The problem with assholes like YOU, is that you think you have it all figured out. I've got to assume you think Amazon Web Services, Apple, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, Microsoft, and NVIDIA are all being run by retards who haven't got a fucking clue or who are easily conned.

You think that just maybe at least a few of those companies saw something that they considered legit?

If it was just Anthropic.. that'd be one thing.. But it isn't...

Cloudflare: Reported using Mythos to find 2,000 bugs (400 of which were high or critical severity) with a lower false-positive rate than human testers.
Mozilla: Claimed to have found hundreds of vulnerabilities in their codebase using Mythos.
Anthropic: Announced that, overall, testing partners discovered over 10,000 serious software flaws in major operating systems and web browsers, with 90% validated as true positives.

I suppose Mozilla is full of shit?

No and no.

A company can sell non-voting shares. A company doesn't have to sell 50% of its available stock. And that constant B.S. you hear, from morons on Slashdot, that a company is obligated to maximize profits, is pure bullshit.

That like the lefty cunts who've been demanding renewables and now oppose every single fucking renewable project? Literally 100% of the planned Solar / Wind / Hydro projects in my area have extreme Democrat opposition to them. They don't want them in the desert (tortoises). They don't want them on the rivers (fish). They don't want them in the scrub-lands (wildlife). And they sure don't want the fucking windmills (Raptors).

But every one of these cunts is voting for the assholes mandating electrical everything. New natural-gas appliances are banned, state-wide. New homes have to be 100% electric... Electric cars are mandated..

Democrats are fucking idiots.

I suppose that depends on what you consider to be expensive. I've got a $100/month account and haven't exceeded 50% usage ever.. And some days I might be using it for 5 or 6 hours with heavy interaction (code refactoring).

45 years.. Those Ayatollas have been running Iran for almost a half-century.

You want to talk about naive and stupid? Let's start with the assholes who think this "rebellion" was any different than the dozen that have occurred over the years. "Oh, this one is going to succeed!"

Meanwhile, not a single one of you fuck's countries have ever done a goddamn thing about Iran and its pursuit of Nuclear Weapons. A country that has made its INTENTIONS, regarding said nukes, crystal clear over the last four decades.

Go fuck yourself.

In this case it can. Answers are vetted by sub-agents. Up to 8 if you want.. All have to agree on the output.

They might be better off just closing Meta. It's an antisemitic Trash company run by a literal Neonazi.

Like when it was powering Hotmail and its several hundred million users?

I have no idea what your point is at all. Seriously, are you OK? Just to make it clear - I am against governments, I am against governments using any technology to make it easier for government to oppress people and this is one instrument of oppression.

And FreeBSD is different? OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD.. oh no! the fragmentation.

ANYBODY can spin up a distro. Of course there's fucking fragmentation. As for the package managers.. I haven't had APT break something in a DECADE at least.

Translation: I miss the good old days when Bill Gates was throat-fucking me.

Dude.. You don't want fragmentation and you don't want choice? Then head your ass over to Mac or Windows. They already exist.

Right.. Like CA's high-speed rail project that has ballooned from $4B to $100B because it is being managed by the state government?

Just say "I'm a socialist cunt" and spare the rest of us the drivel. You know what for-profit companies care about? THE FUCKING PROFIT. You know what government workers don't give a shit about? The expenses.. It's not their fucking money. It's YOUR money. It's MY money.

It's a simple solution, but one that NEVER plays out in states run by Democrats. "NO CONTRACT OVERRUNS. This is the budget.. If you bid on it, you better be able to finish it, or the excess is coming out of YOUR POCKET."

There are TONS of examples of for-profit companies being able to do shit way better and cheaper than the government.

It takes a special kind of retard to think the average politician, most of whom have never operated a business, somehow have fiscal knowledge the rest of us don't, simple because they have a what? law degree?

