Companies like Claude with their AI subscriptions might be losing money, but I doubt paid-per-token AI API usage is not making them money. There are several companies like e.g. DeepInfra and Fireworks that have sprung up to sell specifically that. I don’t think simply multiplying API cost with expected usage is sufficient to estimate how much will be charged however, because I suspect that OpenAI and Claude currently have a significant profit margin since they seem to be the defacto duopoly in the US.

The chart above shows that quite clearly, the vertical axis is the combined score on various benchmarks. The horizontal axis shows the price. OpenAI and Claude do score higher, but the price difference is enormous, even if it wasn’t a log scale (70$ vs 1.3k$ for similar results!). The competition of these companies could drastically reduce the margins of US companies,

I therefore think the pricing will depend on whether the large US AI companies manage to lobby the government to enact laws to cripple the competition of Chinese companies under the guise of security.

Not everyone on the internet lives in the US

I’m not really sure how people come to that conclusion either, but perhaps they are just unfamiliar with these types of posts

Perhaps consider making it clear that this is a joke about coping mechanisms and not a threat aimed at someone in particular. I’ve received several reports about this post, some from people who seemingly believed that was the case.

I think it’s quite simple, the blockade is causing oil prices to spike which is seemingly the only thing the public in the US actually considers a problem about the whole war. Opening the strait would stop that and would allow them the continue without getting absolutely destroyed in the midterms.

I’m out of the loop, what happened now?

Without him we would have Vance who is arguably worse

I got fired for saying something racist on twitter - Carl’s fault for using that weirdo libre shit.

Thanks, it was browser.ml.*

Not seeing it on Firefox 147.0.3

I didn’t know about that, thanks!

EDIT: It seems the “AI Controls” were added after the AI features and are not yet available on my distro

In case anyone is wondering, this is indeed referring to the guy that was disqualified for wearing a helmet honoring other athletes that died in the war

Is this going to be one of those extortion lawsuits like with that previous merger?

US started giving arms to Ukraine 1 month before the war started, look like the issue is far more complex than what you tell.

The Russian attack was planned months in advance, they had mobilised hundreds of thousands of troops near the border in October the year before. It would be stupid to wait before the actual invasion to start sending weapons when the US saw it coming months in advance.

but the it look like Russia attacked before the US attacked Russia through Ukraine.

The US weren’t going to launch an attack on Russia through Ukraine.

Flood the zone, but with bombs

For anyone else that is interested in what came of him:

Xu was expelled from the CCP and sentenced to five years in prison. He lived the rest of his life exiled from Beijing and died in 2021 at the age of 85.

I’m not so sure about Mars settlements being a productive thing to spend resources on, but I do agree that unemployment can cause grave social and political issues.

It’s very easy to blame “others” and this time it’s going to be “the foreigners”.
