Sad but true

Measures to stop "distillation", rate limiting, ID verification, etc. If there were such a method that didn't harm legitimate use it would already be in place (and some things are, but they don't really work, hence the OP).

Sure, but the problem is that it hurts legit people too.

It doesn’t matter. Distillation is impossible to stop. They could release an extension that intercepts requests and in return gives you a discount like Honey and get the same data.

I have found that AI search gets me what I want faster than any traditional search engine.

All chinese models are introducing themselves as claude? Why make claims trivially disproven?

In your example the problem is what exactly?

Who told you they were distilling? Why might they say this? Think. It’s like complaining that the top student only does well by going to office hours instead of mindlessly reading textbooks.

If execution were so easy everyone would do it.

based off what?

without any hard data one way or another your comment is worthless. "pile up subscriptions" - based on what? neither company is public. "piling up subscriber counts", "piling up API usage"? cool. how much money are they making? oh you don't know because they're not public.

the reality is one way or another that as long as there exists an alternative that a USA company could serve with the same compute rented from hyperscalers, this represents a threat, even if the extent to which is unknown

It is crazy people think apple isnt on the side of privacy. Are they perfect? Not even close, but compared to the rest of big tech theyre simply on another level.

Apple could easily not do this stuff and it may even be easier to not.

how it could grow : Bloom filter in RAM as a fast pre-filter (skip flash for the ~99% of misses)

You should watch the movie 100 meters. It is not about tech at all but does give an interesting story about the grind.

The value is simply that it is easier. The same way it is easier to ask someone who has experience for advice than reading hundreds of textbooks.

Why would this ever happen? Is it cheaper to destroy than sell at discount?

Done. Just added to profile, thank u!

Software “engineering”. Thank goodness bridges aren’t built with this level of rigor.

In any case I will take an invite if one has one because the community is solid.

without knowing the full extent of law suits initiated by apple this cherry picked set means nothing. a little over a dozen lawsuits you mentioned in a 40 year period. I mean so what, lol.

and if your one beefy server goes down? oh, now you want a replica. so much for one beefy machine.

Looks to still be over a trillion market cap.

Is it interesting? They want to be rich.

What a weird strawman

As opposed to what though? Again, I assert violence is inevitable.

There is nothing to disagree on, i am talking about net operating profit margins. It is math.

What you are saying is again irrelevant. It is not about justification. Is about net margins…

It is honorable but ultimately hasn’t democracy spoken wrt the issues mentioned in the post?

For better or worse millions of Americans voted for the guy doing the deportations.

I also find it difficult to reconcile not using AI for weapons. If war is inevitable AI presumably would at least ensure you are on target.

Why is the world cup so infrequent anyway? I assume to match olympics?

Good models need a lot of data. Can you really be accurate with what, 30 data points, in which the team composition is basically reset each time?

The point is if you are paying for software but not increasing your revenue by your margin you are lowering it even if you are increasing profit in absolute terms.

What you are mentioning with salaries is not relevant.

No, because costco has a 3% margin. A cart of stuff at costco costing 247 will yield 240 to various operating costs, and roughly $7 actually to costco.

If you have a lemonade stand you might sell a cup for $1, but overall after paying yourself and for the cups, lemons, etc you might only get 3 cents each cup.

For costco revenue equals sales and membership.

but it's not fundamentally different

It is. We are talking about LLMs here.
