Given how inflation works I’m surprised it’s that low. Last I checked my starting salary 25 years ago it’s almost exactly double that amount in today’s dollars. And I’m still probably 10 years from drawing social security. So yeah that’s just how it works.
This argument really doesn’t understand the concept of nuance. How many cameras would I have to put up before it’s not targeting? If I just happen to have enough cameras to capture every single path he takes is that targeting? Where is the line drawn? Almost all of the legal arguments were well before the technology we have today regarding retention and searchability.
And differentiation between the person and the law is inherently the problem. He was able to create this company because of the ambiguity of the law. If it were cut and dry they never would have risked the investment in the first place. Between the extensive network and the giant loophole of the third party doctrine, even though they market the directly to LEOs and the government, it all seems like a giant unlawful and unconstitutional government search.
I have no idea what the solution is but at the very least there should be accountability for improper searches and in my mind should require a warrant for EVERY search.
Here’s the thing, AI isn’t going away. Even when the bubble bursts, which it will, it’s a useful tool that can do useful things. I also don’t think in its current form it’s as useful or “necessary“ as the major tech bros want us to believe. I’d much prefer smaller models running on my hardware than just being controlled by a handful of those tech bros. But NVidia buying one of the major players in the local AI scene worries the shit out of me.
But AI is just a tool. It’s not good or evil. I can use a hammer to build a house or bash someone’s skull in. It’s not the tools fault either way.
Yeah I think the growth is going to be in these little models that think big. Like the Qwen3.8-flash idea. Using little tricks to make a small model perform better than it should. Localized AI is going to scale much better than being dependent on giant resource hogging DCs. And god forbid someone figure out how to chain these things together in some sort of peer to peer network utilizing all that processor time that goes unused throughout the day, like some sort of AI@home setup. Pretty sure that’s how Skynet starts.
I don’t think it’s a primary goal. But I can imagine several gaming companies thinking this is a great side effect. Make everything cloud subscription service.

Well if it was repeatedly into a concrete wall it eventually might be enough
Well I guess that MIGHT make me less atheist.

What’s below not enough? Asking for a friend.

Yeah they are definitely pulling a VMWare. Only big customers matter.
Fell wuck….
oh i know, I am an old IT guy who studied computer science in the 80s. Pretty sure that was in at least a few text books.
Nothing beats a good bloodletting.

This is making my brain hurt. Can we just use something like Reservoir Dogs names: Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, Mr Pink, etc.
At this point it’s sorta his brand.
This looks more like that Indian symbol I see around Diwali.
This just makes me miss my dog so much …
Mark Zuckerberg only pretends to care about anything.
Right there with you buddy. Since the mid 90s.
When your computer literally has a bug.
Oof… good one though.
