This is exactly the issue.

What the mathematicians could do is reveal whether they had the data-sharing opt-out on or not. But curiously, as far as I've seen, none of them will answer that question!

>It is way cheaper long term.

How few songs do you listen to, and movies/shows do you watch, for this to possibly be true?

>I then realized that most people just stick with whatever default they're provided with, and it's a lot of them.

This is something I wish more people in tech understood, especially anyone who gets to decide the defaults for popular hardware and software.

The average consumer will never, ever change the defaults. So it's incredibly important that your product is an amazing experience with the default settings.

Right, but God's Eye B isn't anywhere near good enough for unsupervised self-driving. The hardware isn't the issue; the software just isn't in the same league as Tesla FSD.

>For a Tesla, the estimates are around $2K

Where are you seeing this? The estimates I've seen all land around $1K.

Cybercab has double the RAM and a bit more memory bandwidth, but otherwise it's the same 8 external mono RGB cameras.

It's maybe $1.5K of BoM total for the chip, memory, and cameras.

>I would expect that regulators will require them on all cars

That assumes that suppliers are available to affordably add it.

So far Tesla is the only company remotely close to unsupervised self-driving that doesn't add $1000s to the BoM cost of the car.

I haven't experienced anything like this with Codex. Why do people stick with Claude Code if it doesn't do what you ask it to?

Actually, it has been essentially balanced out by a greater need for behind-the-shelves workers to pack and load orders for online/app delivery and eCommerce orders.

This is how the economy often works. The loss of one kind of job to technology lets the business grow by using the same number of staff, or often even more, to serve new opportunities/markets/products/services.

>If compute is cheap

This cost millions of dollars of tokens.

Not reading the thing you're commenting on is even worse form, yet it seems to be a plague here!

This is utterly shocking. Even the AI optimists did not expect this to happen in 2026. Wow.

Millennium Prize Problems were used as examples of something the current approach to AI just wasn't capable of, discussions that would result in "we'll need a totally new architecture".

Did you actually read the article and the substance of the solution?

>our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs unforced)

DeepMind objectively is doing that. The world is not so black and white as "evil profit-hungry corporations will never do anything good".

You are conflating the specific technical limitations of Nano Banana 2 with the general nature of AI.

This is akin to the "God of the gaps" fallacy, wherein your worldview is going to be repeatedly decimated by advancements in models.

Nano Banana 2 isn't even in the top 5 image models anymore - it's obsolete: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image

For example, the same prompt in GPT-Image-2 has no such issue (I even asked for a calendar, just for you): https://chatgpt.com/share/6a9dbdb6-1c00-83eb-b445-9a0608ca79...

Google DeepMind is far behind the frontier. Switch to ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok!

Most employed (and contracting) humans are prompted repeatedly every day.

This is the case for all the major AI providers. Training collection is on by default, but you can opt out.

>you seem to be setting the bar at "fixing the world's problems"

No, this is the bar the general public sets for billionaires. They, ignorant of the scale of the problems, believe billionaires could afford to solve the world's problems. That is a widespread belief.

Because he presents his predictions with extreme confidence, and asserts that anyone who disagrees must be crazy.

Right, but as the article linked lays out in detail, Zitron has been repeatedly and consistently objectively incorrect.

And what did they achieve?

It was mostly PR. Gates and Buffet were (and are) rich, but their money simply does not come close to the scale needed to fix the world's problems.

Gates is worth $110 billion. Global GDP is $126 trillion.

>end hunger and homelessness with a one-time capital expenditure?

A significant percentage of the world's hungry live under warlords, militias and dictatorships that would simply kill anyone trying to peacefully give their subjects food.

Unless you're proposing AI military interventionism, you cannot fix this.

Homelessness on the other hand is mostly a mental health and drug addiction problem. Fixing it, in many cases, would require violating the consent/wishes of the homeless person.

The world's biggest problems, unfortunately, cannot be solved by throwing money at them. A lot of rich individuals, NGOs, and nation states have tried.

OpenAI doesn't have the best-performing public model, but it's an open secret that Astra, the internal model, is better than anything Anthropic has internally.

When's the last time you used Starlink?

It was rough when it first launched, but as of 2026 it's very fast and highly reliable, with shockingly low latency.

Why is that a problem if it _is_ an upstream vendor problem? (assuming it is)

>slowly lose market share over decades, end up doing nothing and yet more profitable and more valuable than ever

>SpaceX

SpaceX has been gaining market share, not losing, and its primary business is Starlink, of which most customers are consumers.

(there is also Starshield)

This is, somewhat ironically, the most well-known HN comment outside of HN.

You are misreading that link. That's a list of all their models.

Just like 3.7 Flash, 3.1 Pro says "No shutdown date announced."
