| schestowitz[TR2] | The small language model isn't bad if you can tailor it right for the customer base. IBM's play is definitely to target "AI" to enterprise-specific tasks like identifying certain credit card transactions, financial pattern recognition, and stuff like that. They are not playing to the general purpose market (writing sonnets on demand or making pretty pictures). IBM's implementation will be to perform domain-specific tasks with limit | Aug 30 14:59 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IMHO, there should be an Ethics probe to see if AK and his executives personally made money by colluding with Intel and investing in Intel stock for personal gain until the latest Intel debacle. All these guys know one another; AK has been in the business for a long time and would be directing investments in Intel as he saw fit. Corporate greed rears it's ugly head as usual. | Aug 30 14:59 |
