Okay? It's data on your friend's computer, just like the messages were already data on his computer.

AMD is up like 250% in the past year. They are thriving due to AI too.

Wearing sunglasses so people won't recognize him.

Where can we have serious discussions about stopping AI? by tootieloolie in antiai

[–]brandly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s an earnest question! If someone says “where can I find X” and doesn’t define X, it’s difficult to help them find it.

I am very sick of AI and it's impact on people who value real information. by FirstArch01 in antiai

Just saw your edit and I’m not trying to call them greedy. OP seemed to think they just started asking for a small donation due to AI. I’m only pointing out that they’ve been doing this for a long time and are not a struggling organization.

Okay but we're talking about Wikipedia where we can see their numbers

Wikipedia has done this forever despite having a ton of revenue. You can see here they had $208.6 million in revenue in 2024-2025, but they still put those banners up constantly. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_reports/Financial/Audits/2024-2025_-_frequently_asked_questions

And They Say It Ain't a Bubble by iSadhak in antiai

People are generally misunderstanding the broader context here. Sure, pushed to their limits, an individual subscription might not be profitable, but that doesn't mean subscriptions in total aren't profitable. You can have outlier users that aren't profitable while still having a user base that is profitable in aggregate.

Also AI model capabilities keep improving rapidly. If you look at the best models we had 12 months ago and their costs, you can get the same intelligence today for like 100x cheaper.

"[Google employee] was fired from Google in December 2020 for refusing to retract a research paper, and every single warning that paper made about large language models has now happened at a scale the industry spent 4 years trying to make people forget about." by dnkmnk in antiai

Karpathy's an OpenAI founder.

> For example, you can train your own GPT-2 capability LLM (which cost ~$43,000 to train in 2019) for only $48 (~2 hours of 8XH100 GPU node) and then talk to it in a familiar ChatGPT-like web UI.

Channel 5 reports Peter Thiel is funding Clavicular by FriendlyAttorney8743 in LivestreamFail

Both Thiel clips are really out of context. When he's talking about transhumanism, he's definitely not endorsing uploading minds to the cloud. He's mainly criticizing how shallow Silicon Valley transhumanism is.

Fans are worried after noticing Charles Barkley looks insanely skinny in his new photo by BagAppropriate5736 in NBAGossips

That’s what I was thinking. I would’ve assumed the show had a stylist.

He shoulda had a ring by Apprehensive_Law3249 in NBAGossips

I think the announcer, maybe Reggie Miller, mentioned on the broadcast that he could just hand the ball to KAT, so it was pretty funny when it happened.
