More like following the Computer Associates model, a tale as old as time. Find a mature platform with a captive user population with a fat, lazy management team, buy them out, slash headcount, and open the taps. Someone in the thread mentioned Atlassian, that is a perfect target for this kind of strategy.

Atlassian is too large. Also atlassian has been doing the same growing by acquisition for a long while themselves.

ca got out-ca'ed when broadcom (avago) bought them

You could just get the Magsafe battery though.

Sure and I did that, but I’d frequently forget it, it was annoying.

This strain of nihilism about anti-bot efforts baffles me. Cloudflare built a gigantic business on stopping DDoS attacks. There will never be good faith self-restraint by AI bros, there is too much money at stake and no regulation, doing nothing means your only alternative is disconnect from the Internet. Anubis introduces enough friction that some percentage of the lunacy is throttled and possibly give your server a fighting chance.

All you had to do was to identify this as AI authored since it was going to be obvious anyway. Still valuable to have someone post the write-up.

Fair. I’ll put a big banner at the top when I am at my desk next, so it’s obvious.

Not even trying to hide it though.

Banner added.

For the record - I used AI to add the banner too!

That's not what he's saying. He was doing this writing to communicate with other human beings, and that since that seems seemingly has died off in his community there isn't much point in continuing that.

It's great that there are people that enjoy being a training bot for a corporate product, but some people still want to talk to other people. And if a system ever becomes an AGI, I am fairly sure it will no longer need any human input, so our days as training bots are likely numbered. Enjoy it while you can I guess.

FWIW I feel more or less the same _and_ I think this gives society a solid ground for demanding some sort of collective compensation from AI labs, just like mining or oil companies pay for natural resources https://distantprovince.substack.com/p/the-past-is-a-natural...

The entire article is AI-generated.I wish such sources would include the prompting used as well as the model so a (human) reader can better evaluate the document.

Wasn’t Huang the guy who said your $500K employee should burn at least half his salary on tokens? I don’t think Nvidia is focused on cost-effective general computing for anybody.

It is possible to serve different markets with different agendas and have both of them serve nVidia’s business. Think of all the freemium software out there; widespread so everybody can use it, but the people who REALLY use it REALLY pay up.

Unless upstream introduces breaking changes I don't see why not. Google was killing this functionality for policy reasons, not because changes to the renderer required it or something. And LLM analysis is going to make maintaining forks easier going forward.

Google once again seems to have fallen into the pit of its own bureaucracy, even OpenAI looks competent by comparison.
