Not true. Maybe you're thinking of computer games? Inference requires much less energy per user session than a session of your average AAA game title. And there are more active gamers at any time than active ChatGPT users.

Haha, making better compression algorithms is a detriment to society, I love it. Finally. Getting those bastard HEVC devs behind bars is a lifelong dream of mine.

Wait until you hear about Germany, where you have to pay a fee on all data storage media because it's possible that you might use it to copy something. It's awesome.
Edit: I apologize to the French people. I did not intend to disrespect your innovations.

You go there every day, and they give you money. It's not great but it's just a job after all. It's quite weird because they expect you to do something for at least 20 hours every week, sometimes even more. It's not easy to keep up.
They made me come in on a Wednesday last week, and I was like "Whaaat?", I'm not doing that for 250K/month, like are you kidding

Yeah, it's pretty weak from the CEO, bowing down to the morons. I will not move away because I've never used them, just like you, but let me tell you, I'm angry. And I want you people to know it: look at how angry I am. Such a good boy.

Re:The arguments against open source AI are bad
on Thursday July 23, 2026 @05:33PM (#49028363)
I agree with you in general, it's not "Open Source". But in many cases you're allowed to fork them, and create and distribute derivative works (finetunes) from open models, and the training and inference code is also permissively licensed. That's not shareware.
And working with the binary weights of a huge pretained model is much easier and cheaper than doing it based on the entirety of its humongous source datasets.

In case someone wants to see for themselves how "instantly" it really was. Skip to ~9:50 when it gets real sluggish.
Edit: if you don't wear nostalgia glasses, you can watch the bits of screen being redrawn piece by piece after something moves or a menu closes. Everything is flickering. Opening and closing a menu takes up to one second. The text being typed in the editor lags. This is not more responsive than a modern system, far from it. Obviously.

Looking at actual reality and saying "this is so detached from reality" means that you are the one who is detached from reality. You might want to get out of those echo chambers where everyone agrees with your opinions. Or don't, who cares what you think.

No.
You can look at the stock market and accept it as reality. Because is is, in fact, reality. Just look at it.

It would make sense if there was any activity on that older post. A 12 hour old post with no comments is dead, linking to it is a waste of time, especially for those who click on it to find 0 comments.
I did click on your link, it was a waste of time and that wasn't very nice.

It's baffling how almost no one here ever speaks out against it. Everybody just puts up with it even though we all know what a sign of arrogance and incompetence it is to attempt to alter post titles in this clumsy, embarrassingly broken way. Everyone is just silently looking at their feet in second hand embarrassment and doesn't want to speak up. And the funniest thing is: there is an official rule that says not to edit the original titles. Amazingly bizarre.

Non-commercial license, you should not call that "open-weight". Words have meaning.
