Give it a couple more years. 80k by yourself is doable but not for much longer. The city can’t manage their budget and the taxes are making all housing untennable. Doesn’t matter if you own or rent. A place that ran $1200/mo back in 2020 goes for $3500-4000/mo right now.

git diff is all I care about when the robot is done doing its thing. Whatever it says in chat is mostly irrelevant to me because they all write in a way that is not very helpful. I can’t really describe it but something about the structure they all use by default really drives me nuts and I’ve opted to not bother with it.

Just don’t run directly. Use containers and VMs. Anyone running this stuff directly on their PC at this point in time shouldn’t be surprised. These companies don’t care about security, just your wallet. And we’ve seen how wallet theory goes, people still keep buying.

The US is massive with different income requirements depending on location. If you’re in San Francisco with $80k, you’re poor. If you’re in San Antonio, TX that is roughly middle class earnings and doable solo. With inflation though, it’s not tenable for much longer anywhere.

Just what I’m sure everyone wanted. More Google profiling for selling products and data and AI training. Some of us are not fans. I’m definitely not and have opted to clone discord in a way that makes this hard. It’s live already too, openarcanum.org

Such a downer song. Nothing to fret about fellow human. There's plenty left for us to do. Keep your eyes open. Your head to the ground. We have a tool that can do what none of these companies can imagine coming. The future is decentralization. There's a lot to break apart.

So grandma just trying to do her taxes doesn’t matter anymore, huh?

And when you’re dumb enough to trust a giant corporation, and this happens to you, we shouldn’t care about you either, right?

You're wrong on legislating these things. If the ad network is forced into KYC for their ad distributions and they are excluded from safe harbor, like a TV network would be, then I guarantee those ads cease to exist.

This mentality of "it's to hard" doesn't get things done.

I do agree that some greedy lawyers and civil liability would solve this, but that's not a long term solution at all.

Idiocracy continues to be a prophecy for sure. Idk about Terminator though, that's not what I'm concerned about at all. The first time I get triaged to an LLM over a doctor, I know society is cooked.

I will continue to reiterate. DO NOT ALLOW UNALIGNED AI TO HAVE ANYTHING CLOSE TO INTERNET ACCESS. Seriously people, it's negligent.

You are failing to answer the question. What's your point? I pose a question, I present what can be said, which sure I did say it in that comment to point at the extremes, but the question remains unanswered. What do you want of me? and now we have what's your point?

If you make this work in a gig (could imagine using it as a DJ), you should post it.
