And then that growth promptly blew its budget because it's using expensive cloud AI services from Vercel and it has no means of monetization whatsoever to bring money in.

People can do whatever they want, of course. But they have to pay for the resources they consume while doing that, and it seems Cara didn't really consider that aspect of this.

I've mainly been using open-weight models I can run locally to back them, so it'll last as long as personal computers do.

But I really do find them useful, so they are getting it right in at least some cases.

It's not all imaginary, real money is being paid for AI services which in turn is being spent on GPUs.

Meanwhile, shoes for cloven hooves are custom and they cost a fortune. And I need four. :(

I actually want AI enhancements to many of the programs I use. I find them useful.

Now watch as I get tossed out the window.

I don't know, he left it kind of ambiguous whether he was talking about Putin or Trump. There's nothing in there that;s specific to either.

You missed out on buying while it was cheaper too, eh?

If they feel less need to add proper alt-text because peoples' browsers are doing a better job anyway, I don't see why that's a problem. The end result is better alt text.

I would expect it'd be not too hard to expand the context fed into the AI from just the pixels to including adjacent text as well. Multimodal AIs can accept both kinds of input. Might as well start with the basics though.

This is in a community specifically on the subject of Reddit.

Yeah, nothing against Ernest but developing and running kbin is just too big to be a one-man show.
