I’m stuck using fucking facebook, messenger and whatsapp. Facebook and messenger are where all the non-techie people in my kids’ sports communicate, and I’ve got some dear people far away that uses whatsapp.
I had deleted my account back before it was called meta, but had to get a new one. Fuck me if I’m going to install their app though.
If we could wean people off of meta it’d be great.

Some Oracle hr droid tried to hire me fresh out of university. It’s been “some” years, and I’ve never heard anybody saying that I was a fool for turning it down.

it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.
A CPU-cycle requires energy no matter where it is. The open source models may be more efficient, or you may distribute the power usage over a greater geographical area. But you’re not using less energy because you’re running the model at home.
Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.
I do like the idea that open source will kill tech giants.
