Wow, Kimmel getting canceled wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

They say during the gold rush, the people selling shovels made more money than the miners themselves. AI has a similar pattern. Those profiting from AI hype it relentlessly. Meanwhile the butthurts with nothing to sell become the loudest critics, just to stay relevant.

We get it guys. AI sucks and you don't like it. You need not turn yourself into a parrot. Nobody's in the market for your outrage.

Everything is wrapper copper, iron, salt, and water

I think Signal is the safest choice. If you want to be absolutely sure, host your own service, and hope you know how to make it have airtight security.

Hey now, some of those things are actually useful.

A lot of people failed to see Hitler’s point of view as well. That didn’t stop the trains though.

One can never tell what twisted logic they’re using to justify their actions.

What’s new with OpenWrt?

But I had a two hour conversation with ChatGPT and we couldn’t come up any scenario where I didn’t end up winning.

They have one goal: $$

Haven’t we learned that ethics are subjective.

A house built on weak foundation is bound to fall, or at least tilt.

Have you considered that maybe the outrage is about what the research results contain?

Social media algorithms are tuned to maximize engagements and this is easily done by keeping the user happy. This creates echo chambers and ends up polarizing users. Not everyone gets polarized but a vast majority of users become victims of confirmation bias, which leads to an increasingly fragmented and divisive society. Am I wrong?

That may be true for independent devs or startups. Larger companies have enough demand to justify a few A/H100s.

If developers and enterprises can host their own OSS/fine-tuned models, why will they pay Anthropic or OpenAI?

I'm not sure "failed" is quite the right word. There are plenty of forums still thriving in specific niches. But yeah, they definitely lost their position as the dominant form of online community.

Could fragmentation be the reason? In forums, every topic has its own little island with separate accounts, different sites/rules/interfaces. Compare that to just posting in a subreddit or Facebook group where you're already logged in. Switching websites requires mental work that social media doesn't.
