I don't think that's how tech companies work. Rarely any of them make a profit at the start and survive from investiments, and considering how impactful AI is OAI has no need to make a profit for a long time unless some company comes up with something so much better than them and monopolizes the whole market overnight or something like that.

I’m more optimistic about France in the near term actually.
Don't know how exactly that would work out but I agree that this seems possible.
It’s going to take an economic collapse for the Germans to get their heads out of their asses though.
If the war in Ukraine ends wihin the next year or so they might escape that, if Russia doesn't continue puting pressure on Europe (by helping Yemen/Palestine and the decolonization of Africa, for example) that is.
But if Germany and Europe continue feeling the pressure then things might happen within the next couple of elections, perhaps even before a hard collapse although likely through fascism, so we need to be vigilant.
Embodiment and things like it are a good one. Giving then the ability to interact with the world and basically use its interactions with the world itself to tell it if it succeded or not, leading to high quality data that can then be used to improve the next models. And having a way to use this to train the model itself, instead of the next gen, would be even better.
Just the other day I joked about Japan joining BRICS and this could be one step in that direction.
Now I'm wondering what would be the first ex-US state to join. lol
Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens with Taiwan as the US is turning its focus on China. Although unlikely I guess we can't rule out conflict starting not because of Taiwan being used against China but due to Taiwan going back to China and the US not liking it, even if it takes a decade.
It's really hard to predict the future when things are so "chaotic".
Thanks. I guess I should have been more careful with that.
Economic reform, in particular, was a main focus. The third plenum said that China will build a high-standard socialist market economy in all respects by 2035. In building a high-standard socialist market economy, **the role of the market must be better leveraged, with a fairer and more dynamic market environment to be fostered and resource allocation to be made as efficient and productive as possible. **
I am curious to see how this will go.
Among the highlights of the reform tasks, Li pointed to the various reform measures to ensure and enhance the people's well-being, including improving the income distribution system and the employment-first policy, which will help address the direct concerns of the people. The reform plan for building a high-standard socialist market economy is also of great significance, as it will help create a fairer and more dynamic market environment, Li said.
And specially curios about how they plan to change the income system.
This appears to be the full text but it's in Chinese and this is it in English.
Edit: Fixed link.
Good luck to the people of Yemen on their fight against genocide and hope their hard work can achieve even more than they already have.
And thinking about this whole situation I do wonder if key nuclear weapons infrustructure (like radars) will be hit soon, considering Ukraine has hit some of Russia's early warning radars and Russia may have started supplying Yemen with weapons. Although I'm not sure the colonists would take that opportunity to dial things back. I guess we will see what happens.
Any chance of suing them or something like that?
Would be nice to see some extra blowback from this too.
The capitalist bloc has too much investment in fossil fuels (with the petrodollar being the very foundation of the capitalist bloc’s world dominance) to let an “unlimited energy source” propagate around the world. Especially not if this source was controlled by a socialist country.
As I think about this such a development could be a big reason for the US to use nuclear weapons against China, so I do hope China builds something like laser defenses to take advantage of the new power source.
In my opinion, only the creation of a world socialist federation (not literally every country in the world, but a significant number) could create the political conditions for fusion power to become humanity’s main energy source. It would be necessary not only to get rid of political opposition from the capitalist bloc, but also to provide generous terms on which the third world could acquire fusion energy without having to undergo carbon intensive development first.
This could go hand in hand with cheap fusion reactors though, because if the reactors become very cheap fast and China can mass produce not dozens per decade but thousands per year this completely changes the game in a way that no one would really care for oil (other than the US and a few countries reliant on oil sales) in a year.
the military spokesperson for the Yemeni group said that “the Yemeni Armed Forces declare the occupied Jaffa [Tel Aviv] region an unsafe area and will be a primary target within the range of our weapons. and will focus on targeting the Zionist enemy’s internal front and reaching the depths.”
I wonder if they will use ballistic missiles, like Iran, or if they would target nuclear power plants. Either way things will likely get very hot very fast.
it will take a long time before fusion reactors spread, given how capital and technology intensive they are.
Part of that is the research cost and yes, it could be that when we finally get one made it turns out that the price to have something decent is very high.
But it could also be that when we finally have one or a few fusion reactors selling energy that new research done on them and things like AIs that can run new reactors by being trained on existing reactors data could drive efficiency up so much that by the tenth or twentieth reactor low cost reactors could already have been developed that might have a cost per construction close to or even less than equivalent power with other means as well. Even if they weren't as efficient as the best ones it might still make power a lot cheaper making then worth it in the short to medium term.
They can just make their money back through the IPO, so as long as the company is seen as valuable and promissing, as it still is, they won't really care about its losses.
