I thought it was starting when Ilya said that scaling has plateaued about a year ago. Now confirmed with GPT-5. Now they'll need to sell a pivot from AGI to productization of what they already have with a valuation that implies reaching AGI?
We already turned off the tap (look at the link above). It is just unimportant countries like Hungary and Slovakia that still import pipeline gas (and they're not making any friends...) . Would be great to pressure them more. Till this year Ukraine still imported nat gas from Russia btw.
LNG is a fungible commodity that is traded world-wide. Don't see much beyond symbolic value here in refusing it. Trying to enforce a price cap would be great there, but needs coordination.
Hello from Slovakia. The gas pipeline from Russia through Ukraine into Slovakia (and further west/south) does not work since January 2025, it was turned off by Ukraine. If there is still gas flowing from Russia, it's through other pipelines, most likely Turkstream, and that too will end in time:

We, as far as I know, also sadly import oil from Russia. I expect that to end soon too, because of a combination of political pressure and Ukrainian attacks.
Our current government is pretty close to Putin and Orban and it would be very welcome if the rest of EU attacked this issue more, as you mention.
Google has defaults as their huge moat. They have Chrome and Android under their control and pay Apple and Mozilla to be the default search engine.
Here in Europe this is mitigated by them having to show a browser/search engine selection screen, but in the US you seem to be more accepting of the monopoly power. Or it seems the Judge in Calfornia seems to think that OpenAI actually has a change of winning this. It doesn't in my estimation.
On the other side Google has a monopoly on Ads. When OpenAI somehow starts displaying ads, they'd have to build their own Ad network and then entice companies and brands to use it. Good luck with that.
Bitcoin is a negative-sum game. You can only get out what others put in and miners continuously have to pay for electricity and chips to keep the game going.
It is also a dump speculative asset. I'd even claim Tesla stock is better as speculative asset, at least it may be a positive-sum game.
Maybe seeing you’re argument as a template will have you recognize the weakness of your argument:
{{currency}} is a negative-sum game. You can only get out what others put in and {{entities}} continuously have to {{maintain infrastructure}}.
An actual argument could be derived from the last point by asking whether the cost of maintaining the infrastructure is worth it. This is something the market decides.
LLMs are good at prototyping using data across _all_ similar projects that exist.
It is not a 1-1 copy.
Most frontend is a dozen components.
Most backend again is a handful of architectures when it comes to DB/business logic, CRUD.
It goes to say that if you can guide the LLM to build something innovative you can think of, it will put those components together in a reasonable way - good enough to start off with.
Exactly. One could build the new video platform with revolutionary customer facing features. The tech stack will likely be the same. Some frontend, some backend maybe some calls to an endpoint that happens to be an LLM.
Startups that typically end up in incubators etc are not about new fundamental systems (languages, frameworks, theoretical methodologies etc), but rather about new products.
This seems to suggest a failure in our model of software. We were supposed to have reusable components. Writing the same thing more than once was not supposed to be necessary.
I recognize that in reality this hasn't always worked out. But I also don't think that the answer is a black box that can churn out questionable boiler-plate.
I suspect that's due to the GPU and not due to Prism, because they basically just took a mobile GPU and stuffed it into a laptop chip. Generally performance seems to be on par with whatever a typical flagship Android devices can do.
Desktop games that have mobile ports generally seem to run well, emulation is pretty solid too (e.g. Dolphin). Warcraft III runs OK-ish.
The GPUs don't go toe-to-toe with current gen desktop GPUs but they should be significantly better than the GTX 650, a mid range desktop GPU from 2012, the game (2019) lists as recommended. It does sound like something odd is going on than just lack of hardware.
That something odd is called GPU drivers. Even Intel struggled (they recently announced that they are dropping all gpu driver older than Alchemist development) to get games running on their iGpus
I do handle annoying feature requests on my open source project by just ignoring them.
