I also highly doubt that the price remains $20 per seat. To become profitable and give an ROI there's no way the price doesn't go up.

I disagree that the world gets to be a better place and people become more successful by giving more money to ChatGPT and Anthropic. I don't trust them to act in anyone's interest but themselves.

Variations of this talking point are suddenly everywhere. The Matt Shumer piece says the same but longer.
The models are better, y'all better get ready.
Hide your women, hide your children.

Hmm. If I can't use this to throw AI crawlers into the digital sea then it'll get uninstalled.

Shame he's not in control of one of the largest GenAI companies really. If he was he might be able to take some action rather than penning a 19000 word essay while others do harm.

Urgh. It was -11 here in our village in the Alps earlier in January. It's not unthinkable that we'll record temperatures in the high 30s come the summer which would mean a 50 degree swing from summer to winter.
Madness.

We drove to Norway from France in our EV last summer. Got chatting to a Colombian marine scientist on the harbour in Stavanger who told us he'd been meeting dozens of Spanish tourists who were taking coolcations to get away from the extreme heat of the summer.

The warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark is an intriguing end.

Merci Romaric. C'est vraiment super que vous ayez pris le temps de répondre ici, merci. Je suis satisfait du service de Smash jusqu'à présent et vos assurances ont dissipé toutes mes hésitations.
