Ok, but some of us actually want to do something useful instead of just try to win the trophy of making a model run on the cheapest hardware. Unless you're generating at least ~30 tokens / second, it's not useful.

There are only 6 billion internet-connected people in the world. They invested $2.5 trillion. Just to make the investment back, they need everyone to pay roughly $400 each.
If you want to split the cost evenly, sure. But a team of 3 people working at a software company today typically pays the AI companies about $5,000-$10,000 a month, so I don't think they need to rely on the parts of the world where $400 is twice their income.

Yes, most of the difficulty with wine is installing the windows applications, not wine itself. There are many knobs and compatibility options to adjust. Proton has done that for you for a huge number of the games in steam.

Musk is anti-humanist, otherwise he would be spending his money on people instead of hoarding his wealth for glitzy looking bullshit projects. SpaceX somewhat gets shit done in spite of him and Tesla is absolutely overvalued. Twitter is dead. Musk is a drug-addict and serial philanderer, who believes in his own genetic superiority.
The fact that Musk is "worth" so much is a solar-flare level indictment of the USA shell game known as the stock market imo.

Think about how incompetent your local government is at doing, well everything. My city takes 12 years to open a dog park in an open field, $16000 to put in a speed bump, $80 per injection at their safe injection site and $40,000 per bike in their ride share program. I'm sure that's about average for any socialists.

OpenAI are bullshitters and scaremongers, they make big giant scary claims about their product being vital or targets of nation states or some shit like that because it makes them money and makes people believe their product is somehow game-changing. All they have is a stochastic speech mannequin.

A student should understand what an LLM can and cannot do, but a CEO firing humans by the hundreds to replace them with premature ToddlerAI, somehow gets a pass?
We all know CEOs firing people in favour of implementing a more expensive and shittier option are idiots - I don't know who's giving them a pass other than other CEOs doing the same thing. It's a giant circle jerk of jerks.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI
https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."
Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning
Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.
"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."
"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

The way you describe it isn't really how it works. It doesn't rewire your brain in an active sense so much as introduce elasticity for your brain to rewire itself. This is especially useful when the brain has gotten itself into a doom loop of depression or anxiety. The psilocybin allows you to break out of the doom loop and start your brain on the path of healthy development.
That sounds great. However, anything that causes anatomical brain chages that persist after a month, with a single dose, would be, by me, considered unacceptably risky. I'm not saying that it's by default considered bad, both you and the paper are talking about positive changes, and that's good. I'm saying, "risky," as in, I don't know what negative effects haven't been identified and I'd need a much more complete understanding before I'd be willing to try it.
Most of the positive effects are in reported well-being, but I really want to see more cognitive tests. The tests on cognitive flexibility is a great start, but we really need a barrage of tests here: mathematical ability? Short-term *and* long-term memory? Spatial thinking? Are there *any* cognitive functions that are negatively affected here? It's important to understand this with anything that has this type of long-lasting effect.
