With pay-per-token, there’s also an incentive for over-engineered but functionally harmless architectures. A json based css engine is probably something that can be test-cased really well in the training set.

Reading the Spacex S-1, there’s a notable footnote (notable in that it’s a unique disclosure amongst all filers in the context it’s presented and is not required by any FASB standard). It calls out that land is not a depreciable asset.
That really didn’t need to be said and it seems to be sourced from memes from Reddit. It is the kind of infantile patronizing feedback you would get if you asked for comments on financial statements from chatGPT.

I was just thinking their end goal seems to be to harvest creds by putting their own rebadged distribution of local models. That’s the only “business” model that makes sense.
Expressly harvesting creds through a 2FA app seems a little more direct.

It’s probably also reflective of the fact that google are throwing all their new resources at AI, as soon as you’ve hit cache invalidation you’re gone, and anything new that’s crawled is probably ranked differently in the post llm world.

Aren’t they already supply constrained? Seems like this would be counterproductive in further limiting supply vs a strategy of commoditizing your complements.
This seems closer to PR designed to boost share price rather than a cogent strategy.

Certainly possible if their calculation of income included non operating income otherwise excluded from revenue. (Eg. A gain on sale that dwarfs the underlying business). Such presentation is prevalent and a disclosure of “gross profit” isn’t uniformly required under GAAP

I wonder if 2) is a result of published bias for positive results in the training set. An “I don’t know” response is probably ranked unsatisfactory by human feedback and most published scientific literature are biased towards positive results and factual explanations.

I’m working on a workflow to automating font weight and sizing to cover silent letters and prosody which should cover a bit of that.
One of the key aspects though as a transitional learning tool is to teach children the diversity of sounds. So it’s intentional to not have a 1:1 mapping between phonemes and graphemes.

Thanks for that. Working on automating that but currently relies on macrons being typed manually.
