I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I’d played before with a twist.

Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing

If the question is how do you revive a company with a dead reputation and little sales like Kodak, but tailored to that case specifically:

Kodak, and every other retail company, creates products that rely on not only their product, but also their brand. Companies with semi useless products sell them all the time

K-cups, somehow took an infinitely reusable thing like a coffee maker and turned it into a tiny plastic trash cup Dasani water is awful tasting, terrible for the environment, and expensive, but they go where they’re needed

And a million other examples, selling a product isn’t about being the best or even having something good. It’s really a matter of branding and marketing strategy.

Rebrand kodak to a bespoke camera with a bunch of little camera accessories, a small preview screen but a bunch of little knobs, lean into the fact that it’s not a smart phone. Print on the device like those urban outfitter cameras, make a snapchat style camera that will only keep photos for a day, do something different and target a specific audience and they could be revived as something different. Work on making a camera that can’t be reproduced by ai, human authenticity fingerprints for images or something.

Kodak as it was will very likely never make a comeback. They didn’t keep up.

Sorry I know this is the onion, but legit talk, with what power? the democrats were unilaterally rejected from the government by the people, we the people made our bed, we can’t rely on those we chose not to elect to save us.

• powell ousted from the fed and govt seized control, leading to a massive change in fed funds rate
• prison for political enemies of trump, specifically schiff, pelosi, and a few of the louder voices in the room. Prison for some state leaders, MA and CA especially
• nationwide ban of gay marriage, nationwide laws against abortion
• capital gains reduced significantly, 20% now down to 10%
• vpn ban
• trump pushing for national acceptance of a cryptocurrency he has significant stake in, as an official act
• palestine, ukraine, and taiwan falling. Tremendous suffering continues or starts for the people of those nations
• Russia furthers its invasion into europe
• Muslims begin to be treated as scapegoats for trumps vitriol, the next victims after general immigrant deportations
• A new amendment to the constitution is proposed and passes to allow more terms for trump, with clearly questionable acceptance in state legislatures, perhaps under direct threat of jail

God I hope I’m wrong.

Short sighted idiots

Immoral? No, especially if they’re in an open relationship.

A little unusual? Yeah, I’d personally want to talk to the spouse one on one before ever agreeing to something like that. There are billions of people on the planet, surely there is someone that is available for you and not legally committed to somebody else

I’ve been running it locally using ollama, works completely offline, no keystroke data for anyone!

Do you think isolated communities could come up with reasonable resilience strategies? Can a mutual aid subculture exist for a long time within our current system as well?

More than fair, how much effort do we put in to make sure the ants have a comfortable life? Or even further, the tardigrades? I am on the optimistic side, hoping that a superintelligence holds a benevolent nostalgia/amusement for sentient life if it does indeed come to that.

There’s a chance that asi doesn’t happen and we stall indefinitely on a simple token prediction system, in which case the disruption could be limited to what we’ve seen already?

Irony lol

Sure, don’t feel too bad for him though, he did abuse her and his kids

In my younger life there was an older man who I spoke with quite a bit, an acquaintance

He spent about 5 years married to his first wife, who died.

He spent the next 30 years in relationships constantly pining over what could have been, never satisfied

Finally he turned 60 and his 4th wife got sick of him and divorced him

He was sad and lonely for 15 years after that, constantly sad about what could have been with his last wife, lost and not understanding why she left.

He’s married again now, at 75, and still talks about his prior wife.

Contentment is not found in relationships, it comes from within, and bubbles up to whatever situation you find yourself in. Don’t fall for the lie that you are a failure without a significant other.

That is a tall order, shorter perhaps than writing an opengl driver

Vulkan is incredibly verbose and well documented, have you looked at the spec?

We’re pathetically small and unintelligent on a universal scale, infinitesimal and unremarkable, it’s amazing we can think at all.

Unfortunately because we are meat with a lil lightning in it that grows naturally instead of being designed and perfected our brains are simply not truth machines, just like LLMs hallucinate, so do we, constantly.

Try to have some patience with our sibling humans who have the infection of superstition. They didn’t choose it, we all have our foibles, theirs are just a bit more visible and easily turned to hate

I do this on my ultra, token speed is not great, depending on the model of course, a lot of source code sets are optimized for Nvidia and don’t even use native Mac gpu without modifying the code, defaulting to cpu. I’ve had to modify about half of what I run

Ymmv but I find it’s actually cheaper to just use a hosted service

If you want some specific numbers lmk

Deepseek v3 is the model in question

They’ve already started testing that at Google For ad enhancement and For immersive ads there’s no way they keep the chatting models pristine and ad-free

The dystopian future of “pay to use this miraculous product or it will shove advertisements down your throat in a way we know will work because we’ve trained it to sell specifically to you”

llama is good and I’m looking forward to trying deepseek 3, but the big issue is that those are the frontier open source models while 4o is no longer openai’s best performing model, they just dropped o3 (god they are literally as bad as microsoft at naming) which shows in benchmarks tremendous progress in reasoning

When running llama locally I appreciate the matched capabilities like structured output, but it is objectively significantly worse than openai’s models. I would like to support open source models and use them exclusively but dang it’s hard to give up the results

I suppose one way to start for me would be dropping cursor and copilot in favor of their open source equivalents, but switching my business to use llama is a hard pill to swallow
