No it's not. There is a legal distinction in IP law between the act of observing information and the act of using that information for some kind of personal gain.
> The vast majority of processors are optimized for floats now and some operations (e.g. division) are actually faster.
This seems backwards. Hardware is optimized for floats because people use floats. If people used fixed point, hardware would become optimized for that instead.
Given an equal number of transistors, I'm pretty sure fixed point would be a lot faster on equally optimized hardware for almost all operations.

How? "appreciate" in this sense is not a transitive verb. There cannot be an agent.
In any case, I don't think you need to defend this. It's not about humans never using that pattern, it's about how frequent it is relative to LLMs. Individual counterexamples do not disprove a trend.
It's not "we should live in the same environment we evolved in to be happy", it's "the things that make us happy are a product of the environment we evolved in, and we should take that into consideration".
I hate that this discussion is about OpenAI vs. Anthropic and not OpenAI+Anthropic vs. Google.
Google put up so little of a fight against the DoW for their use of Gemini that we didn't even hear about it. They are clearly the worst of the evils here, but OpenAI is the one getting all of the negative press.
Nobody uses "performant" to refer to any of those. It usually means either high throughput, or some aggregate of high throughput + low latency + low memory usage.
Did this project exist in some form since 1997? The Wayback Machine shows that the website was previously completely different - a fan site for someone connected to the Norwegian royal family.
