    It’s just a PR move because they realize they need to sell AI to the general public to let them build data centers and not just VCs and CEOs.

      Yeah, Sam Altman ran this ponze scheme all the way to Asia and the Middle East looking for investors and nobody would bite.

      Theres no chance a bunch of people with an average of $5k savings each can turn this around for him.

      Panic mode is still a few years away. Just wait, it gets pretty wild. Not fun wild, but it does get simultaneously violent & weird.

      Nothing like Terminator. More like teenage boys throwing controllers; only we & our beautiful planet are the gamepad being smashed against the drywall.

        Hopefully we learn about our collective power before it comes to that, but who am I kidding…

          Just keep caring. Stay informed. Collect books and uncorrupted data. Spread the word. Be good.

          That way, when inevitably this all goes wrong (as it always does), we have plenty of backup data for whatever eventually finds our remains ;)

      Man, I’m pretty sure Local LLMs getting better and more efficient would be one of the reasons why the bubble’s gonna burst. It’s still very technical, though.

        I mean seriously, just try ollama with lfm2 on a macbook with the current NPU… Why the fuck would I pay these clowns to run that process elsewhere? Why would I pay for model access when they’ve plateaued and open/free models are everywhere?
