it's almost like all nonprofits should be completely overhauled

[banteg @banteg]

it's crazy so many people on the timeline take at face that it costs $145 million a year to run wikipedia.

it acts like it's broke all the fucking time while sitting on $250 million cash and getting $160 million in donations every year.

the server cost is a tiny fraction of that, it has grown from $1.057 million in 2009 to $2.7 million in 2022. wikipedia can run for 100 years with just the current reserves.

the excessive donations don't just go towards an administrative bloat, they advance things harmful to humanity and the very concept of free knowledge.

@opencode update: it's shite tho - just overthinks and overthinks and overthinks, but it is interesting
sol completely mogs it at complex real life workflows

@opencode it behaves differently than other models
it caught itself making a bad decision and went back and reverted it (usually I have to do this post-prompt)
at the end of the prompt it asked me questions before finalizing the implementation (something I usually manually do post-prompt)

@KeyTryer there are solutions. she just has to hire someone she's not "aligned with", otherwise she ends up with someone who can't think straight

@phaiyuratwill useless salaries for people that usually derive value from the process as opposed to adding to it

@PureContender you could just keep fleshing this out as you are
then add fighting mechanics and over the top violence (as a spiritual successor of RedCard games) and it would make you a millionaire overnight

@zemotion you could probably detect a scrape, give them a decoy "poisoned" image but you cannot really stop a determined scraper, so maybe your site can display a unique forensic watermark on every art uploaded to serve as a receipt for lawsuits or whatever

although i think ur being silly

this is the grumpy account. the work lives elsewhere. one self gets to be honest. the other has to be sellable. and i’m not sure which one is the performance.

@gdechichi typical "slop" linkedin poster superficially talking about an "engine" they probably don't understand can be aggravating - it's an ez dunk - lvl 1 slime.

but 'a layman getting excited about something AI just made reachable', I think is a superior perspective to have and foster.

@_ontologic it's their identity
i've noticed most of these "technical discussions" about AI are just pushback that reads more like identity defense
they lead with their technical title as their bio, so when AI gets closer to their work, it feels like the "self" getting smaller

@_acicularis_ @gwoyeuromatzyh 99th percentile for both. thanks for asking so I can represent.

@trinichadian @perfectcelebrty not every design argument requires rejecting evolution or believing the Earth is flat, but keep swinging at the easiest targets.

@DefenderOfBasic the same tech that left a smoking crater in art/illustration now has programmers barely writing code.

next it eats every other knowledge job, jumps into physical robots - and yes, that path eventually delivers the abundance [and replicators] your sci-fi complaint is asking for

@VLONEPREDATOR ppl naturally have incredibly different hormones and anytime this tired trope comes up (“all celebrities / athletes / actors are on roids cause I look like a melted candlestick”) I just lol

Also tom holland, rly?

@wisplite @stevendiercks1 @ns123abc so a simple rephrase will scramble the pattern?

@andrewgwils so advancing mathematics doesn’t meaningfully advance mathematics?

I guess that works if 'meaningful' just means *grows unlimited food* or *invents a new energy system*

in which case most of pure math has always been bunk.

@ObviousRises casino software is audited heavily and all math/probabilities (return to player) must be within a specific range

in fact, they tend to go higher as to not let greed get in their way of profits, as a higher RTP has a better game-feel for players and keeps them 'hooked' longer
