitted and stored on external servers, making it impossible for the company to retrieve it and increasing risks of confidential information leakage."

Yes, they used it. Did you read any further?

"These actions clearly put confidential information at risk, prompting Samsung to warn its employees about the dangers of using ChatGPT.

They don't have to match the market leader, they just have to be "good enough".

There are oodles of use-cases where sending your data to an outside provider is a complete no-go. In these cases OpenAI/Google/whoever-products aren't relevant competition.

No. They are not like us. Fundamentally not like us.

If you ask them to reason, then their text-prediction works differently, because it now predicts text containing reasons. They do not actually reason.

I know it is hard to believe, because the results are (usually) so impressive, but this is nothing but text-prediction.

I am not objecting to the finding or the show, I am objecting to the casual use of "prove" where something has merely been plausibly suggested.

I just love the "plus the two missing legs". Made me actually lol.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but "proved" is a strong word for a two-day experiment of a single waitress with no control of outside variables.

Tipping is great, if it is optional.

I feel in many parts of the US it is now expected, if not demanded.

This is bullshit. If your business model doesn't work without tips, you need to raise the base prices. And in pubs and bars and such you need to pay your staff a proper wage.

...then in a few years, people won't even notice that they're simply scanning a code on their devices and adding them to whatever home control system they wish.

The sentence you (partially) quote starts with "if" and ends with "wish". Cough.

The sub-headline says everything you need to know: "Gadget makers, unsurprisingly, are hesitant to compete purely on device quality."

I have heard bad things about the keyboard, compared to legacy Thinkpads. How is your experience?

One of the early customers was the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, so, wild guess, they probably used it for medium-range weather forecasts.
