Better get while the gettin’s good on that one though. Even if the price stays the same, the value of that free admission appears to be set to diminish rapidly.

Great for camping or if you’re just feeling lazy. Just rip it and sip it. 😂

Due to my habit of eating soup straight from the can, my partners refer to it as “bachelorette chow.” I remain unrepentant.

Voters in the U.S. would, unfortunately, continue to believe that locking people up in torturous conditions for decades is both an effective and just means of dealing with antisocial behavior, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

Don’t forget the Falklands.

I think the point you’re missing is that without the monetary incentive that arises under capitalism, there would be very little drive for anyone to build these wasteful AI systems. It’s difficult to imagine a group of people voluntarily amassing and then using the resources necessary for “AI” absent the desire to cash in on their investment. So you’re correct that an alternative economic system won’t “magically” make LLMs go away. I think it unlikely, however, that such wasteful nonsense would be used on any meaningful scale absent the perverse incentives of capitalism.

7 websites, Jellyfin for 6 people, Nextcloud, CRM for work, email server for 3 domains, NAS, and probably some stuff I’ve forgotten on a $4 computer from a tiny thrift store in BFE Kansas.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I can’t recommend Midnight Mass highly enough! Probably my favorite horror/spooky thing ever. Best to go in blind, I think. It’s not a mystery per se, but figuring out what’s going on is part of the fun for sure.
