It's a problem to pay Anthropic to use Claude? What are you talking about? It's a problem to pay Amazon for a fedramp data center with gpus? Think about what you're saying?
The answer is clearly and resoundingly no. Honestly don't know how you typed that question out with the current state of corporate (ir)responsibility towards cybersecurity.
This is just wrong unless you're using some confusing definition. Notice that companies trying to do lots of inference aren't looking for CPUs, they're looking for GPUs/TPUs.
America has won every war it's fought since at least Vietnam.
Your convoluted extended definition of winning would mean that Germany never defeated Poland or France. Or the British never defeated the Irish.
It's really a testament to how blithely lethal the US military is that you look at the wholesale destruction of one of the largest, most effective non-superpower states in the world and can honestly say out loud "the US didn't win the Iraq war"
Lethality doesnt mean winning, otherwise Vietnam would have been over in a month and the shock and awe of 2003 would not have been followed by ten years of battling with Iraqi militias.
As for Afghanistan, as candidate Trump said in 2012, "Afghanistan is a total disaster. We don't know what we are doing." [0] - not exactly winning. And what do you know, the Taliban are back in charge after he negotiated a settlement.
I do. I also blame doctors for the current state of our healthcare. It's a reprehensible, pissant, milquetoast thing to stand up and say "oh i hate the way <my_system> is. But I refuse to organize to fix it and I'll externalize responsibility for change onto those outside the system being victimized, who have no power at all." Thats all scientists do, bemoaning the state of affairs it took them decades to create.
If you thought ai data center NIMBYism was bad, ask a scientist about effecting change in their lab or field
You do realize that doctors aren’t the ones denying Americans life-saving care, right? They’re not even setting the rates. They don’t mandate the system, the perform within it.
They save lives, and you blame them instead of the politicians taking money from lobbyists to keep private insurance death panels profitable.
You kill someone, expect to get hell from their family.
Eventually the paying customers will get their fair share, even if it takes the new interim CEO taking a few million dollar pay cut to save a few more hundred Americans paying them money every month.
The President of the United States committing to spending $1.2 trillion of public dollars to send every adult a one-time $5K check if we vote the way he wants us to, while some family members face $120K or more in medical debt, it’s just a wild time.
It's exactly this mentality that is the problem. Doctors have much more agency that they admit. And they certainly can get more if they wanted to. Instead, they don't. And it's the constant refrain of "oh i absolutely just have got to follow along and enable" that's infuriating. No healthcare exec pretends they're disgusted with the system they support and strengthen. Doctors do.
