Comment Just a WSJ Unpaid Bloomberg Advert (Score 1) 61

This is such a fluff piece to promote Bloomberg. First of the article references one actual person, maybe the "Bro" in question, and generalizes that to every person in the finance field. Then claims that everyone who posted about some new software is also a "Bro." Are there no women in finance or tech, is that what this is trying to imply with the whole Bros vs Bros narrative? Is it intended to be derogatory and/or just get click bait?

Comment Re:Seriously ...? (Score -1, Troll) 255

Nice points. Its really interesting how much the 51st state comments caused so much TDS in Canada. It was the Democrat party that halted construction of pipelines that reduced Canada's trade in the past but somehow they want to blame Trump for tacking a tariff on imports. In response Canadians were threatening to cut off power to cities in the USs, over a tax, that according to Democrats "Americans pay not foreign countries." There is no consistency or logic in anything those affected with TDS say or do.

You can be first to scale up or have the latest technology but not both and not expanding is not the same as cancelling. The current construction seems like a needed intermediary step before new GPUs become available so that they stay relevant. That said OpenAI seems to be comfortable with ChatGPT in its current 'name brand' position even when competitors like Claude, Grok, and Gemini are all meeting or exceeding its functionality rapidly.

The problem was never that other ticket services could not list on Ticketmaster. The problem was the exclusive agreements with venues, forcing venues to use ticketmaster for every artist. it sounds like this agreement at least lets them use other vendors for 50% of events, so thats good, but why in the world would Seatgeak want to list their tickets on Ticketmaster and let Ticketmaster take a cut. Insane.

Comment Anthropic played this horribly (Score 1, Insightful) 137

Anthropic attempted to spin this as being against mass surveillance and autonomous weapons but apparently they also tried to prevent their AI from being used for all kinds of use cases for the Department of War over months of negotiations. Not just cases of autonomous weapons, which are the future of war, but they also wanted to prevent their model from being used even in planning stages for any strikes and any data collection. The question is, why are they suing so they can sell to the Department of War when they clearly do not want them to use their software for anything that department does? And now they are seen as a risk to even suppliers of the Department of War, as those same terms of service can interrupt supply chains and software providers. Imagine anthropic cuts off use of AI to a gun manufacturer who was using their AI in quality control, and suddenly the supply chain stops. Or they modify the AI model to detect the usage as violated a terms of service and have it not work. If Anthropic and truly wanted to provide services to the government then agree with the all lawful use cases terms and be done with this, rather than trying to control the government itself. Congress can decide what we can use these things for. If I sold hammers and didn't want it used for construction of weapons of war then I just wouldn't sell them hammers, not profit then hamstring the buyer into not being able to use the hammer except for things I wanted them to use it for.

Comment Good Bye WordPress (Score 1) 23

We can only hope AI coding shortly deletes the disaster called WordPress from existence. It was 'easy' and 'free' until it wasn't either. If you want almost any specific functionality you have to pay for add-ons or new themes. My guess is in 5 years, if you want a free website you will just buy a domain and then ask AI to make any changes in plain english.

Comment It couldn't be more obvious (Score 1) 59

It couldn't be more obvious Deep Seek is 'distilling' aka using other AI's. The Deepseek responses have even claimed to be operating as ChatGPT when asked what version they are. Now, whether this is legal or moral is debatable. If using ChatGPT outputs for another AI is specifically against the ChatGPT API license then probably not so legal. It sounds like ChatGPT claims they are skirting their protections to do this. As we all know Anthropic already got in big trouble to using pirated books for their AI and anthropic fixed that by actually buying all the books it uses now.

The SEC protects against monopolies. These companies are not even in the same industry. There is zero reason to block this merger. Any claim about issues here is purely from Musk haters who hate that he supported Trump in an election and hate that heâ(TM)s provided massive value to the world producing electric cars, reusable rockets, and ChatGPT.
