Thanks for this. The most interesting aspect of the interview, in terms of adding to the written story, was this:

The operational staff, the people who do "kinetic" things for the United States, they do what the president says, and they initially thought this was a useful weapon to use in negotiations.

Models need to be continually trained and something like a convolution neural net work requires serious computational power from GPUs. You can technically run it on a home PC, but the process will be so slow that it is not worth it.

Are computers that run openAI fundamentally different than a high end commercially available computer? I know people buy bitcoin mining computers.

What I'm getting at...is it the sort of thing only governments and large corporations get access to, or can individuals or small businesses? How much would it cost to have your own local OpenAI?
