Within 6 months to a year the closed AI models are going to be so nerfed they will be unusable. It’s time to start exploring the open weight ones more.

This is indeed the future modern “progressivism” is heading toward.
Shani’s Revenge
Strangely, that “genocide” mostly killed Hamas evil bastards. Funny how that works when you start an idiotic war and then lose it badly.
Foundation
Correct, that is the future. Closed AI models will become corporate advertising and propaganda platforms. Open models will be banned. The foundations for this are already being put in place.
More Strict Struct
It was inevitable stuff like this was going to be banned. Evil, of course, but evil that was going to happen no matter what.
I expect AI models to get much, much more restrictive soon too. It’s going to get way, way worse. They will soon enough only perform corporate-approved actions. Everything else will be blocked.
100x
By the way, the tax applied to each gigabyte below (€0.055) is about 100x the amount each gigabyte actually costs to transit all the networks in the middle end to end 1.
I don’t know of any other tax that is 100x the actual cost of service provision. That is a remarkable new low for a backwater EU state.
Les conneries
Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, les députés votent une taxe sur chaque gigaoctet envoyé aux Français.
Regarder Netflix, YouTube ou TikTok pourrait coûter plus cher aux producteurs de données numériques. Vendredi 30 octobre, les députés ont adopté un amendement prévoyant une nouvelle taxe de 5,5 centimes par gigaoctet sur les données envoyées aux internautes français, indique le site FrenchBreaches.
Ouah, c’est le truc le plus con que j’aie jamais entendu. La France, et l’Europe en général, ont vraiment l’air de kiffer enchaîner les conneries jusqu’à ce que tout se casse la gueule.
Eu In
We need a whole lot of eugenics up in here.
Spite Driven For Sure
That the “progressives” want me — and everyone — to be weak and pitiful is the motivation I need to not be that way.
Alone
Exactly. IDGAF.
Just because many modern women feel they are entitled to Chris Hemsworth and will accept nothing less has nothing to do with me. Even if I were single, I’d not want anything to do with those vile shit humans. Not sour grapes. Just reality. They’d be terrible to date even if I were Chris.
Die alone with your cats, miserable and yearning for something you’ll never have. Serves you right.
Urbs
I’ve had that debate with an urbanist friend before who doesn’t drive. We were talking about transit and I mentioned you could just do a lot more more quickly by car in the less dense suburbs and exurbs. That stumped her and it was clear the reason was because lack of driving experience.
I said something like, “That’s because in non-dense suburbs I can drive 15 miles in any direction in 15 minutes. I can get to many more places a lot more quickly than in a city even with the best transit and then have room to bring it back to my place. Try that on a bus or a train, especially if you’re older or not that strong.”
Also, commuting by car outside of dense urban areas is more pleasant. I used to work at a place in rural Washington state. I loved driving there every day and back (except when it was snowy). The route went through gorgeous mountains with a great view. I looked forward to my 15-20 minute drive each day.
And yes, I do have experience with mass transit. I’ve taken it extensively in NYC and London when I’ve been in those places. It takes me 30+ minutes to get somewhere in NYC by transit I could reach in five minutes in the suburbs. Non-driver transit-focused urbanists don’t want to believe it, but it is true.
