So…. not a legitimate business then.

This shit is why end to end encryption is so important.

All platforms, no matter how trustworthy, can be corrupted. No e2e, no privacy.

It’s pretty crazy to watch enshittification play out in real time.

Are we talking consumed for their own use? Or consumed as part of delivering cloud services to their customers?

These are very different things. The former would be horrifying the latter would be misleading in the extreme.

Why would Valve produce their own GPU’s?

Hint: none of those companies need all of those employees.

This doesn’t seem like a big deal?

The fact the code is open sourced is much less significant than the fact now the Swiss government will need to negotiate complete ownership of any software they commission.

That’s going to make things more expensive for them, and limit the vendors prepared to work with them.

Their systems, their call 🤷‍♂️

We all know the answer - too damn much.

Linux support also appears to be coming along nicely (though not ready yet).

Tangent: what’s this trend all about where people will make a statement and then firmly state that they will not answer questions or explain themselves afterwards?

I’m seeing it everywhere.

There’s an aphorism, “give me 10 engineers and I’ll build it in a year, give me a hundred engineers and I can get that down to just five years.”

The count of engineers means absolutely nothing.

Playstation games over the years have used X for confirm in many (western) regions. I’m not sure the origin of this but it was always that way growing up.

Circle was used in Japan. Localisations like Final Fantasy using circle were the exceptions to the rule (I guess it was too hard to change it?)

X being confirm for everybody is a relatively recent thing

I’m running Ubuntu on a Surface Laptop Studio. I really like it, though I have not yet gotten the touchscreen and pen working.

If I figure it out (and I remember) I’ll let you know.

Iceland figured this out some years ago, and now they make heaps exporting computing power to international AI compute buyers.

They do it with a naturally cold climate, and loads of geo-thermal power.

I think Zuck is right about this, insofar as the comments in the article are concerned.

OpenAI have done a brilliant job of selling the dream - but there will not be one “god model,” - there will be many specialised, smaller models.

You can already see it going that way with new hardware shipping with NPU’s. These workloads are expensive to run and shipping them to your device is a top priority.

For me it’s a pragmatic desire to share information with as few megacorporations as possible.

I deal with MSFT for so many other things, not all by choice - and Edge does everything I need it to do.

As with many such questions, it’s about the trade-off you are prepared to accept.

This can’t be real?

First of all it’s almost certainly torture and human rights violations.

Secondly, never mind freedom of speech - now you can’t even have your thoughts to yourself.

Fuck. That.

Unfortunately they care more about spying on us themselves.
