And that’s the part I find funny. You simply cannot comprehend, or allow, that because I dissent from not just the current regime, but most administrations of the U.S., that I must be eating up the propaganda.

Its not even odd to you is it? The U.S.A currently has a very pro-Putin regime. Yet the U.S.A is doing exactly what you are pointing out.

I mean, fuck, the Trump family has made significant money IN Russia. The Kremlin, the sole authority in Russia could stop that cash in an instant. Why don’t they?

But I mention the cruelty of Putin, and you get all bent out of shape. Putin is a victim of western propaganda.

Do you need a list I have of 64 people who the Kremlin successfully assassinated? Or just the ones within Russia?

Like I said the last time we spent a week in a thread going back and forth, I can do this forever. You know I can.

You already established you aren’t American, and CERTAINLY aren’t culturally progressive. You claim it, every single time, say “we’re doing x.” “We do x.” You don’t even realize you’re on a European instance do you?

I didn’t claim Russia was doing SHIT this time. I merely responded that you claim Russia is a victim of the west.

Putin, and his Kremlin are the problem for Russians. Vladamir Putin, specifically.

The rest of the world worries about Russians because of what Putin has done to them to enrich himself.

Hey man, I’m just saying, maybe Putin shouldn’t have orchestrated apartment bombings, sold former soviet assets to oligarchs, own several luxurious properties throughout your country, had political dissidents and opponents assassinated (inside and outside of Russia) took extreme efforts to install pro-Putin leaders in other countries, make all displays of LGBTQ pride and education illegal, control the entire media system, and not relinquish power ever.

Hi Mr. Local Area Man. Funny of you to show up in yet another thread claiming that Russia is being preyed upon by the west again.

He’s a Kremlin shill btw. Essentially pushing the the idea that Russia is nothing but a victim of the west, instead of a victim of the kleptocracy under Putin.

How horrifying is our dystopia when we grade our lives on how shitty they are.

Tbf I think its the context limit that makes things hard.

1m token context is so stupidly low for all of the input we consider and filter in real time.

Do you know how relieved I am to hear that?

When we started working remotely, I got started getting stuff done.

“Corprate run labor camp”

Isn’t that just like

A job?

That old cartoon show “Metabots” but they’re people in a computer cave lol

… what about private corporations? Thats the whole fucking problem.

Palantir can drop significant amounts of money to fight this, and keep loopholes open.

Why you people always gotta take everything as black and white. I use “bot” interchangeably with “shill.”

Edit: I see no one found the humor with switching the actual thing that is black and white in his statement (“Everyone I disagree with”) with the “bot” and “shill” thing.

Isn’t that something else? No matter where you are on the planet, if you know technology, you despise Windows.

It’s usually only the news subs. But if you make claims that counter Kremlin propaganda you can sometimes summon them.

Like if I just say Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, it won’t (why? Beats me). But if I say they are killing ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens as well as Ukrainian men, women, and children, then we have a good chance.

I got others if it doesn’t work.

Edit: (WITNESS ME! Lol) Edit 2: Now I’m impressed. I knew I could do it, I didn’t expect it to work quite so well. I’ll check back in a few hours.

Nope. software engineer/developer/programmer/webdev/ millions of names, so i just say software dude nos.

Edit: no. Software dude

Nope. NVidia has been making a shit ton of profit from the AI bubble.

That’s not the intended effect of a stock buyback.

In the world of High Frequency Trading, a stock buyback fucks everyone that doesn’t have HFT.

The intent of a stock buyback is an alternative means of divedend distribution, by causing the stock price to rise. It also allows the company to resell those stocks it bought back later to generate revenue if, and when, it needs it. It can also use that stock to compensate employees.

Its a good move for nVidia itself. It positions itself to continue to reap the benefits of the AI bubble as it has been doing all along. It also gives it a means of survival when the bubblr bursts.

Of the companies that aren’t hemorrhaging money its the hardware companies.

Personally, I’m generally favor of this move. Why?

When the bubble bursts, they can finally ditch the LLM market and go back to actual useful AI/ML & hardware.

Like, a startup my employer helped with is using AI to read biopsies and other medical imaging faster and more accurately than ever. The dataset it is trained on is enormous. Millions of images tagged only with the diagnostic information, all de-identified. A pathologist still has to sign off on it, and that pathologist is the point of accountability.

But the LLM companies need to die first. Hopefully this is a sign that the vortex is consuming the right antagonists.

It wouldn’t, which is why I roll my eyes every time I see a bill demanding what a VPN must do.

The only way for them to actually enforce this through VPNs is to block VPNs. Which, presumably, they’ll do at some point, but with an exception list for companies paying the right license fee to use a Government Approved VPN.

Which, obviously, will be full of security flaws, and likely won’t be HIPPA compliant or other compliances etc, etc.

I… did not get that out of white lotus at all
