Git was started by Linus but he doesn’t run GitHub

compare that to the cost of running the DeepSeek model on comparable hardware (because it is open weight).

What?

You can’t compare the cost of running a model at home to the cost of running a model operationally as a business.

Or at least nobody should take that comparison seriously.

If OpenAI/Anthropic are selling at a loss

Why the If, we know they are running at huge losses.

Honestly this level of poster analysis is why clankers are able to impress people, everyone has just accepted full bullshit all of the time and nobody is willing to admit the unknowns are significant and the numbers we are being presented are largely unverified/unverifiable!

I’d be ok with age verification if it can be done in an anonyomous way

People lost their shit over a local API with an easily fake-able age bracket.

The problem with hyperventilating over everything, is that there is no benefit to even trying to write reasonable laws as they get painted dishonestly anyway.

Sure but comparing what companies in an industry full of losers make, is pretty meaningless as we don’t know how much companies are losing right now.

Firstly governments should stop blocking immigration then.

Secondly billionaires have gotten richer globally and you can only get richer if you are making others poorer wether it’s directly or by printing money.

This doesn’t mean much they could just be losing 50% more money than their competitors.

TBH We’ll end up with slop cars because capitalism kills innovation not because of AI.

Management are pushing sysadmins to use AI, yet AI tools permissions models are worse than useless.

If this were true, we’d see a lot more animation, the reality is actors are important to the creative process otherwise and the director having to micromanage ai (or let it just produce averages) is only good for producing slop (which admittedly is a lot of what Netflix puts out).

Sorry but your big titted ai GF pretending to love you isn’t art

It’s it easy to generate fake fingerprints though?

Lol, LMAO in fact

Is there a meaningful difference?

OpenAI Anthropic: Be scared we have developed AGI

Also OpenAI Anthropic: our permissions model is dogshit, we just wildcard match strings

They did and they got the tarrifs refunded.

The issue is that with markets nothing is tightly coupled.

Also what happens when the companies are forced to eat part of the tarrif, if the tarrif is 15, but that pushes the prices above the maximum profit point (units sold * per unit profit) then how much tarrif back should the customer get?

All pricing under capitalism is based on uncertainty.

What the market will bare isn’t a known thing.

Side-note: this is why YIMBYs are dumb as fuck when they apply econ101 to rents.

The companies paid the tarrif, they get the refund.

The fact that tariffs allowed some companies to demand more money, is related but not causal, some companies will have had to eat shit because the market wouldn’t bare the increase.

I’d love for the lawsuit to succeed and it set the precedent that when governments issue refunds they can force companies to pass it on to the customer, but I think it’s unlikely.

It’s also complicated by the way pricing works.

If the tarrif is for $15 but the uncertainty allowed a company to increase prices by $20, how much should the customer be refunded?

And what if the tarrif was $15 but the market only allowed a $10 increase and the company ate shit on the other $5?

Now what if none of these numbers are set in stone and all of the numbers are guesswork? Should the government audit all companies that changed their prices?

What vission did Gates have beyond using money to crush competition? Being a pedophile?

That doesn’t work in reality, as evidenced here, it’s far more likely people compromise their security for convenience than the other way around.

Also sometimes opsec requires in get messages from certain chats quickly. Knowing where ICE are in a timely manner is important.
