Maybe. LLMs are free(ish), meanwhile a single trip to the ER can leave a person destitute. Maybe that’s not so bad (it is) if the ER visit is for something actually urgent, but somewhere between 27% and 40% of ER visits are non-urgent and most are treatable by a PCP. But… ERs have to treat you while, in the US, a primary care physician can look you right in the eyes and turn you away because you have no money.

People don’t want to admit that AI does some good because the companies that own these LLMs are as corrupt as any other and the implications of the corruption of this tech are horrifying. But for health care, including mental health, LLMs are an unexpected godsend.

Thanks for the tip.

Yes! (I’m a little biased since it’s my favorite color.)

Can “Linux” be another color? Red pillers are incel neo-Nazi douchebags.

Dear smart glasses wearers,

You’re colossal pieces of shit. And dumb as a bag of socks, morons who are paying companies for the privilege of spying on strangers without their consent. You’re helping to enable a world where privacy literally doesn’t exist and every public moment of every person’s life, whether they want to participate or not, is being mined and monetized by billionaires.

You are lower than pond scum. You’re the shit under the back of the toilet bowl that has never been cleaned. You are actually stupid. Like, actually braindead. You are paying actual money to be exploited. At least Facebook and Instagram are free. Seriously, what kind of dumbass would pay to have Mark Zuckerberg sit on their face all day? Fucking idiots. 🤣

Elaborate, plz.

It’s a doomsday cult.

Almost certainly not. All the offshoots from Mozilla’s tech rely first and foremost on Mozilla’s production of the foundational software, which eats up a significant portion of their roughly $500M/yr operational costs. The heavy development cost of modern browsers is why everything is either Chromium or Gecko-based.

That said, Mozilla will be around as long as Chromium continues to dominate the market. Google literally funds Mozilla because it’s cheaper to prop up a competitor than it is to be sued by the government for monopolistic practices (check out 1998 decision against Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer with Windows).

I’m not sure Firefox belongs on this list. Google finances Mozilla’s operation to the tune of $420M a year. It’s not for-profit, but it’s also not the same as the others.

Congrats on friends👍🏻

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Man it must have changed a lot since I did it in the '00s.

Typical lemmy user looking for a femdom to spank his nutsack.

🤣

If women are so great, then how come God made them so good at cooking and cleaning and not business and stocks and racecar?

You don’t say… I was sure he was going to admit to being a pedophile and child rapist.

Just goes to show ya, you can never be sure about these things.

Anthropic has raised $30B in equity and is pledging $50B constructing data centers (all debt; they have only $2.5B in revolving credit facility).

There will be an IPO sooner rather than later.

The only question then is: will Anthropic be the first tech company ever to withstand the government? The answer is no. Everything you do with Anthropic’s services will become the government’s data trove someday, guaranteed.

In other words, they did the calculations and found that they don’t yet have the market share or the financial position that would enable them to sell out to the government. However, they’re planning to get there someday and hope the DoD is willing to work together in the future.

Ya, but it’s good in spite of Will Smith.

Spez is such a colossal Zuckerberg-wannabe piece of shit. I don’t think any site has fallen farther than Reddit has. What a waste.
