Labor. Smart labor would be much cheaper I'd reckon in China than in the US.

How much advantage in costs? What % of labor is training cost?

Mercor, Tacit Labs, Handshake AI... I suspect companies like these play a big part in model improvements, generating high quality benchmark/task-focused data for training.

However, these do require educated, white collar, workers.

Considering that frontier scientists and engineers in the US are currently taking home seven (or even eight, in some cases) figure salaries - pretty high, I'd reckon.

Would like to see the math since the claim is made.

It's that Firefox occasionally breaks websites because most devs only test and target for Chrome. And that it is now more CPU and RAM-hungry than Chrome.

Also that it is controlled by Mozilla, an org ALLEGEDLY more interested in fringe politics than tech.

I literally only have Firefox installed and cannot remember the last time I encountered a broke web page.

Brave is nowhere near as snappy as Chrome and Firefox with all its bloat.

E-Commerce in general is a sector infamous for horrifying treatment of its labor.

>The replication crisis in science is real

In psychology, you mean. Many contest if it even qualifies as a science anymore after the complete annihilation of trust it has undergone.

I used to be interested in it but ever since they launched Brave Orion it has become clear they intend to actively monetize the free public versions they have been releasing, and the path they're taking with crypto and add-on bloat just feels ickier than most of its competition including Chrome.

> they launched Brave Orion

I think you mean Brave Origin. It's the minimal version without the extra services. Free on Linux and purchaseable on other platforms.

I think that's a fair compromise, since the company needs to somehow make money.

By that logic you don't really need paper notes either.

Severe limits on additional filters, which is bad for people who want it to add more annoyances than it does by default.

Most office IT actively blocks it.
