How does that translate to cost? I am unfamiliar with OpenAI pricing models.

So does using an LLM.

In fact, that's kind of the whole point of using LLMs in the first place. Their value is in their general capabilities.

…which we attempt to constrain by encouraging the use of tools that make it harder to fuck shit up.

It couldn't tell ASML to do that because ASML doesn't do chip design.

I don't want to make this sound rude. I'm curious what job protections are there in various Asian countries?

Most of my understanding is based around studying Japanese law, so I wouldn't extend it to all of asia. But the main protection is that much of Asia is not at-will employment. So you can't easily create mass layoffs like the US without good reason (some regions won't do that because wage floors are pathetic or non-existent, but it's still some protection).

Doesn't it matter if this part of France is an ocean away?

I do not think so, but anyway, it is definitely not a proof that we are further decoupling ourselves from the US, which is the claim made in the root comment. France has launched rockets from France for decades. Being an ocean away does not make Kourou reliant on the US.

I think the opposite because in this specific case we have the US which has the world's strongest navy, and the strongest navy by far in the Atlantic.

My opinion is that there is an implied reliance on the US "allowing" Europe to ship the rockets to Kourou and launch them there.

If our relations ever completely sour, the US might, for example, take over the shipping vessels going to Kourou, kinda like Europe takes over Russian shadow fleet vessels.

Now all of a sudden Europe has no means of launching rockets, except now it can launch to polar orbits. It might seem a stretch, but there is a non-zero chance that could happen, therefore it is better to have an alternative.

> Being an ocean away does not make Kourou reliant on the US.

No, but it makes it vulnerable to the US.

“Vulnerable to the US” can mean so many things that it practically loses all meaning. Even with a launchpad in continental Europe, they have many ways to interfere with this project, from disrupting the supply chain to carpet bombing the launch site.

A ship crossing the ocean is much more vulnerable than a launch site with sophisticated air defences.

The US can also decide to “free” and “bring democracy” to the French Guiana because the rich oil deposits of its continental shelf won’t free themselves.

The point is that a slow ship crossing the ocean with hard to replace is very vulnerable in transit.

And the headline will be "Welcome to the AGI era".

Because it is in their own interest to hype it all up every time they release a new model. By they I mean people which stand to gain financially.

Don't be patronising. I am pretty sure he has read the article because I agree with him, and I have read the article as well.

Surprised pikachu :OOOO

You agree with him? Even the boomer coded armchair psychology? My comment isn’t even in the same realm of patronizing as that.

How is this coded to baby boomer? Honest question; I want to understand the post-war generational perspective.

Guessing, but i suppose he might be referring to the implied-as-given duty ethics tone of the parent post, that easily comes across as an obligation to be blindly guided externally by norms.

To be fair, I didn't watch the video to the part where he mentions monkeys writing Hamlet, but I thought the point of the monkeys is that they will stumble upon a Hamlet by accident at some point in time, by randomly pressing buttons on a keyboard. Obviously, it would take a long time, but it would happen at some point.

> Obviously, it would take a long time, but it would happen at some point.

Has someone done the calculation whether it would happen before the end of the universe?

It would involve multiple, multiple universes (but not infinite) coming and going. Even with infinite monkeys.

I get the theme of the site is inspired by retro games, but the font makes it so hard to read the article, I had to give up. Too bad, since I like the concept of a retro game theme.

I enjoyed it. The italic pixels feel like some kind of crime though.
