Because admitting sloppiness is less sexy.
Every $1 they invest brings back $100 in their valuation maybe.

We already have the answer to many of these questions.

Just like cloud vs private server. It'll be based on use case.
Some open source models will cross the chasm, some big ai providers will too, and in both case they will have their specific use cases.

On the OP link, they compare themselves to the capabilities of leaderboard AI's and beat them.

Just need to open the link to answer that question.
Buildings are built to resist earthquakes. Outside, anything (electric poles, roof tiles...) can fall on you.
Re:AirPods Libreated from Apple's Ecosystem on Sunday November 16, 2025 @12:44PM (#45946897)
I'm all for everything being compatible with everything, but why should apple invest resources in testing/debugging android compatibility for something that they make?

Indeed, target users are people seeking validation + kids and teenagers + people with a less developed critical mind. Stickiness with 90% of the population is valuable for Sam.
A little detail in the otherwise great write up! I'm curious too.
Directly taken from Gate's book.
Re:An election forecast that's 50-50 is not "giving up." on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @08:17AM (#43331697)
It's not all or nothing. Within EU nations, you will find many systems that sit within a spectrum between a rigid 2 party system like the US, and a full blown multi-party coalition type government broken down into specific levels, like Belgium.
Depends who will ultimately deliver.
Or, if you're more of the entrepreneurial mindset, do one last update of the software to introduce a pay-as-you-go/SaaS model with your credit card in, and when you're leaving, you remove your credit card info.
Might as well shield yourself from future litigation at the price of looking like a detached CTO.

Fascinating. So this MOND theory works in this case. If I understand correctly, scientists still prefer the dark matter theory because it applies in more cases at galactic scale, and this is just one occurrence of the MOND theory working fine?
Re:Europe probes Microsoft's €15M stake in AI upstart Mistral on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @07:50AM (#39537179)
Personally, growing a startup enough to catch the eye of EU regulators is a problem that I’d like to have.
Re:The Apple Vision Pro on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @03:15PM (#39279910)
Why wasn't this incorporated by Apple in the original product?
Wow, I'd love to witness something like that one day. My circle doesn't include a lot of these people, and maybe that in itself is part of the more general problem.
Re:Hertz to Sell 20k EVs in Shift Back to Gas-Powered Cars on Friday January 12, 2024 @09:09AM (#38968106)
Too bad, EV rental worked great for me with hertz, despite all the terrible testimonials in this comment section.
Re:Labs.Google on Friday December 22, 2023 @05:22AM (#38732834)
What you’re seeing is exactly that, engineers and researchers in charge, trying to communicate by emulating stuff they don’t understand. Product people need to be involved to find a market fit for all this great tech.
Re:Fukuoka court rules ban on dual nationality is constitutional on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @04:35PM (#38549821)
Any US citizen HAS to leave the US with their nationality. That’s the law.

U.S. citizens must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. This requirement is outlined in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, specifically 22 CFR 53.1. It states that a U.S. citizen must possess a valid U.S. passport to depart from or enter the United States unless they meet certain exceptions. This law ensures that U.S. citizens are properly documented for international travel, facilitating legal entry and exit from the country.

Re:My insulin pump controller has a bug on Friday December 01, 2023 @08:59AM (#38486708)
Because anything different from that would be admitting that it is a life threatening situation and they are not going to treat it as such.

Welcome to Amazon!
AI is still uncharted territory, both are equally important.
Can't wait to see journalists introduce FOIA requests with prompt injections.
