I don't see how it's relevant. The counterfeit adderall being sold isn't pharmaceutical grade meth. People buying black market sealed bottles of adderall would probably want to know that it's likely not adderall.

It would be cool if there was a platform to crowd source compute resources to train stuff like this so that regular people (without 7 figure budgets) can have access to these models which are becoming increasingly out of reach to the general public.

I agree and it's interesting that he also went on to become a black belt in jiu jitsu which is mostly not bullshido.

Are government subsidies actually a good way to promote R&D? The U.S. has a couple notable failures there (ethanol/corn, and Solyndra).
And Germany has put billions and billions of Euros into their aggressive renewable energy push with very little to show for it.

Just bought it. Anybody that can build a successful search engine on perl probably has something useful to say. :)
If you want to increase sales you should get some reviews up there on Amazon. If you have a mailing list you can offer a limited number of free private ebooks to beta readers and encourage recipients to leave an honest review. That's standard practice on Amazon. The only stipulation is the review has to be voluntary and honest. Ideally you'd already have that in place on launch day but it's not too late.

A transactional schema usually isn't ideal for running analytics on. So you create a data warehouse that transforms your data into a schema that's more amenable to reporting. They probably have a ton of marketing data also they integrate into the data warehouse to run analysis on.

How can they make money delivering for $9.99? I guess the item prices are jacked up a little.

If technology isn't a means to an end then what is it? I don't see how it can be anything other than that unless you say it's like art for art's sake - technology for technology's sake.
