This passage completely undercuts the overall message the author is going for. The idea that the All In podcast or the remaining users of Twitter are authoritative is laughable.
No, it couldn’t. The tools to which you compare require a different or complementary set of skills to use, and the user must understand the output or mode of operation that the tool conveys.

Prompt engineering (within the context of ChatGPT) is more useful for jailbreaking than using it for its intended purpose, aside from which, the complaint of the OP from the linked post is that their coworkers do not understand the output, if they did, they would not rely on ChatGPT as a smokescreen.

It’s odd, but he convinced Vision Fund to go along with this. It’s a clever grift, if it’s legal.

Personally, I subscribe to the inclusive, Good Burger, definition of dude.

I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, ‘cause we’re all dudes, hey.

They're (presumably) double-dipping, the PC OEMs are already paying for the license.
The use of the .zip nTLD, as found on the linked website, is irresponsible.

People think of Google, not Alphabet; of Facebook, not Meta. The headline identifies the brand familiar to millions.
It’s maybe a stretch to call 4chan speak like “copypasta” a technical term.
They only started shipping this month... so, jury's out?

This doesn’t seem to comport with Amazon’s experience, investment, and trajectory with Graviton, based on public reference customers and a few personal anecdotes.

Ampere isn’t a slouch either…

If the fine does not exceed the value of the gain, is there any incentive to comply with the law?

Ballmer’s purchase of Nokia was a tremendous waste of money, it’s taken a lot of effort under Nadella to right the ship. The scope and performance of (at the time) Windows Azure was not particularly good under Ballmer, but was repositioned under Nadella. The criticism of Ballmer is not unjustified, he lingered around for years after his effectiveness.

Personally, I don’t view Microsoft as a consumer company, and Xbox should have been jettisoned after the 360.

Couldn’t say anything for Eastern Europe, but it’s rather popular in Western Europe and Japan, which is where the ad dollars are.
With a tool like this, you could get back into the animutation scene. (Edit: I guess it's a bit of a non-sequitur, but I enjoyed Suzukisan, so there's that.)

The creator of CUPS was employed by Apple, to work on CUPS. He left, and doesn't work on CUPS anymore. It's not some cloak-and-dagger thing.

Google's claim was widely criticized for being an unimportant and uninteresting benchmark, making the quantum s*premacy claim nonsense.

Later research proposes that an exascale-level supercomputer could simulate it in "dozens of seconds".

The ThunderX3 team is mostly gone, it's been hollowed out.
