someaccount1234··on OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra
Shouldn't it be able to generate an amazing visualization for that?

> Why does 'Chrome' need to survive as a standalone company? It never had a business model besides "support Google's monopolies", so it shouldn't survive (IMO)

You just explicitly claimed that Chrome has definitively a viable business model as a stand-alone company ("Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Definitely."). Now you claim the opposite...

Is the argument also as strong for the other cases?

It is explicitly unofficial.

But what when salaries would increase by factor 100-1000? This would make AI use even cheaper. (About as realistic...)

In this case there will be cheap inference hardware on the market as someone will sell all those assets. They don't disappear when a company goes broke (object permanence).

We could also speculate what would happen if all hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba, ...) would suddenly be broke. Again, about as realistic a scenario.

NetBSD has no alternative to Chromium, Firefox, LLVM, Rust or Python. They use AI-generated software too, including in the base system.

Then you cannot use Linux, Firefox, Chromium, Python, Rust, LLVM and so on. Hurd can't be used either.

Maybe you have to switch to FreeDOS?

No, otherwise one would have to remove the Linux kernel, the Hurd kernel, LLVM, Python, Chromium, Firefox, Rust and everything using these. And probably some more.

Given almost all people here cannot vote, does this mean you posted non-AI-generated slop?

Wouldn't it be better to reduce slop, no matter how it was produced, instead of only AI-generated contributions, including non-slop contributions?
