- Speaking of Nvidia, how does the 5070 stack up against the 4070? (Tom's Hardware)

Apart from that it's basically the same.

Pricing doesn't exist yet.

I am not inclined to trust much info yet on the Las Vegas bombng thing. I do think it would be an embarrassing disappointment to have terrorists who screw up because they are stupid enough to ask an LLM how to do terrorism. Not that I want effective terrorists, but I am a perfectionist, and think it a bit shameful if even the scum of our society cannot be more thoughtful when it comes to doing stuff with machines.
