saying that the sales numbers for this year's longer event could still surpass those of last year's shorter one

They should just double the length of this 'day' every time, just to keep growth numbers in. Can't wait for the decade long prime day.

And here I was thinking days were getting shorter.

Say anything right-wing or pro-trump and they'll happily demonetize you and then make sure nothing from your vid will corrupt their pure model.

You aren't wrong about people charging large markups, but the big providers are up there as well. The price for chatgpt audio tokens is around $80 per million tokens, which adds up to around $10 per hour for a call. That is just purely for the chatgpt audio model, but you need a lot more stuff to actually make a useful product. Then in many cases the AI can't actually solve the issues and you still need a human (more cost), and then the customer is frustrated (potential loss of business is more cost).

They are the patsy. They sign off on all this training data and take the fall when the lawsuits come.

He seems to be having a little memory issues about which things he said that were causing the uproar.

Reminder: It was the Duolingo CEO says there may still be schools in our AI future, but mostly just for childcare.

Even moderately sized tech companies have billions of investor money and zero oversight.

Matter of time until darwinism does its work and they start assassinations, bombing and other mafia like tactics to stay ahead.

Your car would be worth a billion dollars if there were no other cars. However given that cars are available everywhere it is not worth even 0.01% of that.

Reddit's data would only have this huge value if there was no other place to get it. Right now pretty much all that can be learned from Reddit is embedded in free models from facebook, deepseek and others. Cost 0. You can get indexed data from like 90% of Reddit nearly for free from common crawl at the cost of bandwidth.

There is definitely value to Reddit and its content. But nobody is going to pay a billion for a copy of their data.

It changes programming for sure. But I don't really get this story much.

A 21-year-old's startup got a $500,000 investment from Y Combinator — after building their web site and prototype mostly with "vibe coding".

Doesn't really mean much. Visual programming, low code & no code is not new and have all been funded. Getting funding on just an idea and a team (but no code) happens all the time. Y-Combinator acceptance these days is all about being a rich kid with Ivy League background, and having a somewhat viable investment idea. The actual code written is somewhere in the top 10 about things that work for you, but nowhere near the top.

to create from scratch a website called Recipe Ninja. It has a library of recipes, and cooks can talk to it, asking the AI-driven site to concoct new recipes for them. "It's probably like 30,000 lines of code. That would have taken me, I don't know, maybe a year to build," he said. "It wasn't overnight, but I probably spent 100 hours on that."

30k lines of code and a year of work for a recipe book? Any decent programmer could have programmed that site in like a day. Could have clicked it together without code in something like wordpress with some extensions, drupal, or any other tool in a couple of days as well.

I think when you look at the graph of software engineer jobs it looks far more likely that we are in a correction phase for overhiring:

I'm sure at some point there will be some effect of AI on entry level jobs, but in the companies where I stroll around I think the main issue is mostly that companies want to reduce the amount of programmers they have and not so much that AI is reducing the workload. I think a lot of companies would say it's because of AI because that looks better than most other explanations.

This study is flawed. When someone "debates" a LLM, they're probably seeking information.

Calling a study flawed without reading the study is... err... flawed. The experimental design is completely different from what you describe. People were led into the debate not knowing beforehand if it was a human or AI. They were not organically 'seeking information' they were tasked with debating something as part of a study.

Yeah they do, they persuade bystanders reading or listening along.

Let me preface this by saying there is no way Apple with get killed by this.

One does not pull $22 billion worth of manufactured goods out of ones ass overnight. Or since Inauguration Day, 2025.

Guess when these decisions happened and who was president then: https://www.reuters.com/articl...
And now again Apple is expanding in India with Donnie boy being president again.

Not a damn thing DJT has ever said or done, created Apple manufacturing in India.

Actually, yeah he kind of did. By setting off a trade war with China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This made many US companies move manufacturing elsewhere, including this Apple move to India

Yeah I'm sure seniors will be rushing to install Epic gamestore or another appstore... they are getting scammed just fine through safari browser or the appstore.

The judge specifically called out Tim Cook too:

Judge Gonzalez Rogers added that internal company documents she reviewed showed Apple deliberately violated the injunction. The documents reveal "that Apple knew exactly what it was doing and at every turn chose the most anticompetitive option", she wrote.

She said CEO Tim Cook ignored executive Phillip Schiller's urging to have Apple comply with the injunction and allowed CFO Luca Maestri to convince him not to.

If they go for it as criminal contempt of court, then it's billions of dollars worth of damage contempt and we may very well see prison sentences at the highest level.

Bullshit.

Why are you so emotional about this?

Android has about 70% of the worldwide market share for cell phones.

There are no large app makers in the US that can avoid selling on Apple. For larger app developers, the percentage that works with apple is 100%. 100% market share. But it doesn't even matter because the exact percentage doesn't matter and you could easily have market power in a legal sense when owning 30% of some entire market.

I don’t think 'Epic can just sell their stuff in India so that Americans like me can continue to be ripped off' is going to fly in court, but you should try and see if Apple wants you on their legal team. I'm just explaining how countries look at it. It's not even about specific percentages, it's about if for real companies apple has market power to the point where they cannot realistically just skip Apple altogether. Authorities say that in some cases Apple has market power. Court just upheld it again. That should be the end of that discussion unless you have some serious arguments that authorities and courts haven't looked at. 'Microsoft does it too' or 'just sell in india' are laughable defenses. Like the judge would literally be laughing thinking you just made a joke.

No, it's like saying Apple has a monopoly over iPhones. Or that GM has one over Chevrolets. But GM doesn't have a monopoly over vehicles, and Apple doesn't have a monopoly over cell phones.

The claim is not that they have a monopoly over cellphones. They are abusing market power with regards to providers of mobile apps (it's a little more specific than that, but that's the gist). That's not like a debating point, that's the point of view of the United States.
