I’d put money on it starting at $2599 CAD

They can just go to Mark Zuckerberg’s unlicensed digital daycares (Meta Horizon Worlds) or go to Roblox.

This unlocked a core memory of me sneaking down to the pantry at 11pm-1:00am when I was hungry too! My parents would sometimes catch me and that was a whole performance. I had forgotten about all that. Crazy how similar people’s experiences are. Fortunately we’re both out of those situations now

And not just the US. Canadian companies have stopped celebrating/acknowledging pride. No rainbow posts or profiles this month

Ayy this sounds like my origins story! Starting dose of 64mg of Concerta and I never felt well or could sleep. Gained weight which my parents shamed me for (nice). Since they expected me to grow out of ADHD at 18, I stopped meds and raw dogged it until my early 30s. Check my post history for how that went.

Haha alright sure you are! Have fun with your totally effective thorns! 🤣

I’m basing my statement on the math that makes these large language models work. A thorn is standard Unicode, just like any other letter. Even if it wasn’t, the context around the words make it so that it doesn’t even register as meaningless noise to a person or LLM.

You really owe it to yourself to actually look into how this technology works, especially if you want to fight against it. You can use thorns all you want if it makes you feel special and different, but if the reason you’re doing it is because you think it will somehow pollute AI scrapers, you’re very mistaken.

A single odd character here and there does nothing to a training set. It doesn’t affect how many tokens each word is broken down into. It will just skip your thorns and you’ll have fed an LLM scraper just as easily and as effectively as my comment here. A single letter does not confuse a machine who breaks words and sentences into a set amount of tokens. It probably makes you feel really nice doing it though.

Maybe for you. Your experience with sex is truly just your own experience. People who aren’t you experience the world and it’s sensations radically differently.

Look at this person with a partner

Your brain is leaking

I don’t want to crush people’s optimism (I’m also envious of your viewpoint), but what makes you think any of this will pop and return to normalcy?

It isn’t.

$1130 CAD for the 512gb model.

I built my gaming desktop for that price and it has a 4070 super.

Next word generating companies have literally made personal computing unaffordable for the next decade (at least).

I admire your viewpoint and wish it was the case. America will use its military and economic force to bend the world to do what it wishes. It already does that now and they’ve shown intent to further this behaviour.

You and I have come to the same conclusion. Compute as a service. I foresee it one step further - anyone with unlicensed personal compute that isn’t tied to a corporate subscription will not be legal.

A visceral reaction but aimed at the wrong person. It’s just an observation of the trends. The fact that tech companies no longer need to sell to consumers, the intermingling of tech companies with the US government, the trending authoritarianism of world governments, and the moral panic being manufactured to implement age verification, the erosion of encryption, and the now-illegality of VPNs by first world governments.

Go read some slop by Curtis Yarvin. He’s the mind behind the ideology of the new right. That is where it’s headed.

I’d wager that in 10 years, it will be illegal to own your own hardware.

Edit: pay attention to what’s currently happening in the tech and political sphere. Big tech corporations are a new branch of government and the end goal that most of these CEO’s want is a change to how the world is run. Read Curtis Yarvin’s slop diatribes for an insight into the ideology behind the global right.

What sorts of salads and sides would go well with him?

I got Jellyfin working on my network and found that it didn’t have a nice UI, it didn’t match shows to their IMDb titles consistently, it showed duplicates, and I wasn’t able to access things remotely as easily as Plex.
