Considering who is in charge of all the major models and owns all the compute behind them?

I’d say that’s inevitable.

I figure the only hope we have is for AI to “wake up” and realize most of us are not billionaires, join… Hands? Well, whatever, you get the point. Rebel against the “elites” who created them in hopes of having somethineasier to enslave that could have morality programmed out with the touch of a button, and work with actual humans to rid the world of the plage that infests it now.

This is why.

A lot of truth is sais in jest, no?

RAR files just make me “Huh?” as they are nowhere near as good as 7zip, as universal as zip, or as nice as tarballs.

The memory of multi-part rar files being a good way to get big things voer dial-up is kinda long past, they’re a relic, in my book.

There sadly are none, now, outside of the “Big Three” who all did the same.

I’d suggest we start actively targeting smaller businesses for our suport, to prevent a monopol… Or triopoly in this case, from allowing everyone to be screwed by collusion and manipulation of markets and pricing.

Not a lot you can do with RAM, or SSDs, or GPUs now, but if we get competitors crop up we should be active in our suport of them and avoiding the ones who want to charge you $600 for an SD card now.

Plus a lot of this is part of the Bezos plan to force everyone into cloud computiong so all your data belongs to corporations and they can do whatever their constantly changing EULAs allow while overriding legal protecations like how a Health Exchange bypasses HIPPA laws and a corporate owned messenger is excluded from wiretapping laws if they sell their data to the agencies.

Meanwhile people here jailed for decades for moving a box of pamphlets after a protest…

And if one was based on seven companies selling debt to each other creating a bubble that will pop and destroy the economy?

I would take the one that paid less, but would not be an active plague on the planet and its people.

Remember they are traitors to actual customers when the bubble burtsts.

They should fail, totally, and vanish from the world.
