IMO, when Google lost most public support, it really started going downhill because the people who wanted to profit the business as much as possible became more determinant than those that were still trying to throttle the company due to ethical considerations. When a company gets criticized for everything it does, its decline increases significantly. Add to that it exists under the US government and how that has completely fallen to corruption.

At least there’s no way they won’t turn AI against each other and extinction themselves in the process.

Keep it contained in a VM, best hazardous containment.

3090s weren’t burning up, though.

Pretty wise, that’s the generation before the 12HVPWR connectors started burning up.

Oh totes. NVIDIA continuing to lie even more blatantly to their face, driver bricking issues on updates, missing GPU ROPS performance, even more burn problems with a connector they knew continued to be problematic and lied about it, they and their retail partners releasing very limited inventory and then serving internal scalping while also being increasingly hostile to the rest of their consumers, ray tracing performance improvements they have to exclusive push in certain games and the newest most expensive hardware to actually get any benefit from their cards, false MSRP pricing and no recourse for long time loyal customers except a lottery in the US while the rest of the regions get screwed. Totes just that it’s “too expensive”, because when have gamers ever splurged on their hobby?

Jokes on you, YouTube, my Chinese phone rolls their ads over yours!

Good times create weak men who think those good times came out of nothing and want an easy excuse on why they are being deprived of something they thing they are naturally entitled to. This excuse usually ends up being believing those who the good men who created those good times fought against.

What’s wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

No time like the present to begin creating a European alternative, given the geopolitics of the times.

These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.

Some people even suggest typing a longer password over a simpler one with more special characters. It’s harder to brute force.

It seemed to tangent off so I had to circle back around.

If people need to be warned that they might be scammed by someone with an Indian voice asking them for gift cards, I think that they should be reclassified as AI mounts instead of people at that point.

People do become more senile as they get older, but they need to recognize it as well as prepare ahead of it in time. Who knows, maybe being an AI pet mount then wouldn’t be so bad, as long as it was with an offline localized LLM-like AI vetted openly and widely, not the transparent excuse for abuse this is.

There’s a reason the American revolution wasn’t just a group of people known for just peacefully protesting and criticizing until a new king rolled over.

The bigger problem is that politics today isn’t BS association to what “left” is versus BS association to what “right” is, it’s becoming those that are willing to work within a system versus those that are just willing to exploit it. Trying to map out left and right is a concept so absurd no amount of coordinate systems is going to make people across language barriers and international barriers agree on how you label them.

Reasonable people that disagree are going to have more disagreements than an echo chamber masking a defrauding scheme that is open to be bought by the highest bidders.

Fun fact, I once alluded to this on reddit’s worldnews and they associated me with Hitler because apparently trying to say there is more than one dimension is trying to whitewash Nazism.

Troll factories can get defensive, don’t touch what they work with.

I am used to listening to streams while walking, but I’ve been noticing the most annoying ads pop-up when I’m interested in something they are saying. This isn’t going to make me pay attention to those ads, it’s going to drive me to the plethora of other services I can use. The worst thing about it is that it doesn’t even pause and cache the stream, meaning that if I was listening to something interesting, the ad just causes me to miss it. Google just keeps eating its own tail.

If you see Netflix as part of a bundle, get the bundle without it. You having no choice to get out of the subscription is feeding into this.

What I can’t get around with is people expecting AI that was developed by not respecting IP rights to suddenly begin respecting their presumed IP rights (not that most are not just accepting them away through the associated EULAs) with what they generate using them.
