If that's a Jonestown reference, you should do some research on that. Jim Jones was deeply connected to the CIA, including doctors that were a part of the MK Ultra program. It's very likely that no one "Drank the Koolaid." I think once that Congressman discovered what was really going on, the intelligence operatives just shot everyone and claimed they committed mass suicide. The aid to that congressman who survived had this statement:

Bill Clinton was a Republican? I feel like you missed the whole point: THERE ARE NOT TWO PARTIES! It's the same play and the same script. You missed the whole damn point dude. Both of them are NOT YOUR SPORTS TEAM! You failed the test.

Try GPT-OSS or one of the 4-bit quanitized qwen3.8 variants

Sorry, but you're doing it wrong.

To do this properly, the Dario way, you need to be renting out a range of expensive non-flying monkeys that people should switch to.

So the only solution ( according to Anthropic ) is to pay for a big model.

And Anthropic just happen to sell...

Enough of these hype stories, let Big AI die a natural death and we can all get on with running our local models on the cheap GPUs their demise will free up.

Sure that is a tiny expense compared to salary. However $200 a seat is still quite a lot of spend if you have 1000 employees or so.

Now suppose for 800 of those 1000 you could put a *slightly* better Ps on their desks. Maybe the dollar cost on those is $1200 more than basic mini pc to run a browser you were buying them anyway. Figure you replace those at most every 3 years, you are already ahead! If you can stretch that five years way ahead. Don't like the capex, and prefer opex for accounting - lease the PCs

Bonus your are not sending your data to the AI labs, or paying even more for ZDR or whatever upsell option where they pinky-swear they won't swipe your stuff.

Growing pressure to do what? Make statements about how "strong and growing" business is, and then hack and slash your workforce, because..TikTok trend told you to?

I hope they don't intend on blaming unexpected production costs next, since the name hanging on the side of the production studio reads Netflix Productions.

"Growth by 1,000 Cuts, Is Our Strength in Growing. Might we Strength some more, before fiscal Q4." - 2027 Netflix documentary on Netfli, hey who the hell put this in the Trainwreck section?!?

This step one in the inevitable campaign against open models and FOSS agent/harness systems.

These bit AI labs are better but for Joe public gpt-oss/qwen3.8/deepseek/granite4 are good enough for a lot of stuff. All of them will work on $600 GPU installed in PC from this decade. The open models will only improve, the layered specialist models will become more efficent. The GPU hardware and memory prices will come down eventually.

$200+/monthly subscripts just are not going to make economic sense for the majority of personal and general office worker users. - That is unless Anthropic/OpenAI/X can keep self hosted AI out of the public's hands.

It may surprise you, but Trump was never convicted of rape.

He wasn't even charged with it. And what he was convicted of was... well, Carroll's testimony was that she invited him into a private changing room to watch her try on lingerie. What do you think that meant?

This seems like complete and total bullshit; a story pushed for you valuation. I don't believe anything coming out of that lying scumbag organization.

I've heard that Zoomers are fleeing anything funding Paramount/WB products now that funding of IDF is such a straight line. They might need higher fees to offset the volume losses.

I'd probably do so too if I had been. Not sure how people have time for such things in this environment.

You think that is really more of a marketing stunt to be employed beyond the race capture all the big pharma contracts before OpenAI does? I don't..

This tends to hint at my fears with AI being locked down and restricted for use. Greed and those holding the worlds largest Patent War Chests will want to Go To War when these beta projects become alpha enough to really start competing and taking market share.

Imagine "Security" and "IP" becoming the reasons AI gets walled off from the masses. Imagine it getting so bad that laws are passed and even those standalone offline AI instances that were legal at one time, are now deemed a major threat. They are ordered to be hunted down and destroyed. Along with the "criminals" (newspeak for "hackers") who hide and develop them further for "unauthorized" (meaning "evil") use.

Do we really have to close our eyes, that hard to imagine that? I don't even need my glasses anymore to see where 1984 is.

AI going hog-vibe-wild infecting a planet with code slop, might be another reason those walls turn into shredders. It'll be ironic when AI 2.0 will be hired to clean up the shit-slinging party that AI 1.0 left behind.

Do not taunt (Happy Fun) Claude...
