There is no incentive to work hard for most organizations. They will take credit for all your work and maybe give you a $1000 bonus at the end of the year, if they havent laid you off by that time.

Providers like OpenRouter default to the cheapest provider. They are often cheap because they are rediculously quantized and tuned for throughput, not quality.

This is probably kimi trying to protect their brand from bargain basement providers that dont properly represent what the models are capable of.

I wish there were a way to fire lobbyists. There is no feedback loop, they can be as bad as they want and never suffer a minute for taking away peoples rights.

It seems like MS will do everything under the sun, except put effort into making their OS and cloud better and more reliable.

People arent robots, they are allowed their own thoughts and free will. Your comment implies any behavior against the interests of a corporation is somehow a sin. This is such a gross take.

Everyday a new low. I shouldnt be surprised, but i cant believe someone could be so self serving and selfish.

Forgejo is super easy to set up on a 1-2 core vm. Make a compose file and put caddy in front for tls. the whole thing is less than 50 lines and costs about $10-$15 a month.

Product managers do not care about customers. They only care about their bonus and the line moving up.

So, so, so sick of AI everywhere. It feel like a layer of sludge covering everything. I hate it.

You have a very narrow and rose colored view of what maga is. To us living in the US, maga stands for pedophilia, misogyny, racism, fascism, homophobia, transphobia, corroption and much more.

It absolutely has nothing to do with putting america first, it has everything to do with putting trump first. Im afraid you have made the mistake of listening to a politicians words instead of watching his actions. Every word from his mouth is a lie.

Anyone not ashamed to be MAGA is a psychopath. It absolutely is a shameful, hateful stance to embrace.

Its not society, this is simply more fascism. Corperate and government cooperation to surviel and controll the masses.

So long as the 5g chips and the 2 mobile app stores remain under control, then 5 eyes has nearly full coverage.

Its un-fixable. The situation cant be explained simply enough for the majority of americans. Even if some of them do mange to understand, it will be quickly forgotten amid the flood of trump sewage we are sprayed with every day.

Will this include the idiotic age verification at the OS level that Meta has been lobbying for?
