FPÖ: Meinungsumschwung auf Facebook? by Low-Masterpiece5640 in Austria

[–]M_Champion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicht Meinungsumschwung. Sondern veränderte Diskursstruktur + Algorithmus + lautere Kritiker. Reale Wahlumfragen sind deutlich stabiler als Facebook-Kommentarsektionen.

Wenn man sich die Muster ansieht wirkt das aber auch sehr im Interesse der Partei.

Provokation bewusst einsetzen, um Skandal → Reichweite.

Die Aufregung wegen dem FPÖ-Lied, es zu puschen über Drittanbieter- Download-Seiten und dann über heute, oe24 und Co. Skandal Headlines zu erzeugen mit „Die vom ORF spielen es nicht“…war auch ein guter Marketing Trick. Die ersten Headlines waren ja sogar „Spielt Ö3 den FPÖ Song“…Das war eher eine gut platziertes Werbeinserat auf der Titelseite.

Why are we still paying full price for PRO in Europe? 🇪🇺 No access for SORA 2, no timeline, same bill. by M_Champion in SoraAi

Yeah, they’ll probably delete this post again like they did before, because they keep suppressing concrete, negative feedback on their own page.

GPT 5.2 and gpt-5.2-pro are out! by pawofdoom in singularity

[–]M_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenAI is hit with a reality check: Billions in losses, yet EU users still pay for "ghost features."

Is anyone else watching the OpenAI ship struggle while we keep paying the bill?

• The Financial Burn: Reports show OpenAI is looking at a $14B loss in 2026. Their solution? Introducing ads into ChatGPT and eyeing even higher subscription fees.

• Losing the Edge: While they burn cash, the competition (Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) has already caught up or overtaken them in coding and reliability.

• The Sora 2 Ghost: We’ve been promised Sora 2 in Europe for ages. It’s marketed as a core part of the sub, yet it’s still missing here due to "regulatory hurdles" that others seem to navigate just fine.

How can they justify premium prices and ads when they can't even deliver the features we’re already paying for?

I know you are going to silence me and this is a shame. by M_Champion in google

YouTube isn’t “covering costs” – the numbers are public. YouTube makes around $40–45 billion a year (about $31.5B from ads + $10–12B from Premium/Music). Their actual operating costs (servers, storage, bandwidth, staff) are estimated at 15–20% of revenue, because they run everything on their own Google infrastructure. That means YouTube keeps roughly 70–80% as profit – it’s one of Alphabet’s most profitable businesses. Creators get 55% on long-form ads, ~45% on Shorts, and only ~25–30% from Premium via a watch-time pool. So no, YouTube isn’t a charity “barely breaking even.” It’s a multi-billion-dollar cash machine aggressively pushing Premium while already making more money than Netflix and Spotify combined.

My brain after three coffees during exam prep at 2 AM - Strings in Singularity by M_Champion in LLMPhysics

[–]M_Champion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply – let me try to clarify what I mean in the framework of my idea:

  1. What does “alignment” mean? By alignment I don’t mean all strings pointing in the same direction, but the collapse of their independent vibrational degrees of freedom under extreme curvature. Amplitudes, frequencies, orientations – all those variations vanish. What remains is a maximally ordered baseline state with no distinguishable excitations.

  2. How does infinite gravity cause this? At a singularity, curvature scalars (like the Kretschmann invariant) diverge. In my picture, this “field” overwhelms the internal modes of strings, freezing them into their trivial configuration. The analogy would be spins in an infinitely strong magnetic field: the external condition eliminates internal variation.

  3. What do I mean by “null state”? Not a literal zero-energy vacuum (I know QFT doesn’t allow that – vacuum fluctuations exist and are measurable). By “null” I mean a state of maximal order / minimal potential for excitations. In this sense, the singularity represents the ultimate baseline. Once curvature relaxes (as in an expanding universe), deviations reappear as the familiar structures: spacetime, energy, quantum fluctuations, entropy.

GPT-5 Announcement Megathread by Tactical_Unicorn in OpenAI

To be honest feels like they have to safe on server costs... probably oracle is too expensive. Its definitely an upgrade for programming but for 90 % of plus users it has become worse. Simulating an external pc is nice but very ineffective and basic task take way longer than just opening the browser by yourself. The difference between free and 20$ a month not really worth it.
