And these police organisations keep spouting “but we need more funds, to protect the community”

No, you fucking dont, you’re wasting your resources by attempting to uphold your strict quotas rather than actually serve and protect the community.

To make it more efficient, we should have as many people as possible doing the hole punching

Wait, didn’t he talk about the antichrist at a conference, and basically describe himself? Pretty fitting honestly

So I guess the plan is to make a somehow buoyant hyperscaler powered on tidal energy tech which is pretty much still in its infancy, and radiate all the heat in an already too hot ocean?

Lovely idea, Theil, I hope it leaks.

Then they get pissed off and try to convince you that you’re manipulating them

I mean, OneDrive did the same, except their tactic was just to delete your files instead of store them, instead of increasing it…

Have you tried reminiscing of a void instead, which lacks any sensory input or memories, but includes full awareness, which happened to be your first ever conscious experience? Wait, that’s just me? Oh.

Sure, these glasses are a corporate surveillance state nightmare, but keep in mind, assault shouldn’t be something you consider, unless it’s justifiable.

Most places have law stating the public can be recorded freely by anyone, which is basically why these exist, so the justification needs to actually hold weight, such as being stalked or other reasons.

There’s also the fact that these glasses could be used by disabled individuals who are using them as aids, and quite frankly, assaulting a disabled person, even if you don’t know they’re disabled is a significant aggravating factor in court. You really don’t want that for yourself.

This is some Chernobyl Geiger counter type shit

Pricing for surfaces was already illogically high, why not add more fuel to the fire?

I’ll take that as a sign you’ve never written a single line of code in your life, since if you actually did so, you’d soon realise it’s like having a fast typing, cocaine fuelled intern as a sidekick, who only saw a couple stack overflow code snippets in your language of choice and ran with it.

They’re there to gather data on the moon’s surface and how being on a manned mission affects the human body.

We already have pictures of the dark side of the moon, so the intention this time was for the human eye to view it, since it gets much more detail anyway.

On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it

Actually, I agree. And so far, small local models are really solid, and can punch above its weight even when compared to frontier models.

I believe what I meant when I said I doubted it was since these AI corpos seemingly give no indication that local is an option, so most people would think they can only access an LLM through the web. This would bolster the SaaS ecosystem dominating over local AI, although local will keep increasingly growing as a more favourable option.

Although I do agree that the industry will shift from being server based to PC based inference as well, I don’t see that shift being large enough to make these companies change their training paradigms to include telemetry from local AI, but I’m sure some will.

I doubt it, but honesty, many systems can do inference pretty well, like how I ran the MLX version of Qwen 3 4b with a DuckDuckGo search RAG, and used it to ask quick questions and verify some simple things, running on a MacBook Air m2 16gb, and barely made a dent in the RAM utilisation or SoC, and this also goes for my much less powerful machines, like even a galaxy a20, with 3gb of memory and a low spec octacore exynos, can run small models really well, although the quantisation needs to be a bit strict.

This but I’m Australian and it’s called “Reparations for Pine Gap”

Eh, I’d say it’s rad-ish.

Yeah, we’ll have to wait until 2032 for that AI toggle lmao

Windows is like that one artistic shit painting on a public stall door, you first think it looks alright, then realise it’s shit. Microsoft never changed from painting with shit to painting with acrylic, they just decided to change a small few visual features of that painting thinking we’d like it.

yeah happened around that time
