appreciate seeing this. I've long identified as someone that's much more muscular than I have been in the past. it's interesting how steroid use for this subset is seen as so different from that same use in the gender dysphoria subset.
I don't think it's so dire. I've gone through this at multiple companies and a startup that's selling B2B only needs one or two of these big outages and then enterprises start demanding SLA guarantees in their contracts. it's a self correcting problem
It seems like the "Turbo" models are more about being faster/cheaper, not so much about being better. Kinda similar to the iPhone "S" models or Intel's "tick-tock"
I don't know if I'd say "miles ahead." AWS had 7 years of basically no other competition -- all of the other big clouds of today had their heads in the sand. OpenAI has a bunch of people competing already. They may not be as good on the leaderboards now, but they're certainly not having to play catch up from years of ignoring the space.
How do you square this with OpenAI's assertion that they never use data from enterprise customers for their own training? Are you suggesting they're lying?
You used a single personal data point and then pulled numbers completely out of nowhere and are comfortable making general statements about housing affordability on that basis? Bold.
> why won't I just hire good English-speaking talent in Costa Rica (more likely Brazil) at a tenth of your expected comp?
you can try! but you'll find that this is basically impossible -- the folks that are good enough aren't going to take 1/10th of the comp they could be making.
>I recognise this is an incredibly privileged thing to do, not working is something that many people can only dream of.
It's crazy how often you see this kind of statement these days. I often wonder if it's made in earnest or mostly to avoid a culture war about privilege happening in the comments. Would love to see the Google Trends data on this
