Well yes, but for example, when someone activated voice interaction with their phone, Google or Apple decide what AI solution is used, and Google already decided to roll their own. When most companies go into AI, just expanding their existing relationship with Microsoft is what their business leaders like. Generally the established companies have preserved the customer engagement even when they resell newcomers.

An example of what you ponder would be like Sears, kmart, Amazon. The thing was that Amazon was greatly valued going direct. People loved the prices and shipping speed. Imagine if instead Amazon decided to partner with Sears and K mart and those companies largely handled the customer engagement with Amazon fulfillment on the backend. Amazon would have been much more exposed to those companies bringing it in house. This latter situation more closely resembles OpenAI and Anthropic right now, at least for the big businesses likely to pay enough after the price hikes.

I personally would exclude OpenAI from my list of likely to endure. OpenAI partners are largely switching to Anthropic, their models and tools are generally less well regarded. The only time I had someone advocate for them it was due to some scenario where it was much cheaper.

Problem is that based on what I've read. Altman has way overextended his company. The financial obligations outpace their revenue and likely revenue way too much.

Anthropic has some risk since Microsoft, Google, and Apple insourcing would be a big problem for them.

GenAI is here to stay in one form or another, with long term impacts.

I wager the bubble will pop when OpenAI finally admits they have no path to making good on their purchasing commitments. They aren't the whole bubble and Altman has made what should be obviously the worst financial moves, however the broader market will be more bearish on anything they vaguely think to be OpenAI like.

I suspect it'll be with a year from now, based on what I've read.

The companies will never stop doing the GenAI things, but they may be less utterly obnoxious about it. I suspect Google and Anthropic have the highest chances of enduring a pop, anthropic for being well regarded in the field and Google because they get to make most phones go to them automatically whether requested or not.

I think GenAI will persist in obnoxious ways, but at least more bearable without folks desperately needing it to be adopted for the sake of their wealth.

A fair argument can be made that the Chinese government considers EV an imperative and interferes and subsidizes, so it's not fully free market. Thus any country with industry competing with China needs to decide if they care and if they care, how to respond to advantage conferred by China government policies. Whether that's similar incentives for their domestic industry and/or tariffs to try to level the playing field.

Broadly speaking people following memorized or planned routes had some clearly dangerous stuff.

Like "I'm nowhere near the correct lane but that's the exit I know to take so I'm going to get over there no matter what". Sure I still see it happen, but people that feel good about the backup plan feel better that it'll get them on track in a reasonably ok way. Yes, presumably the next exit you can turn around, but in some places that could be quite a distance and the gps is likely to sort out a less punishing route.

On the unusual circumstances, practically speaking that's usually an accident or traffic. However plenty of times you have construction not announced in any way you are likely to know. If they are going to work on a major interstate then if possible they put up a big sign. If they are emergency repairing a pothole, you won't have warning. Here the most recent parade was due to a celebration about three days after something happened to celebrate. Very little warning and I only knew if that because of listening to local news.

Unfortunately they would broadly be systems that need about 15kw, and as part of a board that won't work as discrete parts.

So you get it, but you'll need a couple of 60 amp circuits to dedicate to it... Also you have no viable video out

There were a lot of companies that were unprofitable during dot com and failed.

The question would be if openai is like Amazon or webvan or Netscape or AOL or....

I would argue that openai is more overextended than amaxon was, and worse, they aren't really seen as the leading company anyway, nor do they have a strong hook. Anthropic is broadly more well regarded, and Google has the captive audience of phones and browsers.

Despite this reporting suggests openai maybe the most insane purchasing commitments.

I don't think it ends well for openAI, however durable AI market ends up otherwise.

But how wild that confrontation realistically materialize?

A sternly worded letter? That has been so effective in the past.

Punitive tariffs? Trump administration would love an excuse to levy retaliatory tariffs. Remember the nature of the administration is isolationist.

Sanctions? Maybe you get some more pressure, but again the administration trends towards isolationist authoritarian, and has already openly said they didn't care about the economic problems the people have compared to Iran.

Military confrontation? There no way any of those parties stick their neck out that much for Iran. Similar story for any clandestine operation to take out the administration.

The economic harm I suppose could inspire an assassination attempt by folks resourceful enough to make it happen.. But it is a longshot.

It was sarcasm. Your sentence was fine except the typo which has nothing to do with language skills.

She was flying with a flight instructor in the role of student. I think that's enough for a lay person to take those words at face value, not knowing what a PPL means. Even if they searched it up, they'd see 40 hours of flight time, and that's similar to the requirement to give a teenager a driver's license, and it may be hard to square that with landing a plane, which is a very intimating task to people who have mostly never flown an aircraft.

I've seen similar stories about incapacitated flight instructors and celebration of student pilots making it out safely, and I think the reporting is similarly "surprised" about a mere "student" getting out unscathed whether male or female.

Yeah, cabin monoxide comes up now and then

Simple, people assume "student pilot" means doom without realizing how far along people fly with instructors.

I think it's much to assume the surprise is about gender instead of the word "student".
