This one was never $35. The higher compute power and 16GB onboard RAM had the base price at $120 at launch.

This isn’t inflation, it’s billionaire-flation.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. Having Claude “play”-test a game 1200 times isn’t the same as having 1200 humans playtest something. It’s having one pseudorandom test 1200 times.

Also, isn’t the point of games that humans play them? That’s why it’s called a playtest. Humans play the game and report what they found enjoyable versus what needed work. The designer then gets to choose if adding units or balancing abilities is warranted. How would a machine know what an audience finds fun? How could it know what a dominant strategy might be? They don’t, and this idea that you can outsource creativity to AI is fundamentally flawed.

They mean specific ones.

Shares of CoreWeave were lower Wednesday, along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is headquartered in Texas.

The first sentence in the article says everything (else) is up overall.

Well yeah, this is a warning for investors. The rest of us are less than nobodies to them.

More like “subscribe in” so they can slowly but continually raise prices, continue to price out the consumer market, and ultimately decide who gets access.

Said something mean about oligarchs? Tried to sue one of their buddies? Promoted pro-worker ideals on social media? No computing for you, or maybe they hit just you with additional punitive hidden fees.

Blocking ad blockers is small potatoes for them. They’re going for the jugular.

Found their Github. Looks like it’s a custom Linux kernel…? I dunno, it’s really hard to tell directly; I’m inferring from context clues (like tagging Raspberry Pi, mentioning the open Nvidia kernel modules, etc.).

Famous for hiding business owners and shielding them from legal consequences. I haven’t heard about them being a tax haven; they just have a really thick corporate veil.

More of a digital homunculus.

I mean, saving subscription costs is one draw for me personally, but at that point it’s a matter of making up my hardware investment cost versus the subscription costs over time. This isn’t an instant money saver, and it never was.

Something something single point of failure.

OpenAI had their little failure of a presentation recently, and they’re introducing a “fast response” tier for 6x the current subscription cost. This is their attempt to get people used to higher pricing. They are bleeding money, and they will need to raise prices sooner than later to start attempting to make it back.

Once they do, a good chunk of their customers will simply stop paying, forcing the AI companies to further raise prices, causing more customers to leave, etc.

AI companies are trying (and failing) to be indispensable, and they need that to have any hope of survival. It’s only a matter of time before they collapse, and only then might we see what’s actually beneficial about machine learning.

Boo Cloudflare, but I still love the idea. Given that I’m not planning to turn in this current phone for a few dollars of “credit” when I need to replace it, this seems like a cool weekend project!

It’s simpler than that. Humans have a negativity bias, which has generally served our evolutionary ancestors by avoiding any “rustling in bushes” as potential tigers. These days, it’s weaponized by social media platforms and news outlets to seize people’s attention and manipulate their perceptions.

And given that most people have no idea how AI actually works, when the news reports the claptrap that the people making it are “”“worried”“” that their creation will imminently kill us all and please invest more money in this see how capable it is please god we are bleeding money, people take it as gospel that our demise is imminent and are looking for ways to avoid it.

It’s worse than that. Not only are people going with the AI Overview as gospel, the search results themselves have nothing to do with the normal SEO that’s been the standard for the last 20+ years. People are picking the AI Summary, because the search itself is fundamentally broken.

Gone are the days that website content + traffic determine the order or relevance. Now websites have to include specifically formatted fluff that the AI summarizers like in order to show as relevant results. Just ask Louis Rossman.

It doesn’t help that the people currently in charge are fucking stupid, trigger happy, and emotionally insecure.

To paraphrase Strong Bad: “Your [car] has too much computer in it…and not enough typewriter.”

More like somebody taught their calculator to spell OBOE ShOES. It’s still a calculator.

I read something similar more recently, and it was about $250k then. It’s probably even more at this present moment

1000% they are. Since bumper stickers, etc. commonly stay on a vehicle until the elements disintegrate them (vehicle or bumper sticker), and because they’re often uniquely placed, they’re basically unique car tattoos.
