If you RTFA it says amazon has as many robots as human workers. Amazon is the 2nd largest employer in the US; that number may shrink as robot use increases

For items that are "everyday essentials" there is a Walmart near me that gives me delivery within a few hours, and the annual membership is quite a bit less. The pricing is also less than Amazon - mostly because I am not a Prime member so I don't get "Prime" pricing.

Because they're part of the far left woke climate conspiracy. Or something.

I pay $20/mo for chat access to an llm and $20/mo for a private search engine. $40/mo to escape the googleverse is well worth the price in my opinion.

This is a case about whether the decedent has a constitutional right to nice weather. It could end up at the supreme court.

Also agree. It's rare i need to boot into Windows for a game particularly for indie stuff

Good reason to switch to linux. I only boot in to windows to play games these days.

Free tier is limited to ~10-20 queries per day of the low end models, whereas $20 tier is virtually unlimited for the "dumbest" models , and moderate access to reasoning models, while $200 tier gives you access to enhanced reasoning models that can think for multiple minutes at a time

That tracks, because I'm currently restoring a 1948 Chrysler straight 8 engine (really that flathead design like what packard was famous for) on a 1948 rolls royce chassis.

I seriously doubt your claim of free speech with a chatbot will hold up in court.

They themselves proved you can't tell a chatbot to not be a therapist. You're not supposed to cut your hand off, there's no regulation telling people to not cut their hand off. You can't create an endless set of rules to tell you what you're not allowed to use free LLMs for. Anyone can train any number of LLM using free open source data sets with any restrictions (or no restrictions) it costs less than $1000 to train a basic 7b model with a credit card at any cloud provider. Next they're going to have signs on gas pumps instructing people not to douse themselves in gasoline and set themselves on fire.

I recall there was "premium" cable and that was HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and probably a handful of has-beens and regional ones that got bought out. I recall regular cable being ~$32/mo and with premium cable (HBO) it jumped up to ~$75 but they only had a few shows and movies would rotate, not too different from how it is now except it's streaming over the internet.

This was largely the purpose of gmail IIRC. Humans can't read your email, but there's almost no value in allowing them access, whereas letting computers build a customer profile to sell ads to you, is invaluable.

One of our engineers did this as a side project back in 2015 in an afternoon, setup a web scraper on aws and the next day we could visit all these things. I'm pretty sure the company did a new article on this... ten years ago.

My guess is phones and silicon will improve to make 4b on mobile by 2030. If not then those requests will get forwarded to xyz cloud service. I can see a world where 7-12b cloud models are ad supported free tier and you either pay or self host 70-600b yourself. I expect processing requirements to drop by half due to whatever breakthrough comes next and then there's a long tail of improvement after that. Token verification was a major improvement.
