Dude I fucking hope every AI chatbot get put behind a paywall soon. Do you know how quickly these pointless AI assistants would die?
People will still pay for it because consumerism or smth.
All that electricity ain't free, and the TechBros sure don't want to pay the light bill. It's not good enough that LLMs and their successors be useful and successful. Unless they change the whole economy, lots of somebodies have been burning trillions of dollars.
Its effectively a stochastic ponzii scheme where instead of being spent they just turn the money directly into entropy to noise-up all knowledge. It might genuinely ha:e been more productive to light it all on fire.
That is the end game of AI. They are free now as they are in disruption and growth phase with lots of competition. But in a few years most will have gone bust or been acquired until only 2-3 remain. Society will become dependent on them, and then they will roll out expensive subscriptions.
That's why I think is important to find a way to "community" train models, so there's always a free open source alternative.
„Then“ they will roll out expensive subscriptions?????
ChatGPT already at $200/mo you don’t consider this expensive yet?
Unless we get Mad Max instead.. I'm still really hopeful for mutually assured Destruction! Dystopian LamePunk isn't a future I'm onboard with.
Exactly.
If only it did, instead of just doing it
Hey man it’d be better than what we got now
It didnt say a swer that correctly.
Who uses Google in 2025?
IDK like 200 million people???
Don’t want AI on google?
Easy peasy just type -noai after your search string.
Don't want AI on your search?
Easy peasy just use Duck Duck Go.
Bonus: So many things but also no more captcha on every search because they don't like you protecting your own privacy.
DDG is amazing. They do have the option of AI though with duck.ai. Their products are great. I may be a bit bias, I've been using it for 12 years.
There is no way that actually works. Its probably going to show me porn or something.
Edit: What the fuck ?! (it works)
Don't want to get hit in the face? Easy. Just say "Don't hit me in the face" every time someone walks in the room.
