"i am not sure what you're saying..."

"...but I'm gonna argue against it anyway."

yeah, makes perfect sense to go for a hike through nature whole checking a phone every 3-8 minutes...

the guidance in TFA addresses this

I think it's about convention and adoption - "first taste is free" to get as many ppl as possible accustomed (read: addicted) to using GenAI. Plus most majors are currently releasing open weight models.

...but i suspect few to none will continue releasing free and open models when they start cutting too deeply into token profits.

We'll likely see smaller open models, but few who have the resources to train large, frontier sized models will want to do so for free... maybe China, but they're also a dubious choice for many.

no, it's not. consequences are. and we don't need to hurt people to get accountability.

not really, but the point is to get ppl to think like you do.

because ad hominems are easier for the intellectually lazy.

open weight models are released by the same companies who's revenue would be threatened by open weights - they won't continue to undercut themselves by releases free models once that happens.

your 401k fund is likely to be "in" whether your like it or not

it's also a marketing ploy.

the corporate world is a lot of kayfabe and bullshit. Welcome. :)

why aren't you using your full government name as your handle here on HN?

age verification is a cover for universal internet IDs. you'll never be able to go online and do anything anonymously again.

because the tech industry is at a hole is out of creative ideas. That why ever seen so many hype cycles since the end of zirp - and why the only innovation we're seeing is on ways to squeeze more money out of people. and AI was sold as a salary cutting magical money machine... AKA one more hype to jump on.

except this one a isn't making anyone rich besides Nvidia

graphene will still be a separate OS outside of Motorola's control.

GrapheneOS team is helping Motorola build secure phones to spec. but Motorola won't have some special bloated flavor of GrapheneOS installed

another wall of slop

I'm beginning to get the sense that Sturgeon's Law is at play here and the non-crap 10% of us are arguing with the 90% for whom LLM's shitty output is actually better than what they could do on their own.

I've been lucky enough to work at places with majority intelligent engineers with similar tastes on quality to my own... but it seems to be that's not the norm or the case everywhere.

and it's the 90% that's most vocal. Sturgeon and D-K seen to go hand-in-hand.

what a naive position... "if a jail is properly run"

no cage can ever be a healthy environment.

why is it that you give a pass to the violence and death in the dozens, hundreds, thousands and millions at the hands of billionaires who regularly kill for profit...

yet balk at someone deciding to fight back in kind and on an exponentially smaller scale, comparatively speaking?

capital only cares about whoever has enough money to spend...

the amount of thoughtless glazing is harrowing.

The West steals $10-$12 Trillion/yr in embodied raw material equivalents, embodied land, embodied energy, and embodied labour:

The economic growth and so-called advanced economies (think Germany, The U.S, Japan, etc. What's been referred to as the “Global North”) relies by a large proportion on a significant net appropriation of resources and labor from the “Global South” (think Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, etc). This appropriation reaches astronomical levels. In 2015 alone, the north appropriated 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labor; worth [a total] $10.8 Trillion in northern prices. Enough to end extreme poverty 70x over.

Lie (mostly to yourself) and become the biggest AI champion at your company. Seriously. Blow whatever smoke up your bosses asses they want to hear to stay employed. You might even be able to do less work by doing so:

Infinite slop.

What is the CIA putting in American routers thats making them want to force us all to switch so quickly??

that's great! tell them all the truth so they can help build better!

I want MORE of this - the earlier they see through the world's bs, the better.

What disappoints me most is just how many people have been successfully disabused of so much hope, confidence, and imagination that they just accept our current reality as inevitable.

the author has no control over that

dark patterns are pretty well documented and understood at this point. I don't think identifying them is all that hard.

Infinite scroll is one obvious one. As well as forcing algorithmic feeds of accounts we don't follow.

humans are incredibly less rational than we like to pretend we are.

for instance, we're hardwired, for some reason, to protect existing beliefs instead of updating them when presented with new information.
