If the answers to those questions are anything other than “No/They don’t” or “Yes, but only if you’re NVidia/Selling the hardware that everyone else is losing billions of dollars on” I’m going to lose it. Edit: Losing it, in a good way

They want to sell hardware to businesses where the orders will be large and predictable. Renting the compute to the rest of us is just they avenue to that. They actually don’t care if we have access to compute whatsoever.

The same people who are so excited to bring us The Torment Nexus!

To be honest I more than half expected it to just be a list of 7 linux distros to install on it ^_

You could have simply ignored the post and moved on with your life. But you wrote this instead.

It just blows my mind that things got to the point where we have to seek a privacy focused not-internet-connected keyboard when that should have been the default all along.

Now it’s really in the cloud!

The Department of Truth i think

Borderlands 3 felt like getting mugged by Randy Pitchford for 20 hours. I’m not a real fan.

Yes

Decentralized app plotting a total takeover of the social internet? Are these tryouts for the mental gymnastics invitational?

I’m certain that’s not what that means. It only means that if Anthropic or Google wants to train an AI model THEY can steal any content they want.

Azul Crescent spotted in the wild? :D

Good!

In this climate of post-law America… yeah. Whatever will happen will happen I guess.

I don’t want Apple to win, but I DO want Musk to lose.

I don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.

So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.

What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.

I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.
