Yes, that’s because libred looks like an Android mobile app to Reddit. Content doesn’t get blocked of on there, no matter what your IP address is.

Okay well, I did. It was on the iOS Telegram client, US phone number. Maybe Pavel pushed it only to certain clients.

Yes

What I found most alarming about this whole thing: this post showed up in the Telegram app for me, in a banner. I don’t follow Durov’s channel. He decided to push it to every Telegram client regardless of whether they’re following him.

And he posted it to his Telegram channel, too: https://t.me/durov/452

Yeah the message is only half right.

You think? I’m convinced the guardrails LLM companies impose only serve to up these companies’ reputation.

Love Ed Zitron. Especially his podcast is great. All “AI” sceptics should give it a listen.

👍

I know this whole post is a joke, but I just wanted to say that when using a VPN, you’re not ”entrusting them with all your data security needs.”

The MPA can try all they want, they’ll never defeat piracy.

I’m saying that companies whose sole focus is generative AI will not be bailed out by the US government.

No, only some of their clients are.

Assuming every connection you make is encrypted with TLS (HTTPS) or otherwise encrypted:

If you use encrypted custom DNS, your ISP sees only the IP addresses you connect to. If you use unencrypted DNS or ISP-provided DNS, they see the hostnames plus the IP addresses.

Why? They (used to) push disgustingly deceptive marketing and had an embarrassing server breach.

It doesn’t make any sense for them to do that. Maybe because of corruption. But there’s a complete lack of any good business reason to be bailing out those slop companies.

I don’t think big tech that does stuff besides just AI (Google, Meta) will go bankrupt when the AI bubble busts. The AI-only tech companies though (OpenAI, Anthropic, …) - I guess we’ll see. I’m pretty sure many of those will die.

Intel actually makes stuff that gets used. OpenAI just spends billions upon billions of dollars for a solution in search of a problem to solve. It has to be shoved into everyone’s faces because someone has to start needing it, but no-one really does. The total revenue of all generative AI is the size of - brace yourself - the smartwatch market.

What do you mean by “portfolio”?

Are you talking about the AI / big tech companies? No they won’t.
