With $122B what are you going to build next? Spaceships?

Rather than advancing the state of the art, they'll use it to slow down competition by starving them of resources. In the style of a monopoly.

All the high performance RAM, frontier node wafer capacity, flash and disk drives on Earth. Also, all the gas turbines.

Universal paperclips. And here I am asking ChatGPT which type of onion to use dor coq au vin.

If they buy all the jet engines too (to turn them into gas turbines) they can be carbon neutral. More gas burned, but less jet fuel. It's a win-win.

Google makes money like that in their sleep from mostly just advertising.

OpenAI charges about 20$/month to tens of millions of users right now. 240/year. About 12 billion per year. That's a market that could grown to billions of people with a long tail probably not paying a lot but being served ads; and a fat high end paying a lot more than that for an ad free/premium experience. They should be able to reach billions of users.

It's why Google is matching investments in AI like this entirely from the profit from ads.

Going to space isn't that expensive. SpaceX bootstrapped with a lot less than that.


Nah, you'll get a few days worth of inference.

A random thought. Metaverse is more interesting if manus get integrated into it



What metaverse?


“For Max and Team Premium users, we’ve increased overall usage limits, meaning you’ll have roughly the same number of Opus tokens as you previously had with Sonnet.” — seems like anthropic has finally listened!


What surprise me is that Opus 4.5 lost all reasoning scores to Gemini and GPT. I thought it’s the area the model will shine the most


I’m not sure even if these browser automation brings much value other than financial analysts, at least for the moment


I was sceptical as well before trying it out, but it is unfortunately very practical to ask the AI sidebar about an information-dense website or even github codebase (just as dev examples).

There were of course many browser extensions that did this beforehand (and even better, by hyper-linking the exact text passage of answer segments), but the main differentiator is that most people don't use them/know about them, and this comes with a big tech nametag and it is free.


Care to share some of those extensions? I feel like we're on the second/third wave of llm enhanced tools, and there's plenty of good stuff that got passed over from earlier waves of products/tool attempts.


Try search on a browser extension store for "AI Chat website" or similar. Also you can check out https://github.com/nanobrowser/nanobrowser.


Could you please suggest some of those extensions? I've been looking for an agentic tool like that, but isolated as an extension.


Not another comet or Claude browser extension plz. I stopped using them only a few days after launching

Why would us-east-1 cause many UK banks and even UK gov web sites down too!? Shouldn't they operate in the UK region due to GDPR?


2 things:

1) GDPR is never enforced other than token fines based on technicalities. The vast majority of the cookie banners you see around are not compliant, so it the regulation was actually enforced they'd be the first to go... and it would be much easier to go after those (they are visible) rather than audit every company's internal codebases to check if they're sending data to a US-based provider.

2) you could technically build a service that relies on a US-based provider while not sending them any personal data or data that can be correlated with personal data.


>GDPR is never enforced Yes it is.

>other than token fines based on technicalities. Result!


Read my post again. You can go to any website and see evidence of their non-compliance (you don't have to look very hard - they generally tend to push these in your face in the most obnoxious manner possible).

You can't consider a regulation being enforced if everyone gets away with publishing evidence of their non-compliance on their website in a very obnoxious manner.


Integration with USA for your safety :)


Is anthropic killing its own plugin just days it was born????


Well. I bet Notion simply forget some of APIs are private before. I started developing using Notion APIs on the first day it got released. They have constant updates and I have seen lots of improvement. There is just no reason why they intentionally want to make the duplicate page API on MCP but not api.

PS. Just want to say, Notion MCP is still very buggy. It can't handle code block, nor large page very well


> There is just no reason why they intentionally want to make the duplicate page API on MCP but not api.

I have no idea what is going on inside Notion, but if I guess - the web UI (including the private REST API which backs it), the public REST API, and the AI features are separate teams, separate PMs, separate budgets - so it is totally unsurprising they don’t all have the same feature set. Of course, if parity were an executive priority, they could get there-but I can only assume it isn’t.
