Also OpenAI somehow having 44% of the world’s population as its customer base is a plainly absurd goal and will never happen, not in 5 years

Then why do they constantly need more and more funding from VC and Google and MS and NVIDIA? Why is it all circular dealing? Why aren’t there smaller AI startups running these smaller, “profitable” models?

Then why haven't they reported any profits using GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)? They all use ARR which is easily gamed.

If it's profitable, why haven't they reported any profits? People like Ed Zitron have done the math and it just doesn't add up. I mean he just published this piece today: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-too-

You never needed a crew of people to make videos. This is just outsourcing people's creativity.

That sounds like absolute hell

Anyways, I find that my $10/mo subscription to Kagi has been well worth not having to deal with Google's BS. (And they do offer AI if you want but they don't push it on you.)

Gen AI is unprofitable, especially at the insanely cheap rates they've been offering to get people in the door. So expect more increases in the future.

Are the little intro videos for the presenters AI generated? Really depressing compared to the cool intros Apple manages to make without AI.

Yeah I mean Big Tech are using a lot of it because they're training models and shoving AI into everything. But if they weren't forcing it upon people, would that same demand be there?

Do you use an adblocker? Google also added a "Web" filter that removes all the AI slop and you can create a link to it: https://udm14.com/

How would unoptimized slop code be good for older hardware? That's what Linux and other projects are for. If you wanted to tinker and learn how operating systems work, you'd code one yourself like I did in CS classes. You'd a

"AI Mode" usage is up month over month. Almost like because they forced it upon everyone. Once again, is there any real AI demand?

Why would I want to vibe code a "fully functional operating system"?
75.
by LetsGetTechnicl 5mo ago
Part of it being a bad idea imo is just that it's wasteful to vibe code something that already exists and works well. But I guess that's my attitude to a lot of this AI hype.

Vibecoding a password manager might be the worst idea ever. You'd be better off with an encrypted Excel sheet. But otherwise, 1Password is great imo and there are other free open source password managers.

What are you looking for them to be able to do? I feel like everything these days is just some form of an iPad

I can't believe we're so beyond parody at this point. Also, instant game over from trying to hold Melania's hand lol

I wish they'd bring those back so simple and easy to set up. Could use some more functionality like VPN's and such but otherwise a great product line-up. Now it seems every AP looks like an alien spacecraft.

Some of these are like "Find My Friends" which is still a thing, but like the website mentions, was just folded into the Find My app. It's not like Google killing popular services like Reader or trying and failing to get anot

It's definitely the fault of the operator. But also how many times has an AI deleted or modified files it was told not to touch? (and then lied about doing so? How have they not solved this permissions problem? If the AI is operating o

Well seeing as they don't KNOW anything this isn't surprising at all
