    This reminds me of workers being paid in vodka during the USSR era. 😬

    I wonder if it’s a coincidence.

    The chief marketing officer for AI, Bill Ofgoods, thinks this is a great idea and the CFO, Peg Inapoke, agrees. Brooklyn Bridge was unavailable for comment

    This is a bit like a job listing for a trade or technician position advertising they will supply a vehicle.

    No shit, I need a van to do my job. You don’t really have a choice.

      Per-token costs are down, but you need more tokens; overall costs are up.

        Yeah they are trying to add more and more context and allow bigger and bigger requests.

        Cost per request is probably still going up. On top of there being more and more requests.

    Can we link an article that isn’t behind a paywall?

    source
    • JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Certainly not. This one seems to be the source article. And you know the problem with those archive paywall busting side. They are doing a DDOS on other sites and are serving malware. So I won’t link them. The article in question doesn’t have a paywall for me, so maybe clean your cookies and cache or install some paywall busting plugins. Some paywalls are also time based, so they start after a certain amount of days, after a certain amount of visits, and are therefore hard to predict. So no there’s no way to link another article.

    Company that sells random collections of words: People are increasingly asking for random collections of words instead of money!

    “Random bullshit Go!” meme…

    They’ve finally proven that ALL they care-about is preventing integrity from having any root in any economy they’re infesting, & that ANYTHING that displaces correct-view is worth pushing, to prevent correct-view.

    That changes the framing, in my eyes:

    That means that it isn’t what they’re pushing that is The Problem: they’re simply too machiavellian to bother negotiating with.

    THEY are the problem.

    I’d want private-investigators on them, & I’d want a good war-chest for prosecuting them, once their corruption’s evidence was unearthed, enough.

    People THAT anti-integrity consistently create evidence of their corruption.

    The state won’t prosecute them ( big herds ONLY respect big herds, & corporations are herds, which is why when accountability threatens, they simply “dissipate”, and … “nobody is responsible!” … same as herds ), so activist-groups are going to have to do it.

    Totally different framing.

      Mate, I don’t want to be mean or give unsolicited advice, but I do want to help.

      Your comment is well meant and I kind of get what you want to say, but it’s so hard to follow. It shows signs of incoherence and hyperassociativity. You’ve also written hundreds of lines of comments in the past few hours and they are all in a similar style. This might just be your style, but it is often a sign of schizophrenia, psychosis or mania.

      I really hope you will talk to a doctor about this, or at least a family member or friend that you can confide in.

    And like RSUs, they’re gonna stagger them over several years so you can’t get the full value when they fire you mid way, not that there’s any value in computes for actual real-life use. lol
