with AI. The frenzy is real, people died some became rich. Most of those who became rich in the gold rush were the merchants that supplied the miners. But if all you a doing is spending your strength trying to out travel the other guy to the claim, you might want to think about what you are doing, because most of those guys didn't win.

and the value of bitcoin is hype. If you can't keep hyping it then the value falls. The last peak was fueled by the election and the hopes that it would go to the moon. But the problem is after the optics fall away from BTC the value drops and when it drops the more the hype fades. So if you want it to go up, keep hyping it, but I suspect that after a while people will get tired of the whole thing after a while you burn through people who lose money and won't touch an investment again.

they have wasted money on things not relating to education. If they could cut costs, then more people would be interested. It doesn't make as much financial sense for someone to go to school. Would you spend +60k/yr to get a job for sub 100k?

so there are tools that don't need changing. Software needs to get a clue on that.

Must have subscriptions as far as what? Netflix?

for people to go bankrupt. It does enable them, but last time I check most everyone is responsible for what they spend. If you are stupid enough to fall for the commercial machines that are slurping up money then you are that stupid. If the majority of people would push back on companies instead of accept whatever they want to charge, then we wouldn't be where we are at today with enshitification

Because they will replace that chip in 2 to 3yrs?

VPNs aren't hard to you or I but they are for the average consumer

Aren't scraping requests. I keep getting blocked by cloudflare and it sucks, it happens probably 1 out of 50 sites on multiple machines. They still can't recognize between power users and AI.

boils down to security and being able to punch through firewalls and NAT which are almost always internet facing in a average home consumer network. Really there should be a protocol to solve this problem that is industry wide. I should be able to talk directly to my home network without having to having to connect to a server to route data through that. The solutions now are to create a VPN, but it should be simpler than that. I should be able to securely talk to my home network and punch back through that firewall if I have a token or auth and I should be able to easily generate that auth and I should be able to know where my home network is from the outside.

If someone could solve this problem, it would considerably reduce costs for consumers, because it would take the servers and control of companies out of the loop. You could talk directly from your phone to the home network without a server in between. They need to develop a protocol for this and make it a standard on home networking devices.

Right, but they probably track location an other metrics outside of the device. That data is to valuable to not track and serve up ads, arguably for any company.

Yeah, and how many of those users would pay for an LLM if forced to? They haven't monetized it yet, I do see people using AI. I don't see companies buying AI employees to do their work in the next 5 years. The AI industry does. If we don't have AI that is AGI (whatever that means) in a year an a half, the bubble pops.

Meta's primary method for revenue is controlling users and serving them ads. I predict that they won't be able to understand hardware enough because they are so focused on other things. Making their products shiny won't give them an edge over apple, which protects users and their data to some extent (at least from other companies, so they can have all the data for themselves).

Because I hate commercial companies and the way they behave, if people would actually respond by dropping the service in high enough numbers, they would not do things like this.

You don't need it. I don't have it and don't need it, you can too. You will save money and sleep, and hit Netflix in the pocket book.
