Unfortunately, I am expecting the Trump Regime to falsify any investigation into this, if only to protect someone from the blame. Plus, DOGE probably cut down the size of agencies.

Hopefully I am wrong, but this year hasn’t been a great one.

Dude. I live in the US, and would like it to be a super-awesome place that genuinely leads the world in morality and prosperity.

Unfortunately, my nation has been going down the toilet. If you haven’t noticed, things like ICE’s raid on Hyundai, the undeclared war and crimes upon Venuzela, over 1,800 people disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz, Mike Johnson refusing to open congress, the SNAP denial, and other bouts of malicious stupidity are very bad signs for the future.

In any case, I don’t like China, but it is likely to be a superpower for awhile until India or someone else takes the crown. The crown was America’s to lose, and I am pretty sure we are losing it.

Projection, probably. Reimplement SNAP, with the condition that EVERYBODY needs to purchase through SNAP and TrumpID with it. Then take away SNAP for democrats when Trump calls for it.

…is sarcasm even a thing anymore? I cannot tell.

It is a matter of degree. While China has issues, America’s is much worse across the board.

My money is on the American bubble popping. China would do just fine. As to Europe’s? Probably not developed enough to seriously impact them, but probably able to fill America’s void once the bubble action has died down. America is pretty fucked in general, so it isn’t so much AI in particular, but rather a ghost economy.

Something based on imaginary stocks, grift, de-industrialization, ghost jobs and falsified labor statistics, likely mixed with a debased dollar, just doesn’t bode well.

So I get a sprite battle between Santa Coke and Pepsi Man?

Hear the cry of carbonation
Echoing throughout the nation
When the world needs hydration
Salvation comes in a can!

If you just want an easy way to setup AI on Windows or Linux, KoboldCPP is my recommendation for your backend. It supports the GGUF format, which allows you to use both RAM and VRAM simultaneously. It won’t be the fastest thing, but it is easy enough to setup, with a bundled GUI for prep and actual usage. Through the IP address it gives, you can hook the backend into a frontend of choice.

Far as RAM goes, it will become a good thing: it gives companies incentive to invest into the development of bigger RAM, more speed, and making the motherboard bandwidth big enough to handle it.

The next big generation of hardware will be much better IMO, simply because the companies will have to compete by their merits. The downside is not having enough supply right now, but once the logistics and tech is in place, even non-AI people will benefit.

I think they will use the fact that white people are disguised on Halloween, to add them to the trafficking cages. $1,500 a head, plus “fun” for ICE predators before shipping out the merchandise.

ICE only loves dispensing pain and reveling in their own power. They have no loyalty to the nation nor the people.

I am stuck in a residence where the owner doesn’t consider surveillance to be a threat model. It sucks.

I am kinda expecting MAGA army doctrine to consist of hopped up human waves.

Honestly, it ain’t AI’s fault if people feel bad. Society has been around for much longer, and people are suffering because of what society hasn’t done to make them feel good about life.

If there is a civil war, I suspect that Tylenol would be on the side of the Allies & Union. Texans and MAGA will have to use homeopathic remedies to (not) ease their pain.

He isn’t smart enough to understand that it strips away the civility that protected him.

While I do want to someday have AI pals while gaming, I refuse to have Microsoft be one of them.

Ah, new ways for Kegsbreath to expose his idiocy.

Not surprising. Turds tend to stick together.

I think the more important thing, is for people to push to make AI a public good, rather than a corporate hegemony. If corporations are the sole creators and holders of AI, they will do all sorts of terrible things with their mastery. Publicly developed and open-sourced AI that is free for anyone to use, is important.

The refusal for the public to truly make AI their own, would be akin to letting corporations to control every single printing press.
