Lets hope so! They manipulated the first Deepseek model, and reinserted US propaganda and garbage lies into the llm again. So even before groqopedia (sigh), Perplexity were the first private AI corporation that openly felt they were competent/unbiased enough to decide what ‘truth’ is, and they took it upon themselves to ‘fix’ the information before the information went to their users. Oh, thank you benevolent Perplexity Unt’s, for protecting us all against wewil ! (sigh)

After that ideological stunt, they simple cant be trusted for ANY information! They have shown that THEIR interpretation of ‘truth’ is the real truth, and that they have the GOD-GIVEN right, to alter other sources pf truth, on behalf of their users. So, all their users are victims of that ideological sh*t perspective. Perplexity WILL just re-doctor information as they, and their sponsors, see fit. Perplexity are just another US propaganda outlet - opinions sold for profit - and the sooner they collapse the better for humanity.

Well, oc all the other big AI corporations and their Unt owners/ceo’s do the same - just behind closed doors, so I’m eagerly waiting for the whole US AI bubble to collapse and pull down everything else with it… Go go China, Bricks+ and all of the global ‘south’ !

OP blocked…

I don’t think “AI” is the problem here. Watching the watchers doesn’t hurt, but I think the AI-haters are grasping for straws here. In fact, when comparing to the actual suicide numbers, this “AI is causing Suicide !” seems a bit contrived/hollow, tbh. Were the haters also as active in noticing the 49 thousand suicide deaths every year, or did they just now find it a problem ?

Besides, if there’s a criminal here, it would be the private corp that provided the AI service, not a broad category of technology - “AI”. People that hate AI, seem to really just hate the effects of Capitalism.

https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/data.html (This is for US alone !) overview

If image not shown: Over 49,000 people died by suicide in 2023. 1 death every 11 minutes. Many adults think about suicide or attempt suicide. 12.8 million seriously thought about suicide. 3.7 million made a plan for suicide. 1.5 million attempted suicide.

Primitive propaganda attack on China. Embarrassing that Anthropic goes along with it. Great that the Chinese now have models and coding plans that are on par with claude/claude code, just way way cheaper (Z.ai/glm4.6). I’m ditching Anthropic for Chinese AI… F these coping *sswhipes…

I have not tested it, but Zluda are are drop-in cuda replacement for non-nvidia gpus. The speed should be great. You could check if your goto card is supported…

A backup drive ? dotfiles (.config) ? /tmp /var/log /boot ? map it into your home for something temporary - Downloads ? Slow audio files ? If you like to tinker for fun: btrfs / bcachefs could perhaps utilize it for something, like automatically offloading unused/slow files to the slow usb ? Raid ? ;) Create a partition and let zram swap compressed unused memory pages to the usb partition (I think it keeps pages compressed now ?). You can also run ‘usb over ethernet’, so another machine can use it directly - not sure why tho ;)

On a side note. I still use one of my first usb 1.? drives with 32mb in my old router. 32mb is still 12mb more than my first hard drive, and it fits well with the small openwrt packages. It even has a little slide button to select ‘floppy drive’ mode and a physical ‘readonly’ mode. I wonder what the smallest/oldest usb stick people still use, are ?

“\C-x(”: “s/\([[:space:]]\)\(\(\([[({]\(\([[({]\(\([[({]\([^{][(){}]\{0,1\}\)*[]})]\)\{0,1\}[}][(){}]\{0,1\}\)[]})]\)\{0,1\}[^{][(){}]\{0,1\}\)*[]})]\)\{0,1\}[}][(){}]\{0,1\}\)*\)/\1(\2)/n”

YES! Finally something with a manly learning curve ! Enough with all this baby high level programming languages and UI’s. ALL computer interaction should preferably be in a random mix of brainfuck and ed(2) ! Maybe with a little regex expressions randomly inserted here and there to keep us sharp ;-)

This is just a normal “Surveillance Capitalism”. ALL corporations feed on our data and they ALL collect/sell and infringe on our privacy, ALL the time - nothing new here…

“And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.”

That’s not how the internet works, but nice try though ;-)

I dislike the whole idea/musk/maga, but there are problems with wikipedia, and it is naive to think it is unbiased - money and pressure breaks that principle really fast when necessary.

Here, grokopedia were absolutely right about Russia/Ukraine, and surprisingly the first western/US based platform to actually honestly write what Russia says instead of inferring what Russia says/want from ridiculous rumors/claims from the anti-russia campaign/pundits. Wikipedia is filled with biased ‘truths’ on that article and likely all other high stakes pro-liberal views.

All that unfortunately just means that wikipedias leadership is lying, and that we now have not one, but two biased sources of ‘truth’. Each blasting their own path - away from unbiased scientific truth. We cannot trust sources originating from the Western hemisphere where money incentives are above the search for truth. We also see it in our media, where journalists write whatever they are paid to write. Profit and scientific truth only correlate if scientists/oligarchy have the same goal, but usually they don’t. Profit and Truth are orthogonal to each other and only overlap at one point.

I wouldn’t use/support the private/racist grokopedia - even when verifiably less biased than wikipedia on Russia. I suspect that ‘truths’ are biased in both. Wikipedia are pretty good at non-controversial topics, but slightly to heavily biased towards the liberal view on most controversial topics (especially current western propaganda topics, bad Russia, bad China, many sexes good, etc). OC the Guardian is at the forefront of deliberate liberal anti-russia propaganda in the West, so they have to write biased claims to keep their readers convinced, and keep the conflict going (money pouring in).

In the end, it is just two right-wing databases fighting for supremacy - anything not right-wing are shut down and other activist - or non-capitalist encyclopedias have been build around on the net instead of fighting wikipedias bias. (no, a ‘liberal’ is not ‘left’, they are all capitalists, and thus all following the capitalist doctrines).

Not recommending anything, but; with all the guns Americans have, its pretty wild that such people is still here. Apparently, schools are an easier target…

Oi, the US/Plutocratic anti-China propaganda is running in high gears atmo 🙃 Why anyone would believe these obvious moronic claims about ‘other guys’ doing exactly what US Plutocracy and Capitalism have done for centuries, are beyond me. But they do anyway… Perhaps complete ignorance of what the West and their contrived ideology are doing in/to the world ? Who knows…

Anyway, congratulations to China for pushing though all the bullshit and continues attacks from US (and its liberal puppets), and because they won against the US Empire of Lies… In fact, congratulations to all enemies of the psychopathic US Plutocracy: Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and so on and so on. All victims of the Western ideological dictatorship through a hundred years…

I read 6+ m ago that China are already doing tests with both deep sea and space compute. Nvidia isn’t leading.

Also: "With Starship, we’re expecting launch costs much lower.” Starship ?? Okay, then it will never happen.
