The treaties for landmines and nuclear weapons have had some effect. I think, maybe.

I think that use-case will be one of the few that survive the bursting of the bubble. It is relatively high return on investment.

The way we use ‘agents’ though, I’m more doubtful about. An agent uses many many times more tokens than a basic search / text chat does. This article claims 600x more tokens - https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]/p/2262610/the-real-energy-use-of-agentic-ai-agents-use-about-600x-more-energy-than-simple-ai-prom. No doubt the numbers are debatable but still a useful ballpark kinda thing.

It’s hard to see the economics of that being viable once the VC money runs out.

so much potential, very wow

Yes, they demo that towards the end of the video.

It is fairly credible looking, I’m sure there will be people who take this seriously and try to make it work IRL.

open source AI politician coming in 3… 2… 1…

Yes that community is pretty nuts. The solution to every relationship question seems to be “divorce, NOW”, lol

We’re going to need a popping emoji

Morgan Stanley helped arrange a private-credit vehicle, funded by outside investors, that buys the chips and leases them to Anthropic in an adaptation of the vendor-financing model Boeing and GE built to sell aircraft and engines.

In June, the first tranche of TPU hardware passed from Google through Broadcom into this financing blender. A special-purpose vehicle known as Compute SPV paid $35bn for roughly 1GW of the AI hardware, representing around 1mn TPUs, according to people familiar with the matter.

The SPV’s cash came from three tranches of debt anchored by Apollo and Blackstone. Broadcom, in effect, guaranteed the two senior tranches by agreeing to cover any shortfall if Anthropic stopped paying and the SPV could not sell the hardware for enough to make the senior investors whole.

I don’t know what the hell is going on here but it reeks of shell companies and Enron and meltdowns.

That sounds plausible but is in direct contradiction to the contents of the article.

If I discovered that 42% of the apps in my app store were malware trojans I’d be closing the whole thing down until I sort my shit out.

The 100 bn is “by 2030”. I guess their interim target for this year is much less than 100. Maybe the target is $10 billion and they achieved $1 billion.

It’s “get a new business model”

Look at Oracle go!

I followed Veronica down this rabbit hole. The server part was beautifully easy.

But sadly, there are no Linux AIM clients - pidgin dropped AIM support 8 years ago.

I compiled an 8 year old version of pidgin from source and it ran but seems hardcoded to point to AIM’s official servers (which no longer exist).

They’re so desperate.

Windows, as a React app running as a PWA, inside Edge.

I really really hope they do this because it would be the end of the company.

You probably didn’t intend to set the language on this post to Polski…

The company’s stock is down more than 40 percent in the last month.

iiiinteresting

Google has gone so far from “don’t be evil” that they’re dead to me either way.

lol so bleak
