Dear @linakhanFTC, please consider FTC taking on Adobe's unchecked monopoly 🙏🏼 I have a 1-time licensed Adobe CS5 Suite (I NEVER shared the key), and because I choose not to cave into overpriced monthly subscription of their newest stuff, they don't allow me to use it anymore.

Kaiser Permanente insures about 1 million people in the Sacramento area. That's about $7 billion+ in revenues per year just from premiums alone. 🤯 Does anyone analyze how much $ worth of care is actually provided/realized to how many people for just one mini region like this?

My book's Arabic translation is out! Thank you, مكتب التربية | ABEGS!! (Although slightly bummed I didn't manage to include the transformers architecture—which became a basis for most of the LLM successes—in the book, since the draft was mostly written in 2018.)

“The meaning of life is to achieve your greatest potential, the purpose of life is to give it away.” – A slightly adapted version of some bumper sticker by Gabe Morningstar

In a small way, I fear that not saying "thank you!" to LLMs after they do some work for me (in light of knowledge that this is costly to the companies offering the service) is going to make me inadvertently express less gratitude to humans too.
