<p>There is a big difference between capturing value and creating value. 20 developers can build and maintain a facebook or reddit clone, so why aren't they kicking the asses of the big companies with the much higher costs?</p>

<p>Well the goal is to stop killing games, to make it possible for people to run their own games indefinitely. That's a lot harder than baseline consumer protections though.</p>

<p>With a video game it's not clear that you're purchasing a revocable license. That's why it's called "buying" a video game. If online stores were clear that you were actually leasing a game, I don't think this would be a problem.<p>Publishers and storefronts need to be clear that what you're doing isn't buying, or start selling tickets (season passes) that have a clear end date, or use some other mechanism that isn't "buying".<p>The fundamental problem is that it's unclear what you're buying, and the contract can change at any time. Are you buying an item, a ticket, leasing, a subscription like an MMO, etc. These are all different things, and it misleads consumers when they're conflated.<p>The terms are also very one-sided, and your "purchase" can be ended by one party at will with very limited notice. Even basic consumer protection like requiring six months notice before ending your software lease would help.</p>

<p>So the play here is obvious, use the teleoperation as training data for a more general purpose AI controller. You need that data to make a model in the first place.<p>What doesn't make sense to me is the cost. Yes, $8000 is probably low for this robot but it's a reasonable price range for something like this. The AI credits though? I know vision LLMs are not cheap, they're not going to run something like Llama3.2vision on every frame. Very curious about the embodied AI architecture that this is going to use, and how it can get cheap enough that it's not going to use $500/month in electricity every month.</p>

<p>If memory serves the cachyos-nix flakes sets a cache for pre-built kernels, but that cache isn't available until you rebuild. So if you want to use the cache you need to do two steps, add cachyos to your inputs, rebuild, switch the kernel, rebuild.<p>Then reboot to use the new kernel.</p>

<p>I'm also not a lawyer, I was making that as a more vague moral distinction on the topic of free speech and accountability.<p>For practical reasons I think those algorithms are absolutely necessary. We need spam filters. A good line to draw would be "bring your own algorithm". A technical challenge to be sure, bit breaking up social media backend providers and content filtering seems like one of the only safe ways to allow these massive platforms to exist.<p>The algorithm can be just "Dan filters out spam".</p>

<p>You can be protected by safe harbour provisions, or you can editorialise your content. I don't think you should have both.<p>Free speech does not cover scams and fraud, something that happens on their platform. Society doesn't take any action against them for publishing illegal content, scams, libel, fraud, because they aren't a newspaper. They're more like a newspaper printing house.<p>In my opinion they should probably be losing those protections and should suffer legal consequences for the content their users post. The moderation has reached a point where they ate defacto editorialising content.<p>An alternative to that could be opting in to some kind of third party moderation arbitration process.</p>
