There are a massive number of people who want the ends of programming and geekery but lacked the means. They are overjoyed that they can abrogate the means and enjoy the reflected light of achievement, especially if it cheapens the part the

Oh the Trump DOGE losers cut funding for the monitoring program, and it’s already showing up, despite being successfully managed for decades. Basically shocking levels of incompetence; start an unpopular war, lowest approval ratings of any

Our current government can't even monitor for screwworm, measles, and salads. You think they can successfully track the smartest and most individually dangerous citizens, who have been previously vetted, and work inside the system alre

Let me know if it gets smart enough for Anthropic to fire all its researchers and replace them with it's own "intelligent agents". Then I'll believe it. Maybe.

Didn’t Obama and Biden both deport more people than Trump has? It didn’t require ICE to become some kind of militarized police force, and there was no question they got a day in court, and nobody was exiled to a different country that than

What opinion, precisely, was anodyne in 2010 and is now far right/fascist/genocide?

Looking forward to some Chinese model kicking the shit out of it and being released for free.

Is this satire? Please, lord Jesus, let this be satire.

You pointed out correctly that house prices are bounded by incomes, then immediately made the same mistake with AI - someone has to want to pay for this stuff. It also has to compete against free models, which are not only almost as good, b

I want the model running wherever electricity and infra is cheapest, which will likely be China; if that gets geopolitically hot, eh, suddenly a “nearby” data center will open run by “individuals” with “no connections”, magically - it will

I’ve found the “freedom of speech” crowd understands freedom the least; notably, that rights come with responsibilities. They want the rights, none of the responsibilities, and to be arbiters of the rights of others (again, they really don’

It’s the genocide they’re committing that people take issue with, not their will to live.

Oh they absolutely are valid, though! We've seen them ignore permitting for generators, use incredible amounts of water and raise all our power bills, steal books and movies for training - and for what? Subscription AI isn't going

Sure, NPR went over this: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/10/nx-s1-5844328/us-china-data-c... —- quote section below Linvill said he can't rule out that the Chinese are quietly paying influencers or oth

I’m not buying the “AI security threat”, and I don’t really care if the best models are open source - and Chinese. If everyone can buy enough hardware to run the best models, what’s the threat? The same tired arguments as banning books on e

I like how the “Chinese propaganda” against datacenters was found to be mostly a collection of facts. While Russian propaganda is more clumsy and emotional, we’ve produced such an unequal society with such low regular education and outright

China imports food and has stressed or extremely stressed fresh water reserves. You take out the method they keep alive hundreds of millions of citizens, you think they won’t launch a nuke? Although for all the strategic thinking we’ve seen

I'd buy and run an open Chinese model before I ever paid for monthly access to any of these AI assholes.

Banning Chinese open source AI is “quick war with Iran” levels of strategic thinking.

Even the "eco terrorist suburban Jihadi" grindset is trying to sell you a course. As time progresses, I am increasingly convinced the internet was a mistake.

Remember: people used to say playing Chess was “AI”. There were dedicated Chess chips, and it was a massive AI undertaking. We’re treating LLMs like we have every other tool. It’s going to become like spellcheck eventually, not something yo

I think optimizing for the stock market is what's leading to political instability and making our country a worse place to live; I think it would be great if we threw a wrench into it (although admittedly, any thrown wrench would be sm

This is more an age thing, and it's fixed by experience. Which is why there's such a focus on youth - who else can you get to sacrifice themselves with the whisper promise that it will make them rich, who else is easily goaded wit

Counterpoint - this just indicates how screwed up things are. If you’re saying this as a positive thing, it isn’t. Most people don’t want to compete with the global 1% - to import students from the Stanford of every country. Having policies

If we believe the people selling AI, keeping up your skills at code is like keeping your expertise at wooden wheel making during the time of the automobile. We have to ask ourselves if they’re right or not. I think they’re wrong, but also t

These are the same people that sent manufacturing jobs away to be copied elsewhere. They got rewarded for it in the market. Decades later, when it was clearly a problem, they got tax breaks to bring some of it back/distribute the work
