No, I don't think all people in Spain work the same number of hours. Also, I think "other European countries" are not a homogenous group, average number of hours worked differs per country.
Well people in Spain have a lot less working hours than in other European countries such as Greece, Poland, and Malta. Whether work hours means doing actual work or just loafing around is harder to measure.
From your own link, of all the EU nation states Spain is pretty much middle-of-the-pack for per-worker hours.
Another counterpoint: higher work hour countries have higher rates of death per kilometer of active track [0]
Greece (highest in the EU for work hours) = 22.3 rail deaths per 1k kilometer of track followed by Portugal (another high work hour ranking) with 6.2, Portugal (about 200 more hours than Spain annual) at 6.2, and Hungary (at about 100 more hours) at 5.8.
The only two countries with less deaths per 1K KM of track and more work hours are Ireland and Estonia. All the rest (Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Finland, Slovenia, Luxembourg) have less annual work hours than Spain.
these comments are so ridiculous ( and probably paid for by competitors ).
Tesla made something actually cool. They did a live of demo of it. No one in these comments or anywhere else on earth could do what they just did. Even if they don't sell a single one they've received billions of views on these videos. Even if it wasn't commercially meaningful ( and of course it isn't given the small output of extremely expensive cars compared to mass manufacturing vehicles ), it's still just cool and props to them for doing something cool. The world needs more cool stuff
Not for me. I end up using chatgpt about once a week for my actual work, and maybe once a day for non work related things. Certainly if you need the subscription it's worth $20/month or whatever for a personal sub, but I don't seem to need that at the moment. I'm more curious about the $10k or $100k/month being value for money with people using it to do their entire coding.
the $100 and $200 plans can basically give you enough usage you can never write code by hand again. If you cant save yourself 25% of your time at least isnt worth $200 then maybe you should rethink this business
This reads to me as incredible cope. Maybe not both of these companies but certainly one of them will be enormously valuable, and there will always value in the frontier models even if much of the practical usage can be done locally
Why is it “certainly” the case that one will be enormously valuable?
Neither appears to be on track to long-term profitability specifically once you take into account depreciation on CAPEX.
On top of this the “productivity gains” from AI across the board seem to be a very mixed bag. The pitch from these companies has been huge gains in productivity and automation and although there is anecdotal evidence some people are able to do that, the broader studies seem to show marginal gains in most cases.
