LLMs that are wide spread and accessable to the general public is basically 3 years.

No one in the general public who uses chatgpt or googles AI overview gives a shit when Google published attention is all you need.

The argument would be that they provide " higher quality, more targeted views" which is probably correct.

Most people will fold and get the account, what’s one more " sign in with Google" on top of the 1000 other accounts.

I mean sure. It’s still early days for AI models. They spent years boiling the frog that is the search user. They can take a hit for a while before Gemini starts taking money to talk or more importantly not talk about something.

I never really understood the appeal of these.

They are nifty tech but new black rectangle that does the same shit as the last black rectangle has long ago stopped interesting me.

I now just get medium priced black rectangle every four or five years and ignore everything in between.

I mean the reason they use the screens is more a cost thing.

LG and Samsung are pumping out millions of touch screens a year. The cost for a single screen is less than 100 bucks and it’s off the shelf. The alternative is spinning up or contacting production lines for those buttons or knobs each requiring design and QC and of course production.

The screens are just so so much cheaper.

Even if openai tanked tomorrow it would just be bought by Microsoft and become copilot AI.

The failure of the company is bad for current investors but it’s not a public company and as others have mentioned there is not yet enough instability in the rest of the industry. Google is still trucking along without issue even if they don’t make the news and people are still giving Muse access to all their shit.

That’s like 1 million per job created! A steal for sure!

It may not be in the article, but Micron’s stock is up 550%, he’s definitely celebrating.

“is it still available?”, " will you deliver?“, “can you ship it”, " will it work with my random thing”, " I see you put the entire manual in the post, but do you have the manual?", “I have to pay rent will you take 1 dollar instead of 500? Also can you deliver”, “I can get this for one dollar on AliExpress why don’t you just give it to me for free?”

Ah I didn’t realize that had ended.

Welp I’m sure there will be others trying to get into the game but none likely as lucrative.

It’s both. The LLM scrapers are now relentless. They are also closing the door so they can sell the data to Google.

I don’t know.

There is a ton of corporate email pushers and power point makers which could be replaced by an AI model I think.

The current issue they are struggling with is figuring out who they can blame when it fucks up. At some point they will land on an answer that to that. We are literally in the age of people copy pasting AI output into emails. At some point that’s gotta give.
