It's always been a race to segment themselves as the first option to justify bailouts and their sunk cost.

OpenAI is rapidly losing money and is projected to lose $14 billion in 2026 alone.

@CburgesCliff @PhysWiz @Science_George That's why Apple had to revert back their keyboard mechanism and make their MacBooks thicker. This is also why I don't like the Macbook Air.

Looking forward to reading this! @CburgesCliff 🙌

The road diverged in the woods. Do you (a) read about the work of one of the (no hype) great scientists and great public intellectuals of the 20th century (b) watch a youtube channel telling you that everything is bullshit?

The choice is yours

Cosmology in 2025 will be really exciting so I put together a ‘Top 2025 Cosmology Papers I’m Looking Forward To’. Ordered from nearest to furthest, and guessing a bit on when they’ll come out. A fun 🧵
