  • I could argue this, I am Swedish and we have “free education”, you only have to pay living costs and we have a really good deal with CSN loan that has the lowest rates in the country and you only have to pay back when you are employed.

    But to the point, about 70% of the students leave because it’s not for them. Either they change program (packages of classes) or just drop out.

    But I think the strength of not being an uninformed country is before collage, we learn about politics and it’s structures, how to vote and stuff like that in the gymnasium, it’s like Highschool. Not sure how your highschool works but in gymnasium you pick a “program”/major, example “Physics, Electric, Economics” and stuff like that, and it’s focused on that with added basic lessions, so it’s sort of like Collage in US but at an earlier age. Most does not go to collage/university since gymnasium is usually enough.

    Edit; If we look at the demographic of “SD” (Sverige Demokraterna) an extreme far right party in Sweden, its a clear connection that they never finished gymnasium or that they dropped out. (Highschool drops out), but they also only had roughly 11% of the votes of the total population.

















  • Ah, i think there is a miss understanding of their name, it’s not open as in open source, it’s open as in open research. They publish all their research for others to duplicate. And yes, there is other models out there, but on one as good as GPT4. Unless you have a computer with 640 ram, you can’t run it. So yeah, compared to fetching data from a database that could be done on a Raspberry and generating data that requires a monster computer, i understand that they wanna put a price on the API.
