Love that the "chat" functionality is just throwing 429s too. Unusable.

I recently received my clicks power keyboard and after 2-3 weeks of usage am substantially slower and less accurate; that being said, I never developed "blackberry" muscle memory.

I cynically wonder how much of this "pacing" is a mutual decision to reduce training expenditure costs as OpenAI and Anthropic plan to IPO.

Is Bedrock a "middleman?" I believe that they run all inference inside of AWS data centers, on their own infrastructure.

Their new endpoint even promises zero operator access [0]

For the hyperscalers, there is an ease of remaining in the Azure/AWS/GCP fabric from a data provenance perspective, particularly for regulated industries or large, risk-averse enterprises. There's also, of course, a certain network egress tax in most cases.

As long as token costs are being subsidized, I don't mind that this is the result of the consumer surplus.

Appears to have possibly been resolved? I can now converse with chatgpt.

How are they "ruining" Amazon with these launches? That is not clear to me.

We are no longer in a zero-interest rate environment, so I think those experiments are more costly than they were a few years go

Bannon for a while was deeply ingrained in Hollywood. He still earns residuals on episodes of Seinfeld [0], and owns the film rights to Michael Lewis' Liars Poker (even supposedly writing a screenplay for it himself) [1].
