How revealing. Have fun believing whatever makes you feel happy, the rest of us are busy living in the real world.

Republican appointed official behaves like a petulant child - how shocking. If you want this embarrassing behavior to end, vote for the adults in the room in the midterms and demand accountability. Otherwise it will continue to get worse.

How do you know that not connecting it is sufficient to stop the spying? There are a few large IoT-focused networks like Amazon Sidewalk where conceivably the smart TV could connect to them if you don't connect it to your home wifi. I

The assumption is that requiring 1 second of compute before allowing a page load will have more impact on the people requesting 1000 pages/sec than it will on consumers requesting 1 page every minute. Personally I don’t understand wher

Well the big thing that stands out in the reliability front is that AWS and Google cloud are typically stable , certainly more than 3 nines. Meanwhile openai seems to roll dice on every request to see if they’re going to return a 500 or n

Using cloud hosted models that are created as a psy-op by domestic billionaires and crypto-fascists will end badly. At least with self-hosted models the people running them get full control and don’t need to worry about the model or guardra

Your victim complex is ridiculous, and unwarranted. You are demanding that a private company host content that they don’t agree with just because YOU feel aggrieved.

Nobody is “pushing an ideology” on you, indy . Nexus mods is allowed to choose what they want to host. If you want to share a mod they don’t accept, host it somewhere else.

Good news! You're still allowed to install whatever mods you want. Expecting Nexus to host mods they don't want to host is idiotic. Hiding the whole complaint behind an implication is cowardice. Hope that helps.

Obviously, yes. That's why it needs to be included in any estimate. My point being "a few weeks and 8M tokens" is wildly unrealistic.

You may be living in a bubble. There are tons of developers still coding by hand, and many industries that don't trust machine generated code in general.

I would be interested in seeing a similar list of predictions from Altman, Amodei, etc with annotations about how many have come true. Ed Zitron is a blow hard and frequently overstates things to the point where it is hard to take seriousl

Have you considered releasing any of this as a plug for phoenix or similar? I’ve also toyed with this approach and have a similar labyrinth on my website, but it just serves back huge amounts of meaningless text one word at a time.
