Depending on how much is “too much power”, people might still want to purchase them at a discount for self-hosting purposes. The future is most likely to go through a decentralization of AI services, with spme higher efficiency large providers, combined with lower efficiency edge nodes for less demanding usage… at least, until the next order of magnitude technological shift.

Counter proposal: dynamic tactile buttons.

The tech already existed in 2013, just develop it further.

Check the history of ReCaptcha: it started by helping digitize booksxfir the Gutenberg Project, then once it got acquired by Google, it switched to house numbers, street signs (auto driving?), and is now helping with object identification.

Strictly speaking, math gets proven from scratch by every math student. Software is slightly different, since most of it never gets a formal proof at all.

Me. Tiny strong magnets, are good for reasonably strong attraction at short distances. Uses so far:

• Magnetic latches for small parts drawers (2 per drawer, 50 drawers)
• Press-fitting a bunch, into molten plastic holes on the back of a digital thermometer (heat makes them lose strength, so the stronger they start, the better)
• Signal for a hall effect sensor (1 sensor, n magnets)

They should always be securely glued in place, though.

I’ve seen people use thinner ones, inside the lid of a gift box, as a latch. Also as a magnet for a LED throwie.

The problem, is stupidity like this:

Science for Kids: DIY Magnetic LED Lights

Don’t let dumb kids anywhere near them! 🤦

I can answer the “let alone 100” part: they get sold as cubes of 216, 512, 1000 tiny magnet balls, or as packs of 80, 100, 200, etc. tiny magnets.

Why would anyone swallow them… the sale is restricted to 13+ or 18+ in most places, but some (including parents) are unaware of the dangers, and they go for like $2 for 100pcs.

Well… Magnemite

Using a complex GPT-4o prompt, they sought to pull out tweets that focused on “superficial topics”

Wait a moment… They asked an LLM, to tell them what was “junk”, and another LLM, trained on what an LLM marked as junk, turned out to be a junk LLM?

It talks about model collapse, but this smells like research collapse.

The problem comes from people responding to them, in communities that are text-first. You can flag a person as a troll… but unless you ban them, then eventually the discussions spill over.

Overwatch doesn’t have that same issue, because text is not at its core; you can mute people, and keep playing the game. Game-disrupting players though, still get banned.

That would work, if it wasn’t individuals who don’t see others as people. The moment someone dehumanizes others, there are dedicated professional who can babysit them back to sanity.

My bad, Kiwix is on IzzyOnDroid. You’re right, F-Droid itself might have a tougher time.

F-Droid does automated patching already, they often remove “anti-features”. The migration is a PITA, but not the end of the world, Kiwix did that recently (split into Play Store and F-Droid versions).

No matter how much epoxy you put on a broken condom, it’s not going to work. The moment ads get sent via the same encrypted “tunnel”/connection as the service, you can no longer separate them at the network level.

I downloaded Sora.

Not Sora, Sora’s app. Sora is a cloud service.

And if the business model of open AI is advertising

It’s not, it’s to sell AI services to other businesses.

Cuz the business model was supposed to be 40% of people lose their jobs

Was not, it was always to sell AI services to other businesses. Marketing hyperbole… that’s marketing for you.

in that world, maybe maybe it’s worth half a trillion dollars. In that world, maybe Nvidia is worth the entire pharmaceutical industry combined.

The largest breakthrough in AI so far, is precisely its use in the pharmaceutical industry.

But Nvidia is definitely not worth the entire pharmaceutical industry combined

No, it’s worth more.

if the business model is making slop talk worse by putting slop advertisements into it.

It’s not. Not to say there won’t be advertisements, and propaganda, and manipulation… that’s just an extra, not the business model.

I’m scrolling Martin Luther King Jr. going 67. Like, that’s got to be illegal somehow. Like, I’m pretty sure that you can’t just do that.

It was not, is not, and public domain is public domain for a reason.
Asking for something else, is censorship, like what Trump is asking for right now.

The friction matters. How easy it is to do this stuff matters.

Censorship talk again.

And then they put like a little watermark here that’s like extraordinarily easy to crop out. It’s never in the middle. It’s always at the top or the bottom.

Plenty of videos out there with the watermark right in the middle.

They shouldn’t be in charge of the kind of thing that could literally by their own admission destroy humanity.

Hook, line, and sinker. More marketing hype.

Update: I see the issue now.

I don’t see the issue:

1. F-Droid compiles the apps
2. F-Droid publishes the apps
3. F-Droid gets registered
4. F-Droid subclasses app identifiers under its own

…and things go back to normal.

You won’t be able to update an F-Droid app with an Obtainium one, but Android is already warning about those, not allowing automatic updates from mixed sources.

$8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment

Not kWh, it says watts not watt-hours.

Still a silly way to refer to computing power, though.

Ragebait misinformation video.

Funny that it’s criticizing misinformation, while doing it himself 😒

There is a long history of artists "pushing the envelope… by self-deprecating and making “statements” about how ridiculous the market for art is.

You don’t get to shove Dada, a Campbell’s soup can, canned “artist’s shit”, a black square on a canvas, a pile of trash, a shirt on a coat hanger, a self-shredding copy of a graffiti, and thousands of similar examples, all under the same label as the Louvre, illustrators, writers, etc… then magically have people value all artistic work.

There has been continuous, serious, self-damage done to the concept of “art”, and now come the consequences: the general public, thinks the value of art is close to $0, and that’s what they’re willing to pay.

Coincidentally, AI companies allow anyone to get “better than literal shit” art done for $0… so… 🤷

Customer perception of the value of art in general. You don’t get to call it all art, without muddying the perception.
