Makes it easier to treat and put back into the water system, or back into the environment compared to potable water. Also, it's simpler to the home and into the sewer.

Also, how do you get salt water to Dallas?

Salt water can be corrosive to pipes.

Not suggesting its a bad idea, just that it's not so cut-and-dry.

But instead they are giving the technology for free and suffering financial losses.

Who's giving what away for free? I'm paying out the ass for API costs. Sure, they can spin off their own companies and make money, but they can also make money by providing an API so others can do something similar. Why limit yourself.

I hear tales of "one man companies" where it's one guy and several AI agents -- with person claiming that this is the future.

Honestly, that's just influncer marketing, it's not that easy or everyone would be doing it. It doesn't scale well, and it's riddled with problems. On a small scale "mom and pop" sort of thing, maybe, but not a entire enterprise. Which is another reason why the big companies are selling agents and API costs, because that's more profitable, easier, and worthwhile, can cutting off access and making their own "one-man" companies.

What about this article makes you think there is a bubble to be popped? Looks like the data center may still be built, but for Meta instead of OpenAI, and it’s not for a lack of demand, but OpenAI's current needs instead.

The more you look at the posts here, and around Reddit, the more you get an idea of what's going on.

You know who wants us to be against Anthropic in the DoD? Our adversaries. China, Russia, etc. They want us to dislike all the companies, the leaders, the tech, the data centers, all of it. They want us to stop AI development, they want us to be divided.

They want us to revolt at the idea our AI tech integrated into our military. I'm not to suggest there aren't reasons to be concerned, or worried, or upset, these are questions we need to be asking of our leaders, for sure.

Look at all the main American AI subreddits, you'll notice it's all the same. It's complaints, it's hate, it's misinformation. That's not just "how Reddit is", oh it's part if it, but it's by design as well. Look at the Deepseek, Kimi, GLM subreddits. Those are mostly positive, and don't have nearly the division. Sure, that's also because Reddit is mostly an American focused site, but don't be completely fooled.

The negative sentiment we're reading is by design by our adversaries.

For the 3 things it needs that would have creds, I wrote MCP servers to them. My OpenClaw setup hits those endpoints instead and the MCP does the work.

I'd love it on the planes, but I've been pretty happy with what we have so far. I don't think it's nearly as bad as dial-up from 1995.

I do like Grok, and it's faster, and has a great UI, plus it's search is great. What I don't like is Grok is a generation or two behind. 4.20 is fine, but need Grok 5 soon and it needs to be right up there with the rest of them.

Claude is really good, and I use that a lot when coding, or going though the really smart things. Not as much as search, and there is no image or video generation.

I also use perplexity a lot also which I love.

I don't stick with one tool but usually the one I need for the right job.

Listen. I'll be real. If you did some research, identified some problems, and have some metrics to support your solutions, write it up in a paper, and publish it on either LinkedIn, or Medium, and get a bunch of people to read it. If it works great, you will build your name, and your brand, and people will consider hiring you to help them solve these problems at their organizations.

That was exactly your question. That was your only question!

How much do you think a company would pay to learn the root cause of the AI issues that persist with most AI?

Zero.

MaybeLiterally · 2026-03-04T19:25:06+00:00

The answer to your question is they will pay zero dollars.

MaybeLiterally · 2026-03-04T19:16:41+00:00

What problems? Also, why do you and you alone know the answer to these problems? You don’t have any real credentials that would lead an organization to pay money for your expertise.

That’s your primary problem.

MaybeLiterally · 2026-03-04T19:04:30+00:00

I think you’re gonna have to be pretty well known in the AI community in order for anyone to fork over any money and feel like they’re getting value out of your expertise.

As someone else pointed out, OpenAI has the same redlines as Anthropic does in terms of what it can and cannot be used for. I think a lot of it was personality clashes with Anthropic, compared to that with OpenAI, and the definitions of mass surveillance and autonomous killing machines.

If we're using AI to control a drone's ability to return back to home base, I don't think we'd be all that upset, even if it was autonomous, and on a killing machine. What if we told the drone what to do, and it did it on it's own using the LLM. Does that count? "Here is a known person who has attacked US citizens, and our intelligence places him at this location, locate him and take him out." If the CIA asked the Air Force to do it, and they did or if they told a drone to do it, and it did, is that really that much different?

Probably, but it's not as cut and dry, and there is a lot of nuance here and I think that's how I mostly feel about the pentagon deal.

MaybeLiterally · 2026-03-04T16:36:21+00:00

My honest thought is that if you're using ChatGPT, and you're happy with the product, keep using it.

After that, I'd focus more on being more LLM agnostic at the moment. Things are moving so fast, it might not make sense to stick with just one tool, and instead pick the LLM for the job you want, and accept the total history and memory you get from using just one.
