- infinite_spin 6mo agoFrom things like defense/private contracts e.g. colleges pay for institutional subscriptions
- 2ndorderthought 6mo agoThe average person doesn't benefit from defense contracts ... Like ever.
- IX-103 6mo agoThe average person is slightly more female than male and has 2.1 children, but they do benefit from defense contracts since it makes up a small percentage of their salary.

- derektank 6mo agoPerhaps it’s a glib and easy thing to say, but after a teaser period, I would simply not offer free LLM inference. Agreeing to serve ads just completely re-aligns your interests away from providing the best possible user experience to something else entirely.
