On a small subsection of US roads, British roads for example don’t make any sense.

However, generally I think being a software developer might be not a career in 10 years which is terrible to think about. Designer too. And all of this is through stealing peoples work as their own.

These models are not repositories or archives of others work that they simply stitch together to create output. It's more accurate to say that they view work and then create an algorithm that can output the essence of that work.

For image models, people are often pretty surprised to learn that they are only a few gigabytes in size, despite training on petabytes of images.

The easiest 100 thousand trips per week (look at the three cities) out of the US's 7.7 billion trips per week? How is that meaningful?
