  • If the code is GPL they'll generally be scared to use it. I agree with you for non-copyleft open source though

  • Farmers are often depicted as a profession done by poor people, the reality in the US is that the poor people got bought out decades ago, most farmers are actually gigantic land owners and often millionaires

  • Some other people said it's in the github but obfuscated as base64

  • Except the US economy is already dead, and only AI is keeping it "alive". If AI companies die, the US economy enters a true recession, and rich people would lose a lot of money

  • China literally just put out an open weight model that verifiably beats the unverified Mythos claims in some scenarios; the reality is that they most likely want the US to "win" the AI race (which they cant, closed models will always be beat by open weight, which is what China is doing)

    They're already on shaky finances, having an export ban would just pop the bubble sooner (and what remains of the US economy along with it)

  • They are scaling up but as with other things they will most likely scale to their inner market first, and then I doubt they'll subsidize a price depreciation to help westerners when they can get the profits for themselves

  • But did you think about China Bad™?

  • Well yes, megacorps have unlimited budget for AI datacenters, that's my point; consumer facing offerings don't, such as cloud gaming, and they're competing for the same price-gouged resource ("competing" is too generous tbh, consumer facing companies are getting curb stomped)

  • Only consumergrade hardware is overpriced

    Well no, the memory price increase is specifically here to price gouge AI datacenters. If you're running a non-AI datacenter, and if you're targeting consumers, like with remote desktop gaming, you have AI-like costs (literally, since servers GPUs are gaming GPUs), but without the enterprise customers. Oh and you also need the best bandwidth possible, because a few added milliseconds might make the "remote" use unbearable, which is an added cost datacenters don't have to deal with on the same terms.

  • Cloud? With what hardware? Everything is overpriced because of AI, no one is spared

  • On one hand yes, on the other I'm sure we'd all have dismissed people talking about a network of pedophilia linking every important statesperson and billionaires, before all the Epstein stuff came out

  • It's so arbitrary that Amethyst used to be one of the most expensive precious stones, before huge mines were discovered and it lost its status

    The split of semiprecious vs precious is essentially 18th century marketing BS, it's not relevant nowadays, even to jewelers.

    Some of the most expensive stones aren't even part of the "precious" stones because they were discovered recently, and since the term is obsolete even to jewelers there's no one to push the term on those new gems, like Alexandrite (which is more expensive than diamond)

  • "Fuck the child" safety act

  • It would be so fun if Apple and Google decided they'd rather not have business in England anymore

  • Not really, because when an employee fails their task it's the employee's responsibility, and if it's catastrophic enough it can lead to firings or lawsuits. But as soon as it's a chatbot, the liability fully rests on the company. How long will insurance protect those companies too?

  • The issue is that those bots are worse in completely unpredictable ways. Like when some airline passengers were given incorrect information which led to the airline being sued and having to pay the made up offer as well as damages & tribunal fees. The bots might be unhelpful, but to the disservice of the company's financials

  • I don't know of examples of dual licensing (maybe redhat?) But Wordpress is a GPL project that still has an industry around it

  • It wasn't really Singapore-based; the Chinese company relocated to Singapore to circumvent the Chinese regulations on sales to the US, that's why they put a stop to it

  • Even in the EU there isn't really an alt store ecosystem apart from the epic game store
