Basically its a calling for DEI in Kpop. They did that and failed many times. Racial diversity in Kpop is just not popular. Koreans dont care and neither do fans of Kpop.

ive lost all faith in my own country. there is no leadership, no rules, no regulation. UN called Canada a "modern serfdom with slavery"

This will just force AI jobs to go outside America or any jurisdiction that imposes unenforceable, draconian enforcement on generative AI

Countries without such oppressive laws will ultimately end up being able to generate faster amounts of synthetic data which will give them an edge.

This will impact researchers who will also move to institutions that can't be lobbied by zealous copyright laws.

All in all, the government and copyright laws should not belong in generative AI but only market forces.

For artists complaining about their style or work being used without their permission, they forget that their entire industry is rife with "liberal inspirations" including their own that they have "stolen" subconsciously and consciously

sim crowd seems to disagree

its incredible how different the West is to Japan

the lack of judeo-christian moral nannyism hardly means a dangerous society but a peaceful one

just look at all the accusations on X and calling Japan weird and worse

UI needs work

you are reading too much into Meta. They arent the NSA

premium revenues make up like a low single digit % of Twitter's pre-privitzation and its not increasing, its falling.

Most people don't want another subscription per month just to use social media.

ppl constantly accuse me of being an X/Musk fan but quite the opposite

I never bought his "I did it for the people" narrative his followers

He got a 96% haircut shortly after buying X. Now whether this was organized/planned I don't know (if it was then it needs to be addressed/discovered in court).

Tesla is struggling and his repeated disregard for securities law (probably thinking the MIC/SpaceX/Starlink will protect him from prison) is catching up with him.

With X liquidiation and Tesla securities fraud looming/flailing revenues around the corner, it could impact his tenure at his MIC ventures.

His support for Trump is also disingenuous and he doesn't really care for America he just wants a get out of jail insurance and taxpayer bailouts for not if but when Tesla comes under fire.

The pay-to-influence scheme with X Premium also has been nothing but disappointing in terms of revenues. Ad revenues are the life and blood of social media platforms, nothing else works.

Whoever buys X will be performing arbitrage essentially: The company was worth $50 billion roughly 3 years ago. It's worth somewhere around $4 or $3 billion realistically right now. If they can clean up the platform and lure back the advertisers which is very doable and re-IPO it would be a massive win.

what happens to the founders if they dont hit it

now if somebody can open source reimplement Rune which was made on Unreal Engine during this period

backend devs now do all of those now

I'm already seeing it. Our BE team is now expected to churn out FE applications.

BE will generate FE templates and to wire it up to the API they built

FE, designers are screwed. BE is safe.

but crud is only 20% of BE

rest is biz logic and workflows and those are tough

interesting...and if you have this type of revenue who do you approach

I stopped using Cursor months ago and dont think I will be coming back. For one, the software drains my laptop battery, I like the ability to reference files @filename but

claude.ai and aider has replaced the need for Cursor

creating another account with the same LLC probably triggered some flag

also removing the thread without any explanation like above was a bad PR move

but I agree theres lessons to be learned on both sides here and I just used the title OP used

Haven't used Midjourney since Flux dropped

this is also very interesting...not sure what parcel is for tho, just a quick way to get a server up and running?

whoa this is just like plasmo but open source and free ?

what is the difference?

gran turismo for me on PC online

maybe we can play gt2 remastered online

in BC almost all Teslas are written off as rebuilt titles drastically increaseing insurance premiums even for the slightest damage due to its battery

its flooded with everybody wanting to look cool and the price point makes it seductively cheap to own until the battery needs to go or your insurance thinks it will soon

used Teslas are filling up the lots with owners who are happy to get some of their money back

is there a free version of greptile

> dumb enough to go "let's spend tens of thousands of dollars on AI but not the Nvidia hardware"

thats not what was said here

the sweet spot is $9999 USD for 512GB unified memory

but that seems like an M5 maybe even M6

Currently its $5000 USD for 128GB on M3 I believe.

There just isn't anything good LLMs to run with current unified memory limits, especially 4090/3090s that can barely run anything special.

Many enterprises have bought m3s, setup their own sub 100gb VRAM gpu rigs but all in all report very little economic value being derived from it.

Even if local LLaMA's were as good as OpenAI or Anthropic, there is a disappointing lack of applications for it currently speaking with different users.

Curious to know if anybody has any counter anecdotes but really feels like AI winter is coming this winter.

but if Japanese developers are brilliant it doesn't make sense that there hasn't been wide success outside Japan like American software has.

I also used to think it was a cultural issue but I realized that consumer adoption cannot come without risk takers and also a prioritization from the government mainly the MIC which Japan lacks.

You really can't minimize the impact America's MIC had on software adoption the same way Japanese CCTV surveillance equipments were allowed to proliferate in China (it wasn't purely for profits to give you a hint).

Games or selling to consumers is a totally different line of business than enterprise software which Japan lacks talent or incubation for. There is just no upward mobility and little regard for software profession.

Line was made by Korean engineers and owned by a Korean company.

i-Mode is interesting but seems like there were no strides to innovate further than running a server side HTML application to proxy off of but Japanese consumers are unique in that they will put with mediocre or annoying.

I personally blame Son Masayoshi's monopoly and his close mindedness, too much focus on maximizing profits rather than innovation.

i've personally seen many hires out of China with red flags that my employers refused to acknowledge out of fears being labelled a racist or going against DEI policies.

all in all its a stupefying situation to see such a powerful industry succumb to subversion.

it may be too late to save American tech/capital. It has more than one master now and it does not benefit the American people or America.

did we watch the same video?

hardly the main point as those instances of piracy of IBM software was due to lack of proper trade laws

video points to cultural issue of not valuing software engineers due to many competing engineering fields around this time which were deemed more traditional
