@edzitron 1B users. 90 to 95% dont pay a dime. Most used it to toy around once. I paid 3 months, not coming back. Same with grok. Chinese models are free and just as good, just dont ask any historical/geopolitical question though.
@edzitron "as models [...] much more useful"
each release they become marginally more useful. We're into "diminishing return" territory. Scaling up LLM is like saying scaling up steam machine will allow to fly to the moon. It won't.
@SolLunix Yup, that's why wealthy people don't pay taxes. Everything they use or consume is a company asset, therefore is tax deductible. That's why i keep telling people you can raise taxes on the rich they don't care, they mostly pay none.
Chaos and yelling as government in Canada makes themselves EXEMPT form Freedom of Information Act requests
An omnibus budget bill secretly included a statute exempting themselves from FOIA requests
Records on cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants, and their offices inducing staff are now largely exempt from FOI requests
Holy sh*t
@Tacoooooooocat@HikikomoriMedia steam machine wont be as powerful as a ps5 according to its own specs, but it's more portable and as a secondary device I'll grab one if the price is right.
If your car can be turned off, remotely and without due process, it’s not your car.
This is private property confiscation.
Coming in 2027.
Are you ready to own nothing and be happy?
🚨 Day 38 fighting for my channel 🚨
My 13-year-old YouTube history channel (@Panzerpicture) full of WW2 archive footage, tanks & veteran stories was suddenly deleted in February over **false** "sexual abuse-related content" claims.
No warning. No real appeal. Locked out ever since.
This was a massive historical archive I built for over a decade. Now gone in minutes.
I have Crohn’s disease and the stress is destroying my health.
All I want is a **human review** from YouTube.
If you believe in preserving history and fair treatment for creators, please:
→ RT & share widely
→ Tag @TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators
We need real human oversight, not broken AI strikes.

@atomtanstudio@TheGeorgePu Same. I want privacy and control over my data, even if the price is high and it's slower and less capable than "frontier" models.
