Totally agree Max. I wonder if this represents a new era for Open Source. Larger organisations (especially non-tech) may see value in providing resources into Open Source platforms, particularly operating systems, containerisation and virtualisation.

Also I expect that people simply don't want things foisted on them that they don't want or need.

In the current market I expect if OpenAI were to IPO, its value would be much higher than $500 billion. Time will tell if this value translates into worthiness.

I would say OpenAI is valued at $500 billion. What is becomes “worth” could be more or less, depending at IPO for example, what people are prepared to pay for it.

Something is worth an amount of money if somebody is prepared to pay you that value for it. Until then it is essentially worthless. (You could argue a company’s assets have some worth, of course)

Will we make the same mistakes again - of course we will.

I've always wondered if that culture of ignoring the obvious was a contributing factor to the demise of Lehmans and if it pervaded the entire organisation.

I also spotted that 1/2 the SAN ports were running at 1Gb/s rather than the specified 2Gb/s without a problem. We were also only using 1/2 the RAID sets in the storage, without problem.

I remember being at Lehman Bros before it closed down and joining 1/2 way through a big deployment of Exchange on EMC hardware. I suggested it was massively overspecified and was told I was wrong.

It certainly was. Couldn't resist a little dig though!

What a load of bollocks. Pun intended.

We had quite a lot. Nice and thick but it never settled on the roads and has mostly melted now.

Just go onto the Register directly. It appears to be the redirect link that isn’t working.

I get that we shouldn’t blindly accept the output of LLMs but where is the limit of the “trust but verify” approach? How do we know what to trust and what to accept if we don’t already have subject knowledge?

Thanks for the replies - looks like there is still a problem.
