Yes. Totally. Will a taxi driver call the police to let them know where I was if I am a journalist on my way to meet a source? Networked cameras with ai monitoring is begging for totalitarian oppression. A cabby calling the cops because I d

Assuming it’s all going to be vibe coded garbage, yeah it will be much more complex. Like a toddler writing a symphony.

I’m not worried about the lack of reserve, i’m worried about the money shell game where private companies can drive inflation or deflation whichever serves their profit margins best. The 2008 global financial crisis was a result of this, so

You seem to have missed the point. A recording is one thing. A networked camera being ai-monitored in realtime is another. Your uber driver is using the video to protect their in-app reputation (also dystopian, but unrelated), and in case a

Yes. And the use of cameras has traditionally been: if something happens, there is a record that can be consulted. That has changed. Networked cameras and AI means that cameras can be constantly monitored: license plates logged and mapped i

Taxis are a part of transportation infrastructure. Like a system that allows public and private healthcare, a private option pulls the rich people off the public system causing them to neglect and vote against the public system. So waymos m

OpenAI dropped sora because it was costing them ridiculous amounts of money and earning them very little. They determined that the market can't support the cost of generating video. Without a material change in the market (more buyers,

Compute has already lost value for me. Six months ago I thought you needed a 1T+ model to be useful coding. Now I am able to get by just fine with a 27b model. I see two factors converging to cause a collapse of this house of cards: 1. Peop

How does it not make sense? Like take politics out of it for a sec. You own a bar. There’s one customer who comes in every night and drinks five shots and then sucker-punches a random other person in the bar. Sure, you’re not violently assa

Sounds like they did. IMO, building your business on anything but open-weight models is a bad idea. Unless you're on the s&p 500 you are an insect to google, anthropic, grok (ew), and openai - and they could crush you at any time w

And what percentage of finland does UPM employ? The four planned data centers involved in this deal, after construction, will likely employ less than 1000 people.

I can see that I’m not going to convince you there is a scale and centralization difference here, but maybe you can vibe with the economic difference? Paper mills and manufacturing employs a lot of people. Data centers, once they are built,

Including people who are violently un-inclusive is just being violently un-inclusive with an extra step. Like, there are a lot of world views and opinions that can be included without damaging the space, but nazism is very clearly not one o

The same could be said about your comment. A take you disagree with can be scrolled past, no need to disagree with it vocally. Yet you did. Because you have an opinion and you felt compelled to share it with others. Anyway, I am currently u

Did any one factory in those industries (paper and high end manufacturing) use 50% of the output of a nuclear power plant?

by kennywinker 1mo ago
If a community's usage is say 60% of what a plant can produce, and $TECH_GIANT comes and buys the other 40%, what happens next? Power prices will go up, since any growth will exceed the available power generation capacity. Power will b

Intuitively I agree with you, but you've cited evidence that doesn't actually prove what you said. Yes, openrouter users choose cheaper open weights. If you're on openrouter, you're already shopping around. We'd nee

Except absolute numbers are meaningless. You need to know driving hours or miles to know the scale. E.g. deaths per 100,000mi or deaths per 100,000hrs.

Yeah 16gb. For longer context, a 3bit quant is needed. Yes it’s tight on a 16gb card - can’t wait for the bubble to pop so hardware prices fall. But I don’t quite follow you - how does a more aggressive quant slow it down? Less bits per tok
