Well, we have this whole organization that's supposed to prevent genocides. It obviously doesn't work. Let's be real.

Look, don't die on a hill for billionaires. I think it's good if someone gets a Hollywood movie or Disney TV show for free. But it's better to support that one author who self-published a useful book.

And "troll farms" is such a boring response, in any context.

A guy abducts a president of a sovereign state and puts him into New York prison without any legal basis. The whole country is complicit by allowing this to happen. Yet all you can think is Putin.

I barely even noticed it happened.

I agree that SO became very hostile at some point. But I also moderated a bit around 2014-2019 and the vast majority of questions in my field were very low effort. People would just dump their code with no context and ask why it doesn't work.

So, the place was a shit hole.

I find their products confusing as usual. Does Antigravity sub work same as $20 Codex? Are the limits somewhat similar to ChatGPT and Claude?

It creates inequality. For some reason we accept that following a morality framework based on a bunch of presuppositions puts you in a special box (well, I don't accept it). Like, why am I forced to be sent to a meat grinder and kill people? Just because I'm not ultra orthodox something?

I didn't make myself clear. I'm against the concept of asking for exception from something based on your religious beliefs. I didn't mean that you can ask for virtually anything.

I'm just trying to understand what the particular uses people have for them.

My raw data alone is terabytes, and it takes hundreds of GB sometimes to run very simple analyses. So there's no way I can have a local AI orchestrating the analyses locally.

But I realize some people have different kinds of data. So I'm interested to hear how exactly people use local models.

The point where it'd make sense for me is if someone makes a compact machine with 512 of unified memory in a couple of years and it costs less than a down payment for a house...

I have a limited understanding of local LLMs, but from what I gather 128GB is not enough to match DeepSeek v4 Flash or GPT 6.1 Luna. And these models are so cheap right now. What's the use case besides having your data locally?

The problem is that you can get any kind of exemption based on religious beliefs.

> We envisioned a utopia which would lead to everyone having equal access to information, communication, market access, and general prosperity.

I'm curious how you think general prosperity can be achieved by the things you mention. Like, lay it out.

> Most people here probably have around $5-10M in assets given we’re mostly in tech

Some European making 3k/month net probably wept reading this.

> People taking the shortcut to build new games - and for what purpose, I wonder?

It's a trend that started before the AI. Games went from niche to mass market. There're billions of devices - and potential customers. Mobile game publishers haven't been trying to make a "memorable" game for over a decade. It's all about A/B tests, retention, lifetime revenue, etc.

The same is true for many desktop studios. The recent Wolverine debacle is a prime example. Studios are making generic, "safe" games.

In summary, I think it's an industry problem that predates AI. The only difference between now and five years ago is that you don't have to rely on cheap human labor all that much to create a clone of a clone of a clone.