It's not that y'all are stupid.. You are.. But that's not the part that bothers me. It's that you're stupid and so fucking convinced you are absolutely correct, yet y'all constantly display you don't rely on facts for anything. You go with feelings and just make shit up.

So how can this be allowed if there is so much graft around this technology that is flowing through thousands of hands in the government offices?

Here is an example: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/news...

Executive Summary:
The objective of the HP-ITD program is to advance the
technological capability and promote the deployment of
intelligent transportation system applications for CMV
operations, including CMV, commercial driver, and carrier-
specific information systems and networks, and to
support/maintain CMV information systems and networks to
(i) link Federal motor carrier safety information systems with
State CMV systems; (ii) improve safety and productivity of
CMVs and commercial drivers; (iii) and reduce costs
associated with CMV operations and regulatory
requirements.

Eligible Applicants
1.1 General
The HP-ITD awards are available to States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. FMCSA may award HP-ITD funds to eligible applicants that have an approved program plan as
outlined in the Fixing Americaâ(TM)s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. Individuals and businesses are
not eligible to apply for HP-ITD funding.

This entire thing is premised on the idea that there will be *more* information available to the federal government to work with, not less. They are fully committed to using these ALPR cameras that are everywhere now to track everything all the time and to put every truck driver out of service for any inconsistency in their visual data and thus hand out more fines, more court time, more oppression.

This is just one single program, one example, there are so much more, there is so much money at stake, never mind the actual flock graft itself.

EXCEPT, spending next year is projected to increase by another $1 trillion over this year's spending. Okay, it's not 47% growth like this years projected numbers, but ~ +35% is still a significant rate.

This is my point. You're biased against A.I. That's fine. You don't need a reason to not like it, or maybe you have plenty of reasons. Equally irrelevant. The only thing that matters are the NUMBERS. You point to individual actions by companies and then have extrapolated that across the whole industry. You're either cherry-picking examples or you've got biased tunnel-vision.

Samsung is dumping $73 billion into AI in the next few years. While an impressive amount of money, it's a fact that means absolutely nothing to determining the course of the Industry as a whole. There's only two numbers you need to consider to determine what direction everything is going. Company investing and consumer spending. As long as both are headed up.... Well... that would kinda make anyone talking about the sky falling look like a moron.

Both are rising fast

As an aside.. ANYONE who thinks this shit is going away... is a fucking idiot. We may have years of greater spending, we may have years of lesser spending, but anyone who thinks that there will ever be a return to a pre-AI reality is delusional. We are in the absolute infancy of this space. Probably for worse, but we are right at the start of the next arms race. My guess is that the D.O.W (D.O.D) probably is already training their own models. And you can bet your ass that China's military is doing the same thing. Those two entities, alone, will drive a DECADE of spending.. D.O.D spending was what drove the entire super-computer industry for well over five decades. Hell, they're probably still the primary driver, but I'm just speculating on that. I don't recent data.

Cracks in the industry.... The only cracks are the rocks you must be smoking...

Full disclosure.. I pay for Claude Max.. So I'm not going to pretend I don't have my own biases. But they certainly didn't influence the results I obtained because I'm only looking at the 40,000 foot view. And that view screams spending for the foreseeable future, regardless of my own personal views. Numbers don't lie... Right?

Sure would be nice if you fucks understood what causes inflation....

Are you retarded? Deals fall apart all the time, you clown. That, by itself, doesn't mean anything to the AI adoption / expansion rate. Investments this year will surpass $2.5 trillion. That is a 47% increase over 2025. Where are the cracks? Anthropic just signed a massive deal with xAI to lease the entirety of Colossus I plus 300 megawatts of power for about $1.25 billion PER MONTH.

Pray tell, how big was OpenAI's order with SK Hynix?

Other than a failed / collapsed deal between OpenAI and Hynix, what other data did you look at? Where I'm from, 47% growth is considered pretty damn good. What part of the world do you live in where that is indicative of an industry beginning to teeter? Lichtenstein?
