@BrianRoemmele @grok Ollama is not complicated. All local is rubbish.

How to not pay for an AI agent. Get a computer you don’t use. NO NOT AN APPLE MAC STUDIO (like and subscribe). Use something far less expensive, ask @Grok to find a useful pile of junk on eBay. And here are the complicated steps:

@MistralAI Many, many timeouts today. Status page doesn't reflect this.

@whimsicalellen @labradore99 @KatieMiller @grok 🤨They both said non-profit, then agreed for-profit.

@encoded_earth @labradore99 @KatieMiller @grok No, Elon lied and Sam continued with what Elon originally wanted to do

After reading this piece on Sam Altman, one can reasonably conclude he’s put profit over loyalty, principles, and company governance. There’s business savvy and ruthlessness, and there’s Sam, who at multiple points in his career has been the subject of investigations and forced departures from companies he’s founded. When those closest to him raise alarms, they should be heeded by those whom he tries to con into business dealings. While Dario is also insufferable, it should be obvious to all why both him and Elon, who worked closest with Sam, find him to be a dishonest swindler. The last takeaway I have — this article is written by a gay Democrat, one of Sam’s own people, and even he is quite unconvinced that Sam is a good person. OpenAI was clearly changed from a non-profit to for-profit to benefit Sam. It’s clear he lied to Elon and his co-founders. “I think there’s a small but real chance he’s eventually remembered as a Bernie Madoff- or Sam Bankman-Fried-level scammer.” This is the truth and the world sees it.

@whimsicalellen @labradore99 @KatieMiller @grok They both lied.

@encoded_earth @labradore99 @KatieMiller @grok This is a quote from greg brockman, elon musk himself wanted to create a for profit, elon lied “Prior to this, Elon was committed enough to the for-profit idea that he actually created the "Open Artificial Intelligence Technologies" for-profit:”

@pmarca Regurgitating ideas planted by the AI industry.

Top doomer.

@whimsicalellen @labradore99 @KatieMiller @grok The shift from non-profit to profit.

Lets break that down, exactly what lie did he tell? Because with scapegoating people take over the general attitude that others have to say about him, without looking at the facts. If you can point out a lie directly that would be great. Scapegoating mechanism works on people’s subconscious, and they are often not aware that this is happening in their psyche

@whimsicalellen @KatieMiller @grok This is a very limited example of scapegoating.

@KatieMiller If he is so unliked, then why did all of OpenAI employees wanted him back after the board fired him. Doesn’t add up. I think Sam is being scapegoated, normal people scapegoat too. @Grok explain what rene girards theory on scapegoating is

@googlegemma Local is rubbish.

@thatstraw Arch.

Currently on Fedora and loving it. If you had to convince me to switch… what distro would you suggest?

@PeterDiamandis @dkhos And what does he do for a living? What a coincidence.

@dkhos talks about how it won't make sense for people to own cars in the future.

@TechLayoffLover No references, no sources, means no credibility.

Oracle just announced they're REHIRING 8,000 of the 30,000 workers they executed in March AS CONTRACTORS WITHOUT BENEFITS FOR 60% OF THEIR PREVIOUS SALARY Same fucking job. Same desk. Same manager who walked them out. But now they're "independent consultants" with zero healthcare, no stock options, and contracts that expire every 6 months I'm hearing the offshore teams they hired simultaneously are getting the permanent roles with full benefits while Americans get the contractor scraps Sources saying Larry Ellison's internal memo literally called it "workforce arbitrage optimization" - corporate speak for "let's destroy the American middle class for quarterly margins" $6.13 billion in profits last quarter while playing musical chairs with human lives The rehired contractors have to reapply for building access. THE SAME FUCKING BUILDINGS THEY WORKED IN FOR YEARS. Oracle's HR sent templates to managers: "We're excited to welcome back talent in a more flexible capacity" Translation: "We're going to work you to death without paying benefits and fire you the second our AI agents can do your job" Same workload. Same deadlines. Same impossible expectations. 60% of the pay and none of the security If you work at Oracle right now, screenshot everything and start interviewing today because you're next on the contractor conversion list

@PeterDiamandis SpaceX is overvalued.

Race to IPO. The SpaceX offering will suck the capital out of the room…. Anthropic next with awesome performance will sweep up what’s left. OpenAI has got to be worrying — Sam’s next RedAlert!

@EllandRoadGlory @zone_astronomy It's obviously implied given the text and timing. Obvious unless you're a numpty.

@encoded_earth @zone_astronomy Nobody is saying it is you numpty.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

@BrianRoemmele Why are they wearing uniforms?

AI today, but robots tomorrow.

@a16z @davidu @aleximm @Flock_Safety Dishonest that you don't mention you're an investor in Flock.

Flock Safety uses technology to make Americans safer. Flock is designed to help solve more crimes, more efficiently and accurately, and to protect the civil liberties all Americans expect. And it's working. @davidu and @aleximm on how we can and do solve crime: a16z.news/p/we-can-and-d…

@windsurf The weekly quota is the worst of all.

Finally, for Max users, we’ve decided to remove your daily limits entirely starting today. Your weekly quota remains, but you’re now free to use it however your workflow demands.

Today Windsurf is getting a few updates: an Adaptive model router, a redesigned model picker with more pricing context, and the removal of daily limits for Max. We heard you loud and clear on pricing being too opaque and, in some cases, too restrictive. These updates are meant to address that.

@BrianRoemmele @pmarca "clearly bigger" - claim, not argument.

"This is the biggest technological revolution of my life. This is clearly bigger than the internet. The comps on this are things like the microprocessor and the steam engine and electricity."—@pmarca

@Defence_Index Looks like a fragile solution.

🇷🇺 BREAKING: Russia unveils a robotic mortar system that loads and operates using an automated arm, replicating a human gunner. Designed to increase firing speed and reduce human exposure on the battlefield, the system brings automation directly into frontline artillery operations. War is getting more automated than ever.

@PeterDiamandis When did it become illegal for people to ride horses, shoot guns, smoke, ... ?

When will it become illegal for humans to drive?  Think about it like indoor smoking or drunk driving.  Waymo's driverless cars are seeing up to 90% fewer injury crashes vs. humans.
