But they only have superior marketing at the moment.

Has everybody forgotten the worth of Anthropic CEO announcements? Six months, 6-12 months, soon but not this year, etc., etc.

Google is the only one with long term strategy, IMO. LLMs are much more of a better search tools than a coder of any seniority. They are also very good at translation. The ability of LLM to generate fake content is also an important "skill". A place in Google for all of that.

...so all guns are out and blazing. Propaganda is more aggressive with every passing moment.

Because so many bosses will have to answer very hard questions about vast quantities of money once it bursts.

It can and will be worse.

I think they are not targeting receivers with "noise", but satellites. Reports say packet losses skyrocketed to 90% (80% in some earlier reports), thus making service unstable.
As for receivers, they are geolocating them one by one, and the police collect them. In Ukraine, they target them with drones and artillery.

The Chinese have a lot of very cheap solar power in desert areas and hydroelectric power in the Southwest. I don't think they think much about power.

Does it also take our code for training?

Just like the Chinese have been doing for ages now. I think users will cope and gradually move to other services. Some will use proxies just like the Chinese do, but in the long term - local services will prevail.

It is a good thing Russia cannot send SWAT teams to enforce their laws like some other country did to the MEGA upload guy and his New Zealand company.

And now this. I feel so sorry for Red Hat, and also for Cygnus and other teams they swallowed.

R.I.P.

Especially because I would have no guarantee at all it is what I will really get.

There is a lot of drama in the world currently, but interest groups like Nvidia have their agendas. Paint a dramatic picture and money will pour in. As many people equate efficiency/shorter waiting times with quantity of money, it is what will be pushed for. And probably achieved.
Chip independence may be critical or not, it may take 20 years or 2, but that is not an issue. How much money will flow because of all of it is the issue here.
I know it sounds cynical but it is exactly what at least most of it is about. If not all.

It looks like a duopoly is in control of a very important industry.

He might have not replaced any of those with $100bn but he would definitely get in the game and start getting traction.

Like the Chinese with their rumored chips are doing.

I got an email asking me how much I would like to pay for ..... They collect offers, and take and charge one offering most :).

Europe has one reason for the cancellation of such plants I do not find in this article: Russian supplies are cut and the era of cheap gas is gone.

The economy of gas plants is primarily the price o gas. The article does not even mention it :).

Also, state regulations are a big factor. If you put regulation burden onto gas and subsidy solar... Wow, look how the economy shifts!

Meaning cheaper than the iPhone, when the display area is accounted for?

Journalism these days.

I am too old to believe their interest aligns with the common good. If it were, as some other poster pointed out - VOLVO electric cars would be cheaper - for example.

I tried it with a simple "convert date to Unix timestamp" function for an embedded project I am working on. Spent hours debugging other code until I got a look at ChatGPT's one and found it simply does not work.
So, YMMV, and you have to double-check everything. To me, it does not look like something to debug another's code :).
