LOL

especially biden!

Can he spell veto though?

It’s a slightly less annoying version of Pharell’s “Happy” to my ear.

It’s not only in my head I feel let down or looked down on, and “trying my best” ain’t gonna cut it in this economy. 🤣

If you have listened to it since your high school days…it doesn’t fit into the comic’s category.

How many people really enjoying “keep rollin rollin rollin rollin” by limp bizkit nowadays?

🎶 Hey, don’t write yourself off yet, it’s only in your head you feel let down, or looked down on 🎶

IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME

No, it’s not transmitted on TCP/IP packets, but the way opencode works makes it so it can be part of the pinning data. Along with probably a hashed version of the context attached to the project and other things. I have read a bit about it and vibe coded some workarounds and it’s not as simple as them cataloging the VPN exit nodes, because then none of them would ever work. I have like a “scramble” command on my setup now to get around it. This was all implemented by them sometime in the last month.

Before I added the scrambling switching between VPN nodes after the october limit pinning would immediately associate you with the old limit when switching between VPN nodes, and after scrambling the MAC address and other things (nuking project metadata) it picks up a new limit again. I’m not 100% sure what specific pieces of metadata they’re using for pinning because I decided to just have the sandbox code scramble them all at the same time, but they are pinning now.

The easier fix would be for them to just require an account, and I suspect eventually they’ll do that (I suspect they like the anonymous for demos, but that’ll only last so long). I also suspect that google AI mode will eventually get the same treatment (account requirements and usage limits) because I find it very difficult to believe someone hasn’t already Jerry-rigged up a coding harness attached to Google’s free AI mode.

They’re basically operating as a kinda/sorta backstop on the loans by saying they’ll rent them back if everything falls through and be a guaranteed customer…but I think they did so in snaky legalese that lets them ultimately get away without actually renting them. I think it’s through like subsidiaries and shit. Oracle is one of the actual bag holders and I think there are several others. They set up shell companies for each specific data center project and shit. It’s quite the fucking racket and should pretty obviously be illegal from multiple angles.

Starve the beast by VPN hopping on opencode free models. It’s become a little more difficult in recent weeks because they are now identifying people doing this via MAC address, but it’s still fully possible.

She’ll meet the same fox news correspondent fate as your average Tulsi Gabbard.

Eh somewhat. I think they were careful enough to just have the loans not actually be in their name if you follow it as deeply as Ed Zitron has. But Nvidia is screwed from a different angle as they’ve set up expectations of selling more GPUs to data center builders each quarter in order to justify their share price.

That’s still much better than holding the actual bag though.

It isn’t a “private public partnership” without completely fleecing the public in the exchange.

“Military grade” means cheap as fuck.

Cheap as fuck yes, but also a giant rip-off as well. It isn’t military grade without that skimming off as much of that military industrial complex dollar as possible.

Yep agreed with all of that but I think it costs too much per user to really have an ad based business model.

It’s probably both long term. Ads plus limits. “Buy Google AI Plus to talk to Gemini more.”

Only problem is nobody will pay for it, people don’t even want to use it for free.

I was extremely AI hesitant, but recently I was just like fuck it, I’ll use these tools.

I went on Google AI mode multiple times and I noticed:

1. As long as you aren’t generating images, you can basically do free tokens forever on it.
2. It has no ads.
3. It’s better at finding relevant information than search is.

I found a set of peripherals with it that actually matched my preferences and were not listed on the slop ratings sites. Then I bought it without a hope of Google seeing a red cent from the transaction.

All of this is to say that…they torched their actual business with revenue to give away a largely ad-free thing that’s a money furnace and has such negative public sentiment that it probably gets zero traffic except people that are hooking it up to opencode to get free tokens.

It seriously doesn’t even require you to login. Everything about it is so fucking stupid from a business angle.

For some reason this reminded me of this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zug1B8DSkWw

Which I don’t think is much about being happy to see financial bubbles bust but kinda seems like it could be.

Dead cat bounce

Wonder who will be in the bathtub explaining it this time

Bout fucking time

Yeah, I haven’t used a windows PC for work in like a decade.
