Article mentions a Canadian competitor that actually published a warning.

Would be interesting when Bluedot also starts forcasting instead of explaining after the fact.

Could very well that their runway is limited and the CEO wants to keep his lab open with additional Masayoshi money.

Instead of a lazy press release cover it is a lost opportunity for this journalist, because an in depth story how these AI competitors function in the real world sounds very interesting.

I don't say this lightly, but it's irresponsible to report on this without addressing the possibility of the Texas Sharpshooter effect.
