I consider open source already won. Gpt 5 was supposed to be a big step forward but it got smoked in the space of a month. The only thing I’m worried about is the music models.
Meta basically stabbed all the big for profit companies in the back, and now China is walking towards what is left with a revolver. I feel like we got lucky tbh.
It doesn’t matter how the monopoly forms, Gaben is still one of the rat fucks profiting from it. He wouldn’t have been able to spend a billion dollars on boats if he wasn’t.
Whatever arguments you think you have, ask yourself first if they apply to Musk or Bezos. They probably do.
Every company in a soft monopoly charges the industry standard, that is how soft monopolies work.
They all stop charging what it’s worth and pick a number together that equals maximum profits.
And collusion with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.
He charges 30% like the rest of them, he isn’t trying to compete.
Valve encourages and keeps the system broken just as much as Microsoft or Nintendo does. They all try really hard not to compete.
They do have high salaries, but it’s also a ridiculously small company for the money they make. Gaben is still making money hand over fist, and the employees making big money are all on the admin team.
Steam could charge a 5% fee and give the rest to developers. The services and salaries would still stay the same. It would give Gaben enough money to cover his billion dollar boats fleets maintenance cost, just not enough to buy himself a new yacht every two years.
He spent a billion dollars on boats.
Gabe’s fleet of yatchs is worth about 1 billion (6 boats and a sub or two). The yearly maintenance cost is estimated to be between 100 to 150 million per year. He essentially taxes a whole industry and most gamers because the soft monopoly and collusion he has going on with Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo let’s him.
This is literally the definition of boot licking. Please try to think farther then the line his marketing team draws for you.
They are not intelligent at all, so applying such a study label is an anthropomorphic action.
God this drives me nuts. I also lose it when people call it a smart phone (it’s just a tactile screen dummy, it isn’t actually intelligent) or a hot dog. It isn’t neither good looking nor a dog.
I almost punched someone the other day when he started talking about cloud storage. Are people fucking stupid? You can’t host information and data in the sky, it doesn’t work that way.
If it does the job better, who the fuck cares. No one actually cares about how you feel about the tech. Cry me a river.
Some of us aren’t even have sex either, I just get no rewards.
I seriously enjoyed Prey, easily in my list of top movies from the past decade.
He was bred for war, but maybe he just likes to play retro games.
Did it hallucinate or make an educated guess?
So take this with a huge grain of salt but maybe a half step would be having someone take videos of the location and then viewing those. It might help you get a feel for it.
I have no idea if this is a valid idea, mostly basing it off of vets wearing VR headsets a few years back to try and cure ptsd.
≈ 22 per year per ip x 20 different ips x over 8 years.
There’s also like 70 000 people working for meta, so having 20 perverts that download a porn movie on their work computer every 3 weeks kind of tracks.
Strike 3 Holdings and Counterlife Media, which are known for popular adult brands including Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, and Deeper, filed a copyright infringement complaint at a California federal court. The companies allege that Meta downloaded at least 2,396 of their films since 2018, allegedly to aid their AI video training.
“[T]he small number of downloads—roughly 22 per year on average across dozens of Meta IP addresses—is plainly indicative of private personal use, not a concerted effort to collect the massive datasets Plaintiffs allege are necessary for effective AI training,” Meta writes
Looks great on a CV too
Ya, I guess there’s no harm to it.
It’s used to divide but I think it leans the opposite way in north America. The GOP wouldn’t have such a hate boner for it if it was pushing the same bullshit they are.
Hard to remember but I think a lot of pro Palestinian vids were on tiktok while the other social media sites were suppressing it when it all started. I only heard of this, I don’t have an account.
It’s leaning in Europe is well known though.
