Sam Altman suggests that instead of Universal Basic Income, there should be Universal Basic Compute, where everyone gets a share of GPT 7 computing power. But what are we supposed to do with that compute? Does it pay rent? Can I buy groceries or medicine with it? Tech Bro is just saying things to promote ITS LLM. 😂 Full interview here for those who wish to see it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nSM0xd8xHUM

@nixCraft I immediately thought about Bitcoin mining, which would be the basic income but with a lot of environmental problems.

Poll: users, do you regret buying a laptop or desktop with an Nvidia card because of drivers and other problems?

Many people canceled their Openai subscriptions, or it is tough to monetize stuff created with generative AI, I guess, so Sama comes with a new plan to use all those GPUs. They are now going after OF models. WTF OpenAI? They are going to allow deepfake? This company is beyond evil 👿

Rabbit R1 AI box is just an Android app, and the software can run on a phone

It sounds like the company is now blocking access from "bootleg" APKs.

How to become a pro software developer?
0. Open GPT OR SO OR GOOGLE

  1. Find the code you want
  2. Ctrl+c
  3. Ctrl+v
  4. Pray that it works; if not GOTO # 0
  5. ??!
  6. Profit.

@nixCraft whenever I see this kind of changes, I'm tempted to ask this question. Why can't they use the same name when the end users know nothing and don't even want to know anything about under the hood?

Cognition Labs (creator of Devin to replace software developers) is now valued at a $2B. The startup is 6 months old and has no revenue. Oh, they also faked Devin demo. Can i get million dollars too? I want to build AI into Bash 😂

@nixCraft I marginally understand why people with little understanding of technology buy this. I wonder if these companies also have as little understanding as they do or are just evil enough to fully know it but pretend not to.

The AI hype bubble is deflating. Now comes the hard part. The tech industry got the world’s attention with AI. Now it’s busy convincing people to pay for it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/18/ai-bubble-hype-dying-money/ Do you know who is going to survive? Meta, Google, Apple, and cash-rich companies. They (Meta and Google) can provide free AI supported by their ads businesses. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. Do you think they're going to pay for AI? 🤖
