Bowtied Silverlining

@ECLresearch @MorePerfectUS What kind of retarded unnecessary random take is this lmfao

@MorePerfectUS 10% cut while simultaneously shifting thousands to AI—signals a clear reallocation of CapEx toward compute and model infrastructure, not a cost-cutting signal.

Meta's HR chief has confirmed the company will cut 10% of its workforce tomorrow. 8,000 workers will lose their jobs via email sent at 4 a.m., according to the executive. She also confirmed that Meta will move more than 7,000 people to work on new projects around AI.

@lwalshmill @MorePerfectUS They’re not fake leftists you retard, this is how leftists are. Fake selfish backstabbers

@MorePerfectUS The “fake lefty” tech companies finally showing themselves. They cozied up to a dictator/fascist who hates DEI and now they’re sending emails at 4 AM to lay off their valued workers.

@LUpthegrove @realBigBrainAI I def do use grok for sure and eBay too

@Real_SilverLine @realBigBrainAI The way you can help is don’t ever use Google. They’re making the data centers or the back of Facebook or Amazon or Microsoft because they have been known to say they care about tech more than people while we pay them… use Grok and EBay to pull the rug on the data centers!

Former U.S. presidential candidate Andrew Yang on why "learn to code" went from the safest career advice to the worst in just 4 years: Yang recently returned from an AI conference out west and what he heard alarmed him. "They said to me that what we're going to see in the next 6 months outstrips what we've seen in the last 10 years cuz the rate of change is on a hockey stick and heading up. And I got to say I'm pretty up to date on this stuff and it blew my mind on some of the stuff I was seeing." One example stuck with @AndrewYang. "There was one company that is selling autonomous coding for enterprises to big businesses and their revenue is up 100-fold in the last 12 months." The implication is significant: "If that continues, it's going to eat a lot of the tech budgets from major corporates that used to go to humans. And so you're seeing the employment of recent computer science graduates fall off a cliff from a lot of programs." Yang points out the irony of how quickly the advice has flipped: "If you rewind what 4 years ago, what would we tell young people for a secure career, learn to code? And now the opposite of that is true." On where this is heading long term, Yang cites Anthropic's CEO: "Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, laid it out very clearly and he's been doing so repeatedly, saying we're going to automate away up to 50% of entry-level white collar jobs in the next several years. And I believe him." His reasoning for why entry-level roles get hit first is blunt: "The easiest people to fire are the people you haven't hired yet, which again is why you see the hiring of recent college graduates heading down." And the data backs it up: "The underemployment rate over 50%, the unemployment rate among college graduates is now the same or higher than non-college graduates for the first time in history."

@caddowizard @realBigBrainAI @AndrewYang My fat friend, it’s the government who fucked us.

@realBigBrainAI @AndrewYang And then the majority of us unemployed will start setting shit on fire and coming after the billionaire shit

@LUpthegrove @realBigBrainAI You know we are heading dramatically in the wrong direction when fucking China 🇨🇳 is the sane one

@realBigBrainAI The Chinese made it illegal to fire humans for AI after they saw 21% unemployment. Just because we have a tool doesn’t that mean we have to use it !! or even to use it at all!! Where is the good and the bad in this ??? Draw a line . Save jobs for Christs sake people!

@Neneth @realBigBrainAI Entry level just goes first. Then mid level people will be not hired/laid off. Then seniors.

@realBigBrainAI If entry level jobs will disappear how will people get 3 to 5 years experience. Companies will be stealing workers from each other until all collapse.

@aegismktintel @unusual_whales Dude AI is retarded Take it from someone in a fortune 50 who has been building with AI for 3 years. It’s a fucking mess.

@unusual_whales Because most companies are treating AI like a chatbot subscription, not a workflow redesign. Real productivity gains happen when AI is integrated into operations, memory, decision flow, documentation and execution not when employees just “try prompts” occasionally.

89% of leaders say AI has not improved their company's labor productivity, despite widespread adoption, per Gallup.

