Much has been written about the #hype surrounding #LargeLanguageModels (so-called "AI") and their effect on the IT industry - both on its products and on its consumers.
But this post by @calpaterson explores a related aspect that I haven't seen discussed so far: will making LLMs be a profitable business in the long run?
"A lot of people think that (LLMs) are going to be The Future. Maybe they are — but that doesn't mean that building them is going to be a profitable business."
https://calpaterson.com/porter.html
Cal elegantly explains how the structure of the industry you're in (suppliers, buyers, competitors etc) influences your chances of success. Then, he goes on to analyze the situation for #OpenAI and others.
Definitely recommended reading! No MBA required.

Fun fact: this book was already sitting on my desk back in June, as the photo in this "look to your left" post shows: https://nerdculture.de/@tynstar/112599502554495680
I have finished reading it in the meantime, I was just too lazy to put it away. 😆
It's a good book, by the way - definitely recommend for people who are into #UrbanFantasy (and can tolerate a bit of sexyness).

Habt ihr euch auch gefragt, was #Lindner und die #niemalsFDP mit dem kalkulierten #Koalitionsbruch glaubten erreichen zu können? Die #Zeit hat da einige interessante Hintergründe herausbekommen. Und ich bin sprachlos.
»Das liberale Drehbuch für den Regierungssturz«
»Geheime Sitzungen, Präsentationen, Strategiepapiere: Recherchen der ZEIT zeigen, wie die FDP den Bruch der Ampel wochenlang vorbereitete. Der Name der Operation: "D-Day"«

Does anybody know why #AtlassianJira seems to create a new session for each request made to its REST API using personal access tokens? Due to this, usage of my @chronolink app causes problems for the Jira admins at my company.
More details can be found in my forum post at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Why-does-Jira-create-a-new-session-for-each-REST-API-request/qaq-p/2869461
If you know about this behavior, or know someone who could help, please chime in or boost. Thanks!

I also hope that having written this article doesn't sabotage your career at the #WashingtonPost or elsewhere.
Finally, I'm wishing you you a safe, easy delivery and a healthy baby.
Kind regards,

It is my hope that precisely due to these traits, this article gets a few more of your fellow American citizens thinking, or at least strengthens the resolve of people who lean blue and/or value democracy not only to vote, but to also go out in their communities and talk about what's at stake here. The article may look insignificant to some, but even if it affects only a handful of people: every single #vote counts, so it would still be an achievement. Your achievement.

The idea for this article was a brilliant one, and the courage to actually write it is commendable:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/26/washington-post-endorses-kamala-harris-satire/
So I decided to send Alexandra Petri a few words of encouragement:
»Hi!
With this email, I want to say thank you and congratulate you for writing the #endorsement article.
I enjoyed reading it very much. Out of all the news bits and full length articles on the #election I read this year, yours stands out as it is as witty as it is true, it's personal and relatable, and it very obviously comes from the heart.

@Volksverpetzer zur Polizeilichen #Kriminalstatistik (#PKS) und wie Medien sie verzerrt zitieren:
»Wusstest du, dass die Zahl ausländischer Tatverdächtiger von #Gewaltverbrechen 2023 leicht ZURÜCKgegangen ist?
Vermutlich hörst du das zum ersten Mal. Denn was BILD, AfD & Co. die letzten Jahre so für #Panik verbreitet haben, damit du Ausländer hasst, klang überhaupt nicht danach, oder?
Niemand hat in den letzten Jahren getitelt: “#Ausländer haben #Deutschland sicherer gemacht”, weil diese Verwechslung von Korrelation und Ursache offensichtlich #Blödsinn ist. Umgekehrt wird dieser Kurzschluss aber ständig gemacht.«

Ich komme auf dem Weg zur Arbeit durch eine Fußgängerzone in #Dortmund, wo ständig Leute nicht nur die #StraßenverkehrsordnungStVO ignorierend parken, sondern damit auch das #Bodenleitsystem (#Blindenleitsystem) blockieren. Ich finde das ganz übel. Was macht man da am Besten?

Ich wünschte, Journalist:innen in deutschen #Medien würden verstehen, dass sie #KeineBühneFürFaschisten bieten dürfen. Und dass sie das dann auch systematisch durchziehen. In Luxemburg und Südbelgien klappt das:
»Rechts liegen lassen«
»In Luxemburg und Südbelgien bieten die Medien Extremist:innen kein Forum – und konnten einen #Rechtsruck damit bislang verhindern. Ganz anders in Deutschland. Plädoyer für ein Umdenken.«

Das #Deutschlandticket haben sich bekanntlich ja hauptsächlich Menschen geholt, die sowieso die Öffis nutzen bzw. schon ein Abo hatten. Wie man wohl mehr Leute dazu motiviert, mal #BusUndBahn auszuprobieren?
Die Stadt #Mainz versucht es jetzt ein Jahr lang mit monatlichen 0-Euro-Samstagen. Das Ganze wird wissenschaftlich begleitet. Eine schöne Idee, finde ich - das darf gerne Schule machen!
