it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.
A CPU-cycle requires energy no matter where it is. The open source models may be more efficient, or you may distribute the power usage over a greater geographical area. But you’re not using less energy because you’re running the model at home.
Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.
I do like the idea that open source will kill tech giants.
Maybe I should start running ads on my jellyfin server. Something like “want unlimited bluey for a weekend? Clear and load the dishwasher twice this week”
Or “want +16 content? Start being an adult and use the toilet brush”
He should be calling it “metAI” in anticipation of its upcoming “success”
Nice try, I still ain’t gonna pay. OpenAI can go bankrupt without burning my money
I’m forced to at my job. It’s either outlook or outlook online, no third party clients.
Nice try, I ain’t gonna pay anyway
I bitched and moaned when office 2007 came out. Stupid ribbons. Still hate that shit. Only thing MS office has going for it, that I haven’t found elsewhere, is collaboration and Danish grammar check. I haven’t found proper grammar check in my native Danish yet, outside of ms office that is. But if my job decided to ditch its pricey office subscriptions, I’d be cheeringly installing libreoffice.
I do hope I get a chance to retrieve all my emails when I get shut out for raising an arthritic middle finger and telling Google to go fuck themselves when asked for ID. I got my gmail account when people still paid for invites. How can I be underage? I wasn’t even underage then.
I rely on Android Auto in my commute. A couple of weeks ago maps wasn’t displaying correctly, so I rebooted my phone. All of a sudden assistant was replaced… 30km later I pulled over and switched it back.
If I’m writing an SMS, I want it written, not start a dialogue with some temu hal9000 clone.
Gee Mr Gates, that’s a nice monopoly you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame, if that anti-trust lawsuit the AG is researching were to happen to it…
Does test mode unlock without the key?!? So it’s just “encrypted” with a generic key, and the unlock key is for authentication? That sounds insane, even for microsoft.
*pleasantly surprised.
Ask Jeeves was a remnant from a bygone time of static html 4.0 pages, <blink> tags, and view counters. It was a simpler time, perhaps even a better time. But I’m glad this memory didn’t have to get tarnished, with the mid 2020s tech du jour.
their own department of war
New York has a departement of war?
It’s the EU trying to read everyone’s chat messages because .001% of the population might use the technology for sending CSAM.
That’s only the excuse the politicians are using. In reality there’s a combination of intelligence services and datamining operations pushing for scanning ordinary law-abiding citizens communications.
Someone who don’t want to lose their emails… In https://lemmy.cafe/comment/15974964 it was mentioned that their entire google account got banned for 10 years over adblocking youtube. I stopped watching youtube immediately… I’m not about to watch ads, but I don’t want to lose access to my 22 year old personal account… So many accounts are tied to that address, that I can’t manage to move to a different service.
FML what happened to “do no evil”? Now it’s “make money with the baby grinding machine for all costs”
But it also breaks/weakens the android security model, where apps can do, store or transmit stuff protected from the eyes of the user of the phone.
Which just sounds insane to me. It’s security through obscurity, which is in and of itself a bad plan, to protect 3rd parties against you … on your own frigging device.
Remember when you used to host your own citrix? Pepperidge Farm remembers
I looked it up at a local refurbished phone dealer. A pixel 9a with 256GB storage in “excellent” condition (the second best condition) is 500€.
Who in their right mind pays that for a phone? New or not, that’s just insane. My current android has twice the storage, 50% more memory, waaay better display, and a larger battery that can charge faster, and it was just 200€ with no contract. only downside is that I can’t get a different ROM for it.
It’s a racket, plain and simple. There used to be laws against this sort if thing.

I hope that it was worth it, and that America is great again. Let me just check some news articles… Oh my
IDK at the current price trend, maybe we’re approaching a point where having sweatshops make ferromagnetic memory modules in GB sizes is feasible. I’d better start building a couple of hangars for my GPU memory.
Some Oracle hr droid tried to hire me fresh out of university. It’s been “some” years, and I’ve never heard anybody saying that I was a fool for turning it down.
