It's not going to get worse than now though. Open models like GLM 5 are very good. Even if companies decide to crank up the costs, the current open models will still be available. They will likely get cheaper to run over time as well (

Opus 4.6 costs about 5-10x of GLM 5.

Shouldn't it be 3 or 5? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46603111 Are two heads better than one? The post explains why an even number doesn't improve decision-making. Would that still be relevant here?

One of the problems with open access to these government DBs is that it gives out a lot of information that spammers and scammers use. Eg if you create a business then that email address/phone number is going to get phished and spammed

Why aren't we in the year of the Linux desktop? It's free and arguably close enough, better, or as good as Windows. I think in the modern world people would absolutely sell the special shovel, because even if you have a better pro

The important point is why AI generated works aren't given copyright protection - it's because the human isn't considered to be the author. This is what the copyright office said about the comic with AI generated images: &g

I think Google's downfall in a product can easily come from UX. Take livestreaming: YouTube is better on a technical level: * Higher bitrate * Ability to rewind * Able to edit recordings (thumbnails, cutting out dead air etc) * Much la

And you can run quantized versions on old hardware! Like 10 year old hardware. You might only get 3 tokens/sec, but it works.

The availability of credit is a positive imo. Sure, it's possible to trap yourself in debt, but being able to pull that lever in an emergency is valuable. Imo US is better on this front than Europe.

A mayor or governor can't change these things though. That's part of the problem since I'm in the EU. It's irrelevant what representatives in my country want because they're too small of a minority. But even among t

There are no helpful representatives is the problem. It doesn't matter who you vote for, because they're all just varying degrees of bad. There isn't a single politician I could vote for that could improve this situation. Eve

Why would AI companies support change now? They've already been fined. Now it's too late, because now it's in their best interests to be against it. The time for change was before, but then everyone became a staunch copyright
