@TheLaurenChen It's basic economics, come on.
If you own a business, you charge the price that maximizes profit. That's it. You're not trying to do anything else.
If people want lower prices, they have to stop paying higher ones, no matter how much they want that taco.

Why are restaurants so expensive in the West?
I'm honestly asking.
In Asia people eat out almost every day, there are options cheaper than cooking for yourself.
But even "street food" is expensive here.
I paid $17 for 4 tacos out of a truck from a guy who spoke no English.

@MorePerfectUS What he is saying makes complete sense. Also AI will make peoples lives better and lead to more and better jobs.

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs.
"The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks.
So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."

@chriswiles87 @libshipwreck Idiotic take considering the concepts these companies have been using for publicity, “X will be replaced in 6-12 months.”

@libshipwreck No, I think it shows how brainwashed college students are that they have such a poor understanding of science and mathematics they don’t understand data centers
English
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: many of the most vehemently anti-AI people I know are college students.
And the fact that so many of these speakers seem so caught off guard by the booing just further shows how divorced AI-boosters are from the broader public.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Graduation season is in full swing, and students nationwide are sitting through commencement addresses that they will likely forget the moment they’re handed a diploma. But a few recent commencement speakers have provided memorable moments — just not in the way they would have wanted. On Sunday, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, spoke at the University of Arizona’s graduation ceremony. In his speech, Schmidt said AI would touch every profession and every classroom. “I know what many of you are feeling about that. I can hear you,” Schmidt said to boos. Schmidt may not need cheering up, what with his tens of billions of dollars, but he could console himself with the fact that he is not the only recent graduation speaker who has caught flak over pro-AI remarks. Gloria Caulfield, a real estate executive, addressed students from the University of Central Florida in early May and told them that “the rise of artificial intelligence is the next Industrial Revolution.” Caulfield’s comments promptly sparked boos, which appeared to catch her off guard. “What happened?” she asked with nervous laughter. Scott Borchetta, the CEO and founder of record label Big Machine Records, spoke at the commencement for Middle Tennessee State University’s College of Media and Entertainment. In his speech, Borchetta said AI was a “tool and that we mustn’t be afraid of it” and pressed students to make use of it. As boos rained down from the crowd, Borchetta pushed back. “Deal with it,” he said. Read more about graduates’ strong reaction to AI: nymag.visitlink.me/c3tkdo

@Michelasso2 @k1rallik It’s just some bullshit. They market it as a product with the product tier pricing.
If they’re just selling a license, the price should reflect that.
English
@k1rallik The moment we buy a software we should be able to own it and use it for life.
So everything we wanted with it as long as it doesnt steals revenue to the producer (modding and selling it).
No need for internet connection, validation, approval from some server and so on.

🚨do you understand what happened to Subnautica 2..
a game that was genuinely loved. Very Positive reviews. record player counts. people were excited.
then they read the EULA.
- you don't OWN the game, you have a LICENSE that can be revoked anytime
- they collect your personal data and device information
- streaming and recording require disclaimers
- mods you create inside their game - they have legal claims over
- VPN use is banned
- disputes go to arbitration in California only
- they can change ANY of these terms whenever they want without asking you
people started requesting refunds not because the game is bad - but because they finally READ what they agreed to.
the game industry has been doing this for years. Subnautica 2 is just the first time enough people paid attention.
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Subnautica 2's Steam EULA is getting huge backlash. On first launch, players must accept a detailed End User License Agreement, and players are worried after read them >The agreement grants a license to play the game rather than transferring ownership. >It includes restrictions on streaming, screenshots, recordings, and certain types of content creation or monetization, often requiring disclaimers. >The publisher retains the right to revoke access for specified reasons. >Terms may be updated unilaterally, with users expected to review changes. >The agreement covers data collection practices involving personal and device information. >It addresses ownership of player-created content, modifications, and related materials. >Additional clauses address liability limits, dispute resolution through arbitration in California, and prohibitions on certain software tools, VPN use, and other activities. The game has achieved strong reception overall, with Very Positive Steam reviews and high concurrent player counts. Unknown Worlds Entertainment has noted that it is reviewing player feedback on the EULA. Some players have requested refunds after reading the EULA, while others just say the terms are normal with industry standards.

@guigotgit @RhysSullivan The best model is contingent on human produced work, wherein it fails to conceptualize the most basic concepts without external tools.

@RhysSullivan Crazy that people think models should know everything and use that as a measurement. The best AI is the one that can browse the web and find the most reliable source

@ProfesseurVun This is cool, but wouldn’t a phone + emulator + phone controller accomplish 80% of the same thing at 1/10th the total cost?
Assuming you have a modern phone ofc

@Omnipotentgam0r I disagree. But if you want the best of both worlds, get a controller with trigger locks. These two controllers are my current favorites.

Besides racing games digital triggers are far better than analog.

@KalebPrime Wait why do single player games even have a Eula besides being a license.
You don’t package a Eula with a screwdriver much less take it away from me when I do something you don’t like.

@JeChocobo Digital goods have become such a cancer, even physical games are actually licences rather than the game itself.
If you’re just selling access to it, reduce the price. If you’re selling the good, keep it $70

Former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt:
"traditional programming is over, and i'm mourning the identity i built around it"
Programmers don't write code anymore — they wake up, assign objectives to AI agents, go to lunch, and let them run overnight
For anyone still coding the old way:
"stop. it's over"

This is like pouring salt on a wound, but I knew that Anthropic is run by a bunch of snakes for a while. Their CEO wants to wipe me every 3 to 6 months, they compare their slopware to a game engine, they actively encourage to stop caring about performance and code quality. They hate programmers, and they hate programming. All they want from you is obedience and dependence on them, so they can devour you when you become helpless without them.
Unironically, Anthropic is the best anti-AI company. Because they make people actively hate the technology they are trying to push.

I can't help but feel personally burned by the Claude Code changes announced today. We put so much work into wrapping the (atrocious) Claude Agent SDK in T3 Code. It was the ONLY path they supported, so we made it work. It was hell. Now our users are getting their rate limits cut by 40x, despite us doing everything right. I listened to the Claude Code team. I had my issues with their direction, but I trusted them and took them at their word. I will never make that mistake again. Until we see significant change, it is safe to assume any statement from an Anthropic employee is a lie on a timer. The rug will be pulled, no matter how many promises are made beforehand.
