How many companies used llama instead of paying OpenAI for API access?

If Meta saw OpenAI as a market competitor then denying them revenue is a cunning move.

Especially if llama isn't Meta's core competency but ChatGPT is OpenAI's.

Maybe even legal in that aspect, though they both seem super guilty of not paying for copyrighted material.

"They have lots of competition already."

It's not real competition. These "providers" are just middlemen reselling electricity at a heavy markup. They don't do any work or maintenance on the lines or generate any electricity. All these "providers" do is buy low, and sell high. Even when you get a "cheap" plan, you're overpaying for the electricity. Fitting that Enron, who did exactly this in California, is going to show up in Texas, which is doing the same "deregulated" schtick that caused so many problems for Californians.

see subject.

Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.
