Imagine if the crypto GPU shit was actually AI all along. After all a Google employee got fired for saying they made a sentient AI a while back before the AI hype. Although there has been a lot of crypto shit happening too so probably both.
My Pixel 6 Pro is about to lose software support even though it functions perfectly fine, and GrapheneOS has the idiotic logic of "sending software updates for unsupported phones is bad security so it's better to not send any software updates at all and make it even more unsupported". Either way I can't really afford a new one (and don't really want to buy one anyways with Google's recent Android fuckery) so I guess I'll just stick with a phone with abandoned software for a while.
The supply chain for computing resources is extremely bottlenecked right now. Even with the high demand for open weight AI models the data centers hosting them aren't able to get the computing resources they need and they keep running into rate limits even for paid users. Z.ai's hosting quality has dropped which I suspect may be related. Even over the past few weeks this has gotten much worse with the release of Kimi K2.5 being competitive with closed US-based models and OpenCode becoming popular. Meanwhile we have corporations like OpenAI buying up half the world's RAM fucking both other people and other corporations. So I'm not sure where this is going to end up, but the computer hardware market is going to really suck for a while.
A compiler doesn't have to make the exact same output, nor does an LLM have to make differing outputs, and a compiler uses someone else's code to transform your code into something else.
Then censor their identities. The reality is they're trying to push the narrative that they didn't abuse children, and if they released it that narrative would be completely crushed which would be far more devastating for the government than what's happening right now.
I'm okay with a few crawlers, but not what's effectively a DDoS attack by AI companies who abuse my resources generating terabytes of traffic and crashing my server while costing me money. I use Anubis now, which sucks from an accessibility standpoint but I'm not dealing with their malicious traffic anymore.
Having checked a year ago and checking again now, their UX has barely improved and the GUI is still significantly worse than Discord. They need some sort of monetization strategy for funding and leadership that isn't a shitshow so that they can make something that people will actually want to use.
Engaging algorithms is the reason people stay on proprietary services. Fediverse users love to shoot themselves in the foot talking about how algorithms and AI sucks then wonders why people don't want to switch
I use a Google Pixel 6 Pro with GrapheneOS, Google Voice for probable spam, YouTube, and Google Maps for search. Once the GrapheneOS phone comes out that will probably be my next phone (and fuck Google with their planned obsolescence, makes me not want to buy another Pixel). Google Voice I don't care but I could switch to another paid JMP.chat number if I need to. YT is difficult to leave (both for content and algorithm) and the Google Maps alternatives suck for searching.
AI advice is shit, but then I ask people for advice and quickly remember why I started using AI instead
