      Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*

      *premium subscription required for >12gb, metered pricing for >20gb usage

          I just tried this and it’s pure pain on the modern web. Granted it’s a Rpi3 so it’s ram limited, but I have to do a lot more optimization to get it to run stable enough for decent web browsing or streaming a video.

            Yeah, it’s got to be old school text based with at best low quality images. Or use extensions like Text Mode. Modern web is very bloated.

          It already exists. There are businesses whose model is that they rent out vram that you can offload tasks to

          And for a couple of years now tech companies have been talking shout how cool it would be for computers to be just portals with all the processing power being online somewhere (as a subscription model)

        You’re right, but let’s not forget that the facebook phone is really popular and the meta glasses definitely don’t look like nerd emoji. 🤓

    Well, that’s because Zuckerberg felt FOMO and fired the Llama team over one bad experiment he probably pressured them into in the first place (as Llama 4 seemed like a “quick and dirty” attempt to copy Deepseek to me).

    He hired literal narcissists in their place, who gave him big promises they couldn’t possibly keep, given their background.


    Meta was literally at the center of open weights/open source ML land, which is where all this will eventually settle. Between that and PyTorch, they could have been at the center of the universe.

    But they aren’t, because Zuck is so unbelievably insecure.

    I’m not one to blame individuals for anything; systemic failure is complex. But he actually did this to himself.


    And what’s bizarre is, somehow, it will work out for him.

    I’ve been criticizing Facebook since I was in high school and it was all the rage. But here we are. Zuckerberg is more “revered” than ever.

    Why does every photo of him look like he’s a beta release robot being shown off at a tech expo?

    But I paid so many Africans to post images of lobster Jesus for old white people to look at and share. Something was really supposed to come of that 🤔

        Like actually? Early image models were given open ended prompts so they would just generate images based on the frequency of topics and traffic on the internet. Turns out if aliens saw our culture they would assume that some of our most important things are Jesus and crustaceans. Zuck’s dementia-ward demographic were mostly responding to any picture with a Jesus in it, though.

        But that was before generative ai found out that humans go absolutely ape-shit for neonatal face features

            Oh my bad. Yeah just demented old people man. They do be liking stuff with Jesus in it probably because it’s one of the last things their brain still holds on to

    What’s that, you say? Your technology dreams are okay, but the way you implement privacy, ethics, and security are actually shit and nobody wants to be near you, you say?

    Well, who am I to tell you you’re right.

    Maybe if your everything wasn’t constantly hostile and morally egregious, you’d find more success.

    He’s too cheap to pay for better data annotators. I heard a few weeks ago that I’m getting a fraction of what others are paid at other firms for the same work.

    AI didn’t turn out the way any of us imagined… Cuz it still remains limited to our imaginations. Fiction.

    It didn’t turn out at all.

    Get back to us when AI becomes a reality, and not just a hypermarketed spell checker that’s wrong occasionally.
