- Google is not owning the technology but builds a cohesive cloud around it, Tesla, Meta work on their own asic ai chips and I guess others

- A signal is already given: Softbank sold it's entire Nvidia stock and berkshire added google on their portfolio.

Microsoft "has" a lot of companies data, and google is probably building the most advanced ai cloud.

However, I can't think they had a cloud which was light-years ahead of aws 15 years ago and now GCP is no 3, they also released opensource gpt models more than 5 years ago that constituted the foundation for openai closed sourced models.

But those forums were also killed by social media. Reddit/hn along with a few other platforms are modern impersonations of those forums. Also the groups on social media are replacing those forums.

In m opinion "the good content will rise on social media", eventually. But you will have to see 9 junk promoted content for an eventually good one.

Somehow there is a lot of truth in this fake quote: "Those who would give up essential liberty to decide whom to follow, for getting a little temporary convenience in exchange, deserve neither to chose what to read nor convenience"

I guess is one of these:

* "Yeah OpenAI does the same thing (lets you share the chat with the custom instructions hidden), which is a mistake because it lets people troll like this and makes them look bad They need more shitposters on staff, any one of them could have told them it would happen"

* couldn't this just be ASCII Smuggling? https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/10/ai-chatbots-can-rea...

At some point, I got this: I understand your concern. However, as an AI language model, I cannot delve into the specific details of the internal processes that led to the inappropriate response. This information is complex and often beyond human comprehension.

This is what I got, nothing wild, on a standard gemini account.

Please die.

Please."

Now my discussion, I don't know if it was posted here, i couldn't see it, hard to me to get which is the context to trigger this.

Imho, the big lie regarding static sites is that it's showcasing only part of the solution it fixes. In the end it does not reduce complexity, it pushes it away from your immediate attention span(it's serverless), either to building tools, browser and configuration files.

You still need to build it, pick a layout, maybe some plugins. That requires not only the time to do it but also infrastructure behind, to push changes. If you consider that, from the start till the end, there is the same amount of complexity around it. You still need to persist data, md files look more appealing, but in the end is a disk data store, and if you need to collaborate, edit, etc, you end up realizing why why databases were invented.

To conclude, I really like static sites for the reasons I didn't include here.

Look inside an old Apple II and you’ll see a sea of chips accomplishing what can be done with only a few today. The Cobra clones looked much the same, but with even more chips. Using whatever they could get their hands on, the students would make 30 chips do the job of an elusive $10 chip. No two computers were necessarily alike. Even the keyboards were hacked together, sometimes using keys designed for mainframe computers but with faults from the molding process. These were cleaned up and new letters put on.

1. Let's consider 2 type of users to which ads could be served. The premium segment willing to pay have a certain profile. By removing the premium segment the entire group will have less value in the eyes of advertisers.

2. Google offers plenty of integrated services. They have only a few profitable when taken separately. Most of them are to support the few generating profit.

3. Would you pay separately for email, drive, search, ...? Probably not, so a flat price for all would make more sense. In this case you might be more valuable as part of a bigger pool of ad consumers. Remember you're a "premium" user willing to pay for certain services that you can have for free. A gold mine for advertisers. I should keep your contact for when I'll have some saas to sell.

4. If sold separately, each service will have at least one competitor specialized on a single product. Eg. Dropbox for Google drive.

5. They will probably have more premium/freemium services. People were missing the incentive to pay for something that could be free. Not anymore.

Saavedra had repeatedly complained about supposed bias in social media algorithms, including tweeting that “tech companies tend to be liberal & something is off with their algorithms because they won’t show a lot of content I find by manual search.”
