big tech is going to do everything it can to ensure the end of Wintel is also the end of open computing.

Future is all proprietary chips & toolchains behind paywalls, with private compute ownership illegal for the peasant class.


one ugly mf’er

this utopian ‘legit’ news site does not actually exist anywhere

they are all propaganda factories with different grades of editorial gloss

ft.com and crazyshit.com are equally unserious, but only one is transparent about it


he wasn’t the first guy to think of it he was just the first guy bored enough to waste that much time on such a thing

Making printers dependent on ai should get you banned from the internet, you got off light.

What in the world are you talking about? He used AI to remove the printer's artificial dependency on proprietary Windows and Android drivers.

The most shocking reveal to me is that from 2002-2011 Prince Andrew worked a special trade envoy role for the UK, and was passing non-public trade info immediately to Epstein. Epstein, in turn, immediately leveraged it with JP Morgan, and they made fn billions.

Not just one treasonous man, not just a few rich perverts, the whole thing is a supranational criminal syndicate looting everything they aren’t raping.

The circle of dirt does extend very wide and the scoundrels really are worried prosecution of the guilty will collapse everything.


the era of running ‘your own’ model on x86 chips will be very short

the future is all about premium subscribers accessing proprietary hardware from vendor-locked endpoints


what a scumbag

The ability of ai to serve as impartial mediators could become the greatest civil rights advance in modern history.

That's right! Because there is no possible way they might end up incorporating all of the bias towards various demographics that are present in the human culture they are trained on. It will be like having god on your side! Always fair! Always honest!

I’d argue it’s the greatest nightmare and the ultimate contempt for human life and values.

Compared to the judicial landscape we're facing in the US right now, it sounds like a safeguard.

Until this administration forces OpenAI to comply by secret government LLM training protocols that is...


part of the all-in-on-AI strategy is killing open computing. wintel is dead and companies need to convert that change momentum into a strategic shift.

They will eat the entire supply chain. AI demand has already captured memory and video component vendors, they’re gone. AI service providers will increasingly shift to proprietary chips and toolchains that cannot be replicated by end users. Checkmate.

The intent is to create a generational shift. Soon open computing toolchains won’t work on any ‘current’ hw, they’ll be just boot sale curiosities.

That’s why goog ms et al feel comfortable doing what appears to be crazy things historically. They know the end game.
