That works for a phone or a laptop when the manufacturer expects you to upgrade every few years. An average house might have dozens of different items, each with its own battery with different size, capacity and discharge needs. Its already hard to track down replacement batteries for older model phones and laptops, and its going to be ten times worse trying to find just the right battery for your specific model of printer or coffee machine years after its left production. Are appliances just supposed to be disposable now, or is it just a gimmick for the first couple of years you own something? In either case, it doesnt seem like the savings to the power grid could possibly justify the expense or the waste.

And the batteries wont last nearly as long as the fridge should. Do you just toss the whole thing when it starts defrosting every morning at 2am?

From what Ive seen Deepseek is particularly prone to hallucinating and is extremely suggestable. It just thought it knew what you wanted to hear and said that, then got confused trying to justify what it had said.

It comes in different versions, some of which are enormous and some that are pretty modest. The thing is they are not competing with 4o, but with o1, which has really massive resource requirements. The big news this week was supposed to be o3 opening up to the public, which involved another huge resource jump, and set a clear trajectory for the future of AI being on an exponential curve of computing power. This was great news for companies that made the parts and who could afford the massive buildout to support future developments. Deepseek isnt so much disruptive for its own capabilities, its disruptive because challenges the necessity of this massive buildout.

As we move forward with AI integration its going to be harder and harder to draw that specific line.

Sisko was obviously space Moses, not space Jesus.

Most of the companies/ceos doing this over the past few weeks do know better. That’s why they didnt say anything earlier. The reason they would be publicly taking this stance now is that they either expect to be rewarded by the incoming administration, or they hope to avoid punitive retaliation.

The president does not grant statehood. Only congress can do that.

You are ascribing a lot of human reasoning and emotion to corporate entities they they just dont have. Gratitude is not part of their decision making process. Instead, they might attempt to use past behavior to predict future behavior when evaluating an outlet for their marketing budget. They arnt going to prefer an outlet that occasionally burns advertisers, even if the benefited from it once.

DIdnt work out so great for Snowden either.

Who left Odo out of this love hexagon‽

That was reposts as well. Its not like anyone was wasting their life making fresh Facebook grade memes for that that cesspit.

The problem is I dont think many of the accounts really care if their total account activity appears organic. They are mostly there to create volume, sometimes to puff up activity metrics, to amplify specific points and narratives, or simply to shut down conversation if it strays into the wrong topic. They know Reddit doesnt actually want to stop them, and the individual accounts rarely say anything interesting enough to justify human users taking the time to evaluate their post history.

This!

It makes sense that a vote based platform, where users encounter direct positive and negative reinforcement with every interaction, would tend to developing repetitive conversation patterns over time, even if it were populated entirely with humans.

I would bet the actual number of active bot accounts is probably lower than many people think. Maybe 20-30%. Those accounts are more active than humans though, maybe accounting for half of all the posts. Many of these bots arnt even proper LLMs, they are just scripts recycling generic comments, catch phrases and old memes and upvoting each other endlessly.

It was largely a bit. John Candy was more what would have been considered abnormally fat at the time.

Now you cant help but believe you deserve this hellish existence you brought on yourself.

And prescient com badges.

Edit: Im sure the com badges can also recognize Rikers ass.