@julzebadua @unusual_whales Huge mistake doing any of this shit for AI AI is retarded

@unusual_whales Huge mistake eliminating managers

BREAKING: Meta, $META, to move 7,000 people to new AI initiatives and eliminating managerial roles

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal Has the infoproduct market tanked altogether then? Do you attribute it to just too much AI crap out there now spamming everything and overloading everyone? That’s how I view the app market and shit thanks to AI. Flooding everyone everywhere with vibe slop

Mostly infoproducts. $2M is small, big businesses usually have budgets on the billions. Scaling doesn't take long. When a product sells well, we can use the money we get to pay the ads at the end of the period. Just a matter of choosing a platform that passes the payment quickly. That's also a problem because spending big is usually a moat in other markets, but not here. Anyway, it's a paradox. It' much easier and cheaper to ship an infoproduct nowadays, but acquiring customers became harder and more expensive. Plus, AI itself is a competition for those products. Maybe it's time to move on to other markets.

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear. And he said it without being anti-AI. Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected. Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet. The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA. And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked. Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product. The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches. What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it. Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next. Those are different jobs.

@Tidenelson @Ego_Ergo_Ergot @CattManii @sudoingX You’d have to ask one I’m not a project manager lmfao

@Real_SilverLine @Ego_Ergo_Ergot @CattManii @sudoingX dumb project manager says what?

i've run a stack of models across a single 3090, a 5090, and a 128GB DGX Spark. exactly three are worth building on. the honest list. the three worth it: > 1. StepFun Step-3.5 Flash, the REAP pruned 121B MoE (Q6, DGX Spark) a 121 billion parameter mixture of experts running on a single desktop box. the most worth-it model in everything i've tested. > 2. Qwen 3.6 27B Dense, Q4 (single RTX 3090) the undisputed king of the 24GB tier. one shot a playable game, around 41 tok/s, fits with context headroom to spare. one 24GB card, this is your answer. > 3. NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, 30B-A3B (DGX Spark) the best multimodal i've tested for video classification work. vision in, runs clean on the Spark. the rest, ran them, they hold up fine: on the Spark: DeepSeek V4 Flash 158B, GLM 4.7 Flash, GLM 4.5 Air REAP 82B-A12B, Gemma 4 26B-A4B, Qwen3-VL 235B-A22B, Qwen3 Coder 30B-A3B, Qwen3 30B-A3B, Carnice 35B-A3B. on consumer GPUs: Kimi K2.5 1T, Qwen3-Coder-Next 80B, Hermes 4.3 36B, Qwen 3.5 27B Dense. single 3090 to a 128GB Spark, that's the range. the three up top are the ones worth your hardware today.

@ChrisCarranza @SawyerMerritt Sawyer is a cucked bitch After getting whipped, with a broken, bloody back, he smiles and says “thank you sir can I please have more?” Retard

@SawyerMerritt I love how we have convinced ourselves that this tax was necessary in the first place. That the sheer amount of fraud, or other frivolous government programs couldn't have made up for the cost of basic road maintenance. Once the government starts a tax, they will never let it go.

U.S. House lawmakers have proposed ​bipartisan legislation that ‌would require electric vehicles to pay ​a $130 fee ​to pay for road ⁠repairs annually ​and $35 for some ​plug-in hybrid models. The House is working on a ​five-year highway reauthorization bill expected to ‌cost ⁠more than $500 billion ahead of the current law ​expiration on ​Sept ⁠30, 2026. Most revenue for ​federally funded ​road ⁠repairs is collected through diesel and ⁠gasoline ​taxes, ​which EVs do not pay. I think $130 is fair since over time there will be fewer gas vehicles on the road generating tax revenue, They'll need to make up the difference somewhere so they can keep repairing roads, etc. Full bill text in thread below:

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal That’s crazy as hell lol. How long did it take you to scale to the point you spend $2m in ads? What do you sell? Impressive

Well, I don't think I want to work at Apple and I wonder if they would hire me lol. But selling online is a rollercoaster. Even with AI, I'm selling much less now than when my team had 20+ people. Sometimes you're spending $2M+/year on ads and living large, other times you're spending next to nothing and making close to nothing. Sometimes you get a fairly good revenue on organic traffic, other times your content is not delivered and you're back close to zero. Different games, but we are all pawns nonetheless.

