For many additional reasons too, I'll never respect another "professional" US journalist as long as I live, I swear it will be my "I don't buy Japanese cars even though we're allies now"

There are already great open models, the VC ones simply have access to a lot more resources. And I don't see a good way for this cycle to wind down so much as crash in a way that makes '99 look tiny, nothing can absorb all that capital short of an alien empire to trade with

It's been fascinating to watch Linux and a lot of other open source start to overtake VC-backed tech. I attribute that to so many millions of hours wasted on Crypto, NFTs, and now LLMs.

I think it'd be hard not to, since the fervor around one is just the pining for the apotheosis of the other!

Non-extremists have been losing the "ability to communicate mass consensus" battle for quite a long time now

European governments, businesses and citizens should begin moving away from American technology services such as Microsoft and Amazon. They cannot be trusted.

People who aren't sniveling cowards can deal with reality and politics without imperialism. All empires are operated by pathetic people who'd be too afraid to live otherwise

That, combined with a society-wide erosion of workers' wills. They want that, in a sense, to be able to control people. In previous times, though, the average worker didn't need to execute a precise cybernetic practice to keep things going for the top to skim from.
