Glad you and your lizard are safe!

With the sheer amount of money that the rich are throwing at OpenAI via investment firms, they don’t need nor want to charge imo. The fact that they’re being built into Apple’s ecosystem and are getting name-dropped to people inside of iOS is kinda what their investors want.

It’s the age old “walmart opens and operates at a loss for 2 years to force others out of business, then jacks the price” model.

Investors want them to cement this as The AI company & brand so that once it gets giant and starts to be profitable just by being the biggest gorilla in the room, the shares they bought are worth more.

So what I’m trying to say is that our version of capitalism is perfect and makes lots of sense and is in no way insane and degenerate.

Ah crap, you’re right - that’s another video of his, apologies

Yeah this is what I’ve heard as well. Aging Wheels goes into it a bit in this review of a concept car, kinda neat - it has pedals like a bicycle but the energy they add is a tiny fraction of what the thing needs to move.

Edit: oops, I’m combining two of his vids in my head, this one is just solar not pedals.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m getting at - when does a tool stop being a tool and start being a non-human creator? It’ll be interesting to see how courts suss it out…

Ahh, interesting. I almost admitted to not knowing that when I posted haha - I’m not hugely familiar with how image ai works, wasn’t sure it would be possible for one person to produce enough training material under current tech.

Interesting to think about it as a hypothetical, though.

Honestly I’d need it to not be 100% permanent. If the earth gets obliterated I’m not interested in swirling in the void forever. If a government figures it out and keeps me locked to a table for decades, I want to be able to die.

If you give me the ability to concentrate and stop existing, I’m in.

for X in $(seq -f host%02g 1 9); do echo $X; ssh -q $X “grep the shit”; done

:)

But yeah fair, I do actually use a big data stack for log monitoring and searching… it’s just way more usable haha

Yeah my experience is similar to other replies - no nonstick will last you for ever.

If you want a BIFL pan, a real high quality stainless steel one from a restaurant supply store will be your ticket IMHO. You’ll be able to use metal utensils in it and not ding the coating, and you can use real steel wool and brillo pads in it and not hurt it. I tried for years to baby various nonstick brands but they always got fucked up one way or another. Even ceramic coated eventually chipped and scratched until it wasn’t very nonstick anymore.

It won’t be as nonstick as a coated pan, but it will truly last you forever; they’re made for kitchen staff which means they’re built to get the shit kicked out of them regularly. It does mean more scrubbing but it also means not buying pans every year or two, so 🤷‍♂️

Edit: Oh I just remembered my favorite trick for removing caked on grease and whatnot - fill the pan with water (and a tiny bit of dish soap if it’s really bad) then put it on high heat and boil it.

But you kick off the lava? Your foot would melt fam

More money in tracking people in rich countries and selling their data maybe?

Oh no who could have seen this coming?!

That’ll be why they just pushed a “agree to our new license with arbitrage or your tv is a brick” update

Yarrr

If people don’t wake up, “deregulation” is going to defang the fda, epa, and other agencies that were set up because people were being hurt and killed.

If you don’t know about it, look up “the poison squad” - people were putting things like borax in food because it made it prettier, it took a guy literally feeding volunteers various things people were adding to food to prove they were poison. There were no rules for what you could sell as food.

If you want to feel really sad, look up “swill milk” - babies died being fed it because it had such little nutritional value. It often had chalk mixed in to make it appear less watery.

Capitalism encourages people to hurt others for personal gain. We need these organizations to keep a lid on the worst of us.

My brain wants to read this as the correct pronunciation twice instead of the phrase

BEES!?!
