And the downfall of anthropic starts, OpenAI has had this all in the bag the whole time. Anthropic is a poor imitation of Sam's Master plan, it was over before it even started. Mon…

It's generally easier to start typing your street address (maybe 4-5 characters), see an auto fill, click your address and all information, including the zip is already filled out.…

Let me reiterate some points for people here: Income and revenue sources always, inevitably, and without fail, determine behavior.

I will repeat here again the same comment I made when they posted their constitution: The largest predictor of behavior within a company and of that companies products in the long …

Anthropic (for the Superbowl) made ads about not having ads. They cannot be trusted either.

Conway's law seems apt here. The behavior of Claude will mirror the behavior and structure of anthropic. If anthropic deems one revenue source higher than another, Claude's behavio…

The largest predictor of behavior within a company and of that companies products in the long run is funding sources and income streams (anthropic will probably become ad-supported…

Awful awful awful, ads lead to anti consumer behavior, anti free market competition, turns capitalism into a pay to win game, are similar to a cancer, incentivize the creation of e…

Dutch Mao (mentioned briefly in the wiki) is a variant where everyone comes up with a hidden rule before the game begins, and is one of my favorite games of all time. Followed clos…

Not everything has to be black and white, there is middle ground for improvement. I'm not sure anyone loves the same MegaCorp™ ad plastered all over buildings, highways and stoplig…

Last year ChatGPT helped save my life from having a stroke. LLMs are incredibly beneficial in providing medical information and advice today.

Throwing my two cents in, the problem with all of this, is that we're dealing with artificially created scarcity, for content that can be easily duplicated. Artificial scarcity is …

I'm still a fan of, and use Bitcoin cash every day for small purchases like coffee (primarily using the bitpay debit card for this)

Woah now, I would completely disagree, heroin does not make you happy, short term pleasure is not the same thing. New information which helps people is inherently a good thing, but…

Another alternative is patreon. Remove all ads on your site other than ones to your crowdfunding page. Users are happy, the site makes money in proportion to it's quality.

I make money through patreon, patreon mainly advertises itself through their users advertising their own patreon pages on their own content, which is far different than what you me…

You are wrong, ads only waste people's time. It's just the main way that online companies have found to turn attention and time into money, and it's never great for the consumer. U…

If adblocking is left up to the browser than companies who own the browser have a financial incentive to let certian ads from paying companies through, as has been seen by adblock …

For reminders I'll usually just send an email to myself, or actually set a reminder through the Android calendar app.

Yeah I believe that is possible, most of the stuff you can do in inbox, you can do in Gmail with more control.

Hmm, I think one thing people forget, is that most of the time benevolent centralization, and revolution to another centralization when necessary is more valuable to consumers, tha…

This is not quite true if you are using an HD wallet.
