Maybe nobody (corporation/gov) is paying for that right now, but if all of those things become cheap enough to make sense to do (cost of transmission/ storage/processing are low enough to turn a profit or get the data you want) then someone (corporation/gov) will do it.
Maybe they are making that comparison for the people they want to upgrade to the new macs and not for people that just got their M1 MacBooks.. making m1 to m2 comparison for intel mac users would not make much sense in that case.
Doesn’t seem like they are suggesting that apple can do no wrong. Just pointing out that this is similar to other major Apple announcements. I found their contribution interesting, I’m not sure why you feel the need to be hostile about it.
Because I see the same comment on every single criticism of Apple product announcements, basically implying that Apple isn't capable of doing wrong and that any criticism will just be in vain.
The passive aggression is ugly, it's not a healthy environment for discussion and (as the kids say) simping for a massive company is just plain disgusting.
I think that depends on how you use the tool. For example asking for answers vs asking probing questions while working something out. So it’s probably up to you as an individual. If you’re missing out on “all this” you might just be asking for answers.
If people built pages or software in one day, they seem to ask for answer too.
These means they are the less useful part in the development process and can easily be replaced.
That's why I don't see the big leverage for individuals in that kind of development.
They will be one of millions with exactly the same skill set and lost without GPT. It sounds like those boot camp courses: Build ten projects in ten days to become an genius programmer.
Doesn't work, and I think people will overestimate their skill because GPT helped them to do a clone of something that already exists thousandfold.
> If a piece of art is made by a computer based on detailed instructions, that art was made by a computer, not a person.
Tell that to music producers and digital artists. They don’t know what detailed instructions are run by the cpu of the device they use, and yet it is still art and they are still artists.
But that's entirely different. A digital artist is directly engaging in art. The computer is, in that case, just a tool like a paintbrush. The artist is still the one making all the creative decisions.
To go back to my ghost writer analogy, the reason that nobody would say I was the author is because I wasn't the one who made the creative decisions. I just described what I wanted to another person who made the creative decisions. Therefore, the other person is the author, not me.
I bought a number of them for $200 each last year, so compared to that and considering these are still among top of the line as SSDs go: Yes, I think they are great deals. $40 might not sound like much, but it is in quantities.
The price could get even lower and that would make for an even greater deal too, of course.
And if anyone thinks it's just the Samsung 980 PRO, other brands with products at a similar quality tier are priced likewise: The 2TB Crucial P5 Plus for $132 USD[1][2] and the 2TB Western Digital SN850X for $160[3].
> Some companies can’t afford to use TSMC’s latest and greatest silicon because big companies have soaked up all the capacity.
Apple is single handedly bankrolling the latest and greatest from TSMC. If it wasn’t for them, the latest and greatest would likely be even more expensive/out of reach for “some companies”.
