If you run your own AI and watch how long it takes, how much it runs up the resources for a few seconds, then you might get an idea of what it's like hosting at least three copies of a multi-terabyte LLM, in memory, with much shorter response and a much bigger knowledge base (Gemini by Google), taking millions of prompts per minute. Then think of every company that's hosting major public AI services.

Then remember that the only things good that come out of AI are natural language inference for voice commands and slightly improved developer processes.

Hosting it is just a reminder of the rapid environmental, ecological and cultural destruction that is the AI bubble.

In summary: Perhaps, if the hoster wants it for streamlining their dev process. Otherwise it can be replaced with a far more efficient standard algorithmic program, which is what we had before.

Good point, with a caveat. The vast majority of aforementioned demand on China is terrible quality. That doesn't mean that the only reason Chinese trash manufacture exists is because of foreign contracts. In fact, I believe very few of them were actually 'asked to make trash' by way of making it as cheaply as possible.

I am willing to stake that nobody, not even American businessmen, paid those manufacturers to create ten thousand seller pages on Amazon and the like with randomly generated six character names.

And things tailored for Europe that are produced in any other country are miles better than the slave colonies of Guangdong Province. Things made in: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Germany, USA, Canada, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Nepal, even Malaysia and Singapore.

I find that, just as some people don't think trans men exist, some people don't think woman can be rapists or paedophiles.

Original caption is "Country girls make do" and I swear that corn used to drip

ICE demanded Google give everything they had on a pro Palestine, Black, student, journalist, non-American who used to live in the USA, and Google did so without notifying said individual, which seems to be the kicker here.

His name is Amandla Thomas-Johnson, and here is a story from last year explaining that he's in the crosshairs of ICE because he attended a protest on campus in the USA.

It seems to be a 2016 CBBC reference involving a puppet called Hacker

Oatly Barista is the best I've had fs. You can't buy the cheapest available product with the largest percentage of substitute ingredient and expect it to accurately represent the entire range of possibilities.

Word of mouth does some heavy lifting here I reckon
