That’s the point when your target knows it’s a trap and goes for it anyway.

It can use treated waste water, so it’s not that specialized.

FWIW, I gave YaCy a try a while back, and I agree with the article on that one. Shit tier results that make ancient AltaVista look good. Might be fine for intranet search. I like the idea of its distributed hosting, but pass on this one.

Other poster mentioned SearXNG, and while I haven’t delved into that too much, it’s probably worth a check. Pass on YaCy.

It’s a great cover story until he meets someone at a party who loves that shit.

Not sure what they need to do more of. Another poster mentioned their datacenter CPU, and there’s plans for a desktop chip. It’s not obvious yet that traditional Windows PC customers are going to accept ARM, though I hope they do.

Power usage is what’s sucking the cash. What else could it be? Not all of these companies are building out lots of datacenters the way OpenAI is. They built what they have, and are now trying to make money on it.

The companies that are charging for AI are charging about as much as buyers are willing to pay, but it’s orders of magnitude too small to cover their costs. The big cost is power usage.

You know that technology doesn’t actually get better by default, right? It reaches plateaus. Some things are just dead ends.

Have you bought any bubble memory recently?

Except none of these companies are making money. Like almost literally none. We’re about three years into the LLM craze, and nobody has figured out how to turn a profit. Hell, forget profit, not bleeding through prodigious piles of cash would be a big deal.

What AI companies are profitable? Besides the one selling shovels in a gold rush.

They already have ARM development spun up.

Really? Companies are going to keep building datacenters that need entire nuclear reactors to themselves without any of that converting into revenue? This is going to keep going forever in your mind?

From now on, you will only be pregnant.

If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would “financially ruin” the entire AI industry.

Journalists need to stop this shit. Yes, it would financially ruin them. It’d ruin them the same way drug dealers would be financially ruined if you confiscated their drugs.

Honestly, no. US infrastructure for this stuff is scaffolding, at best.

Just to address the idea of a general strike, you pretty much have to get sustained protests going first. More specifically, they have to encourage people from different backgrounds to work together outside of capitalist structures.

I forget the exact example, but I think it was the 1934 San Fransisco general strike. Whole city shut down, including restaurants. One problem was that there were a lot of young men who worked in the factories and lived in small apartments with no kitchens at all. They went to the general strike committee and made it known that they rely on the restaurants for their daily meals. The committee understood and had some restaurants approved for opening along with delivery trucks so they could operate. Problem solved.

Point is that you need organization around that sort of thing where even marginal groups can have their problems heard. Without getting people into organized groups, it’s going to fail. If nobody listened to those young men and did something, then they would have had the choice of starving or crossing the picket line.

Protests must be more sustained instead of the bursts of activity we’ve seen. Even direct action will fail if it’s not combined with large scale protest methods. Unfortunately, people get worn down doing constant protesting.

Trump won’t be around in another 10 years one way or another. It’s rare to find cults of personality that outlive their leader. But if we use Nazi Germany as an example of what happens next, it’s basically a return to liberalism. Half the country went to that almost immediately, and the other half just took longer. Granted, Germany has a better social safety net than America does now, but it’s hardly anti-capitalist.

TBH, I don’t have a good answer. I’m mostly doing the anarchist thing of using social groups to get people to rely less on capitalism and more on each other. That’s more of a long term thing, though.

I directly asked my wife about this beforehand, and they’re skeptical, as well.

Accelerationism like that never works. When it all settles, you get extremely mild improvements for a whole lot of hurt.

Sounds like a definition of success to me, go with it.

Haven’t innovated? 3D chip stacking?

CPU companies generally don’t change their micro-architecture, especially when it works.
