yeah the way they worded it is really strange

Instead of marketing simply acquire the rights to an old IP your audience will feel nostalgia for and do steam early access for 3 years.

I dont think this LLM in everything trend is going to last very long. It's way too expensive for it to be in literally all consumer things. I can imagine it finding some success in B2B applications but who is going to pay Logitech to pay OpenAI $30 per million tokens? (Lambda for comparison is $0.20 per 1M requests if you pay the public rate)

I'm trying to understand the abstract a little bit here but struggling. Is the implication here that they are able to push an LLM to create surprising or novel phrases by predicting the the strength of brain responses to those phrases?

If so that's an interesting approach to escape the problem of LLM-generated text being extraordinarily bland.

For consumers yes people are locked into google or apple ecosystems, but for large scale businesses often they either have their own infrastructure or they do multicloud. Sometimes they even use different vendor mixes per region because there may be local providers who can compete locally with the big boys. What I think would stop large businesses from using Chinese vendors is the US government saying they are not allowed to use Chinese vendors. Their lawyers at that point will simply not allow them to buy Huawei equipment or use Tencent cloud. I dont think these shell games are strictly necessary when it comes to companies doing business in the US. Politically though it may be problematic for them to do that right now.

good to know he's apparently as gross on the inside as he is on the outside

The weakness of the dollar hegemony that Biden himself created has been patched up, with the latest $95 billion spending bill

I'm not sure I buy this for two reasons. First, I am somewhat unconvinced that the recent dedollarization activity was organized enough to be effective at all, regardless of the actions of the US in response. And second, the amount of money being spent on war is almost a rounding error for the total number of dollars in existence. So I think the dollar hegemony is weak but has not yet been threatened, in other words.
