A lot of the people replying to you don't seem to realise that it comes from analog/mechanical watches where major features of the watch are advertised on the dial. "Spring drive" "co-axial" "Swiss made" etc.
Except I agree, in an analog watch it's somewhat classy (although people complaintthat seiko sometimes overdoes it) but on a digital watch it seems a bit gaudy, because _of course_ it has those features, it's almost zero effort to add when you're not having to implement them with physical mechanisms.
I would suggest that llms could access information more reliably and securely than humans ever could.
The padlock on browsers means nothing to most humans. Permission popups are just there to be immediately accepted so that one can start scrolling reels sooner rather than later.
Imo TSMC would have been better positioned to open a new fab in Europe, preferably Netherlands so they can be close to ASML and create a working relationship to help test and develop upcoming nodes/tooling.
The only reason US is getting the fabs is because Trump threw a tantrum. As always the best way to deal with Trump's posturing is to call his bluff, just like on the moronic tariffs.
If TSMC had said no, and Trump issued tariffs, then TSMC can follow up with "Well, no wafers for any US company then". They'd take a hit, but not as big a hit as the current administration's popularity with a population who can't get their iPhones to browse the tiktoks.
To make point 3 happen fast, their army of Forward Deployed Engineers roam inside existing companies and build for the companies using the companies subscriptions.
this point is not bad. i imagine this is the most viable option for them since those engineers build experience and knowledge. but they only build softwates.
I believe the point is that every software engineer using AI is one of those “Forward Deployed Engineers”.
Although the point would be equally valid if they were OpenAI consultants. (Imagine paying twice for the help: once for the consultant and once for the tokens.)
Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir and others have had FDE roles for years as well. G/M/A called them something else (customer engineering, solutions engineering, frontier engineering etc etc) but have recently realigned and started calling them FDE too
Yes, I'm realistic about it too. For simple queries it nails it more often than not. It's only asking it more complex technology related questions that it falls apart for me, and in those cases I already know I should be talking to one of the big boi models for certain lines of questioning.
Google certainly ain't gonna run a several T model for every search that's for sure (well, not yet).
I'm skeptical that the misinformation campaigns are run by China, et al. but I do believe there are a number of competing interests directly manipulating public perception.
But then if you observe human behaviour at a macro level don't we do the same?
I think we like to pretend that we don't. But even if you think about it from a bio/physics point of view, all we are is just a bunch of biological wires and neurotransmitter packages.
I know there's the whole unproven quantum tubule nonsense but even that would be a physics effect that we could learn about, manipulate and extort just as we have with everything else we've learnt about our realities.
