I still don’t understand why Meta did this. It’s a good opportunity to grow WhatsApp. It’d give people in areas of lower bandwidth speeds access to LLMs. Meta could just charge these large companies some sort of fee for running their LLMs through WhatsApp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ChatGPT and Copilot are being booted out of WhatsApp
Meta is kicking out the competition.

Given how they processed this data these numbers actually seem incredibly bad for AI relative to what investment requirements are and how most of the bigger LLM groups are already saying we're starting to plateau because of bottlenecks.

To what end? If we assume the argument is AI increases the threat in some way, Congress just let telecom off the hook on even a fig leaf of defense simply because those rules went in under Biden, and the admin is pulling cyber SA/SSAs off cyber and assigning to immigration enforcement.
Feckless.

All thanks to AI. I hope nobody's planning to build a PC anytime soon...
An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026
You can spend $50 more to get an entire PS5 Pro.
