No work is getting done there. They’re pretending it does.

My Samsung TV is not on the WiFi and I have AdGuard running network-wide because of shit like this.

Damn, that explains why I wanna nap whenever I’m bored. I wanna nap during work half the time.

The older I get, the more I appreciate sleep. If your body is telling you to nap, do it. It’s worth it.

It’s just computers all the way down.

I was actually having fun until we were all forced to use AI or fall behind. Now it’s boring as fuck and I’m not even allowed to work part-time? Typical capitalist scam.

That said, I like being an adult with adult money. I wouldn’t go back.

Implying that it’s the only thing that matters is dumb. If you want uncanny valley faces, go for it. I’m not interested in dumb AI permeating yet another corner of my life.

Even if it looked good, it has zero context of the original artists’ intent. This is like having AI summarize pages of a book as you read. You’re now locked a layer away from the original artist’s work and it’s a layer controlled by corpos. No thank you.

The US at the behest of Israel. The US has no strategy or plan for Iran, but Netanyahu has wanted this for 40 years. Subjugating and defeating Iran is a key part of the “Greater Israel” plan. This is Israel puppeteering the US to do its bidding.

100% spot on. They’ve managed to make a bunch of Christian nationalists believe that Israel’s “Greater Israel” plan that Netanyahu himself has wanted for 40 years, is part of their own Christian story. That’s why all of those reports came out about US military leadership telling soldiers that this was some sort of scripted divine war. The US is just Israel now. We funded a terrorist regime, it surpassed us, and now we’ve become a part of it.

It’s an interesting concept and there are tools that achieve it on a local network, but it’s not Folding at Home. It would be a massive security hellscape IMO, and it’s not worth the insane power requirements for what folks are doing with it. You’d be hard pressed to find people that would be willing to lend power, bandwidth, and hardware to that, especially when it doesn’t have a meaningful focused purpose.

Are you training those models? Because that requires hardware that is probably $10-12k minimum. Every single LLM self-hosting story I’ve heard is someone using a tiny purpose-driven model that can do only 1 or 2 things. If you want Claude or ChatGPT level of knowledge, you’re running hardware that costs $10k+ minimum. I’ve been in tech 20 years and I don’t even own a single piece of hardware that will run any model well. Even my M3 MBA absolutely chokes on qwen for example.

If you want pre-trained models like Llama, Mistral, or Gemma, you’re circling back to corporate lock-in from Meta, former Meta employees, or Google. Suddenly it’s not open source anymore.

Also, training models requires expensive hardware. So now you have a bunch of folks that can run LLMs on their system, but over time those models need to keep learning. The hardware requirements for training are far more intense. It’s cost-prohibitive across the board. That’s when you have people waiting for some angel with the hardware to get the models up to speed, and that’s often times some corporate entity (the one that shaved off a smidge for open source and is now putting the leash around your neck). Zero of this is sustainable. AI never gets cheaper.

No, it was Israel. They can use this as cover. Now suddenly OpenAI and Claude are at fault. Oops! Israel excels at bombing civilian targets and schools. Biggest bunch of fucking cowards I’ve ever seen.

I revamped my 3ds recently and loaded that thing up! I’ll never part with this thing. I can also play MK online via Pretendo Network.

Proton handed over the info to the Swiss government under a specific law. The Swiss government then turned around and readily handed over that info to the FBI without telling Proton that’s what was going to happen.

It doesn’t make anyone innocent here. Just adding that for clarity because this headline I keep seeing is not correct.

Yeah, I used to manage a colocated Apache server back in the mid 2000s.

The AI bubble is getting ready to burst.

The desperation here lmao

As part of its strategy, Oracle has begun requiring clients to help build infrastructure, per the CIO report, citing TD Cowen. This effectively translates to asking clients to shoulder part of the cost, according to the investment bank.

Goatslé

Jesus am I glad more people in general are waking up to how terrible Israel is. I’m hearing even the most mainstream liberal folks being critical of them now.
