Nightmare because users approach LLMs with the false confidence that they're always right, and present LLM outputs as fact to Doctors who have to waste time explaining that it's wrong most of the time. It hurts more than it helps.

Cloudflare famously does anycast so the DNS answer you get is the same no matter where you're coming from. Your numbers there can't be attributable to DNS. On the contrary, Cloudflare can short circuit the recursive lookup for any of their properties, providing potential speedups at the resolution stage, and can use eDNS client subnet to route based on where you are if necessary

You betray your ignorance of how parasocial OnlyFans and their ilk get. Yes, people get real connection out of it, whether its with who they think they're talking to or not. I think that connecting those people into a chat bot instead of a real human is depressing, and a bad thing for society, but you're welcome to disagree with that

God that's depressing. Even when you _pay_ for human connection you're being fobbed off onto an AI

This already happens in the opposite direction. See: news websites that drop their pay wall for GoogleBot

These reliability issues are starting to feel like a pretty big indictment of their product, which they are presumably using to write their software and build their systems. If _Anthropic_ can't make Claude build reliable systems, what hope do the rest of us have?

OP is basically describing functional programming

"domestic" "mass" surveillance, two words that can be stretched so thin they basically invalidate the whole term. Mass surveillance on other countries? Guess that's fine. Surveillance on just a couple of cities that happen to be resisting the regime? Well, it's not _mass_ surveillance, just a couple of cities!

RLMs are a new architecture, but you can mimic an RLM by providing the context through a tool, yes

Kind of leaving out a lot of detail there:

- Amazon's $50B is only $15B, with the rest being "after certain conditions are met", whatever that means (probably an IPO, which isn't happening)

- The $30B each from softbank and NVIDIA is paid in installments

So this is more a $35B fundraise, with a _promise_ of more, maybe, if conditions are met. Not _bad_, but yet more gaslighting from Mr Altman. Anyone reporting this as a closed fundraising deal is being disingenuous at best.

A lot of Japanese websites also have to be tremendously over provisioned because of how regimented the country is. A friend of mine worked infrastructure for a local newspaper, and every day at 6PM they'd send a push notification to all their subscribers and had to provision for that peak. When he asked if they could smooth out traffic, send the notification to some folks a minute before, or a minute after he was almost thrown out of the room. "Japan runs on time. Not a minute early, not a minute late. On time".

One has to wonder when the board realises Dane was a bad replacement for JGC. These outages are getting ridiculous
