The problem seems more to be that every last one of these companies are burning through cash at an astonishing rate. No one, least of all Google, is making a profit from AI. They keep dangling AGI in front of investors even though no one can really define what it is.

Companies like Uber and Amazon operated at a loss, true. But they had an actual product. And they didn't come close to the money Google, Meta, OpenAI and Microsoft are losing.

If I remember correctly, the side holding people in concentration camps and shooting children in their heads weren't the good guys. It's not surprising that someone like you is making themselves the hero for supporting genocide though.

The things people are willing to publish.

The "Hamas is the elected government therefore women and children deserve to die" is Israeli propaganda.

It was a single election 20 years ago for a party running on change, not what Hamas stands for now. It was a protest vote. Palestinians have been experiencing genocide for decades.

Your seething hate for brown people is apart though. I'm glad you're willing to share it for the world to see.

It's a neat little trick to just say any child you shoot in the head is Hamas. Or any women a children you starve was actually Hamas. Or every hospital you blow up was because Hamas was hiding in there. Or just pretend that October 2023 was the start of the conflict ignoring the decades of death, apartheid, and brutality preceding it.

I'm just glad people like you are willing to publish stuff like this to the internet so we can look back and understand why genocides are allowed to happen.

Hey there thank you for taking the time to respond. I have a few questions:

The sign up process is surprisingly difficult and doesn't appear to be working.

The CAPTCHA is VERY thorough. I couldn't seem to get it to agree that I was human. When I finally solved it, the submit button is hidden (you have to scroll for some reason).

When I enter my phone number it prompts me to enter a code that never arrived. When I click "I didn't receive a code" the app sends me back to the CAPTCHA (lol). I complete the captcha again and request the code.

I went through this process three or four times before I gave up. This seems like an ongoing issue[1]

Does the app have many users? Any users?

The last blog post on the NewNode site was July of last year.

According to the App Store there has been three minor updates- 3, 9 and 12 months ago. No notes on the updates.

Does NewNode have a road map?

I couldn't find any write ups about the app anywhere. No press coverage.

So, why did FireChat close down?

Edit: I just completed 10 CAPTCHAs in a row.

Mozilla is very invested in the success of Threads-to-Mastodon so I'm sure they'll allow federation.
