Oh NV Surround, how we miss thee

What a strawman

Something that can be done by agents in a chat room easily

Senior citizens are the most vulnerable

They would have to get past their own psychosis first.

It’s a great time to be a programmer indeed, just not employed.

Sadly, most of America is stupid enough to go along with this.

Exactly, this is all so they can continue with their S1 and they can dump shares onto the hedge funds.

HF guys, especially those under Julien Chaumond, are fantastic and will use whatever they can to address their issues. Open or closed but they are firmly on the Open side of the fence. However, their storage and model service is about as sticky as you can get so they are in a different position. They don’t have to sell capability, they sell capacity and community.

This. Copyright is a flawed system. There can be alternatives that allow more than 1 player to play and not create monopolies.

For example. I invent a new method of power washing. I start a power washing business using new tech. I file the tech for patent and copyright-equivalent use. This is then made available to other power wash companies that wish to use the tech and be certified in it so long as a small portion of their revenue goes back to the inventor for a set amount per volume, or something similar of a metric that has a cutoff after a point.

This will breed new industries, create new jobs, introduce new innovations, and allow the markets to move on from being strangled by one giant corporation.

$1.5B for a company that is valued at $1T+…

I mostly agree with you. There are a few exceptions of some CEOs I have met that just truly understand the industry they are in. Like rain main counting toothpicks, they just know their space so well that they can anticipate where their market is going. The ratio of these types vs the “normies” is about 3:4000 though.

“It wasn’t me, it was my agent” is not a defense unless you have billions of dollars.

That’s the play. That these frontier models are so powerful that they must be behind sovereign firewalls and gateways.

This is the kind of agent I want to see. Board rooms and executive management need to be just as scared as the rest of us.

I think you need to research US foreign policy. They are literally trying to do that with Iran. They helped Israel do it to the Palestinians. Not to take away from the Ukraine atrocities but US is just as bad as Russia.

Make no mistake, western search is censored probably more so than eastern search.

*EDIT* All you need to do is look at how DMCA is handled… TikTok… Instagram… Facebook… Google…

I beg to differ, there absolutely was cookie popups. We also had popup windows, popup ads, java applets that melted your cpu, and browsers with no grid. Oh, and we had Shockwave and Flash…

Should have compared against FLUX Klein and Z-Image Turbo...

Crysis was the first, if you remember it. It changed FPS’ forever, introduced some new open world mechanics, as well as being the first game to utilize SSAO.

one, the article is 14 years old. two, the point of ambient occlusion was not about making geometry look good, it was about making lighting look good.

The main issue it solved was normal lighting at odds with the world, it was for fast general approximation of global illumination.

You should hard refresh and try again as this issue only pertains to you

Yes, they do, and you should look into how team drivers are paid. It’s not a good deal.

So again, team driving is not ideal for the worker, only the mega carrier. You’ll make less as a team driver than a solo driver.

And split the revenue? No way Jose. Team driving is not preferred.

Because US Leadership is inept. Have been since the 50s.

You hit the nail on the head. It's a race to the bottom.

How about E) All of the above?

Every executive team is under AI hypnosis.

Just look at Labubu's.

Anthropic released Claude in March 2023. Claude Code was released in February 2025. I'd say Claude Code had about as much impact as Visicalc.