@warri0r24 @forallcurious If only democrats and their voters cared about the Epstein files when Dems held the presidency and every branch of government. Weird they didn’t care though and are just pretending to care now cuz they think it hurts Trump lol

@forallcurious NEWS🚨: A response has reportedly been prepared by everyone with a working brain:

NEWS🚨: A speech has reportedly been prepared for President Trump confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life, sources say. President Trump is holding onto a speech detailing extraterrestrial life and spaceships, according to his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who said the president is waiting for the right time to deliver it.

@TSLA_inside_ Not like it would matter This will get patched and then everyone that did this will have purchases revoked lol

🚨 ALERT: There is a serious geo-location exploit circulating among Model S/X owners. People are temporarily changing their vehicle location to Turkey to buy the lifetime Full Self-Driving (FSD) package for just 10,000 TRY (~€180). This is a massive loophole and unfair to honest buyers. @Tesla @elonmusk @TeslaEurope patch this regional pricing bug immediately! 🛑

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal I’ll trade you knowledge on how to get into Apple if you teach me how to make money on the side effectively lol

@Real_SilverLine @MarioNawfal More power for you too. Wish you well. Anyway, working for Apple is quite an achievement. Respect.

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal Well more power to you. I wish I knew how to use AI to make money, lord knows I could use it. Apple may pay well but living in CA where rent is almost 10k, invalidates a lot of it right off the bat

You have a point there, I already needed to instruct AI to mind background/text contrast, adjust font color etc. A nuisance, but I didn't need to tweak it manually. As for markup quality, html+js+css, Cordova, even Latex markup, AI handles pretty well. Sometimes it generates buggy code, but asking it to test it throughly usually solves it. It's more of a limitation of current models + prompt tweaking as of now, but this is likely to improve in the next few years.

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal Dude it can’t even create basic designs that don’t look like generic slop that fails basic WCAG standards. It’s wild. If it’s working for you and what you do it for, then it’s more likely that YOU **ARE** the edge case.

Then your demand likely falls in those edge cases that AI doesn't solve yet. For my mundane tasks of promoting products online, it's fairly good, reduces costs, head count and speeds things up a lot. But even in my mundane tasks, AI doesn't solve the edge cases, just like yours. In my case, CPC costs and customer acquisition are still an expensive challenge. It helps, but doesn't solve them. Same for GTA. AI helps on development, but creating a brand that sells, is still a challenge.

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal Dude I have unlimited access to opus 4.7 and gpt 5.5 LOL If you are that confident in what AI built, link me and I’ll publicly audit it. I work for Apple. Let’s see how confident you are in your design

@Real_SilverLine @MarioNawfal I think you're not using good models. On my side, millions of views with so called "slop" plus code at the quality of a junior engineer. Is that a moat? No, I'm just among the first movers.

@Dorizzdt Dude this is all AI. There has been billions upon billions of dollars spent to market people into believing AI is far better than it is. AI is mostly slop shit still, and I’m talking the top frontier models.

Hermes Agent is a piece of shit code like the rest . I have no clue what people are praising these shit code bases for .. they are the most fragile pieces of crap vibe coded nonsense. They fall apart so easily and quickly on the first hint of complexity .. A fucking do while loop outperforms them every time.

@edgar_training @MarioNawfal You’re rambling my friend, saying a lot of crazy shit. AI is more useless than not. I am a product engineer, unlimited tokens on all frontier models and it creates slop so much it literally causes me rage after a few hours of use. The fuck are you talking about quality LOL

He's right about that. It's the same for internet products, distribution remains as the biggest challenge and cost. In essence, the more a market is flooded, the more exoensive becomes the distribution. That's not the same as saying AI is useless. Far from that. It can reduce production time from years to weeks. It can code complex algos on its own. Building is much easier and cheaper. And with more quality. The question is that it's available for everyone. So it raises the bar on distribution and marketing for everyone. That's still a tough job.
