I am implying that they will subsidise the LLM inference product by increasing the prices of other products.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Hetzner has not spent 1 trillion dollars!

Hasn't that already happened?

You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML.

Excited to see the price of every other product they offer triple for no reason.

By that logic every appeal to the truth is a No True Scotsman fallacy.

Just one more hit. Just one more hit. We're gonna make it this time. It's going to the moon....

If we are going to be honest we should be completely honest. "We want to increase our profits and hence we choose to lay people off."

Is there any evidence of people actually using it?

I presume you mean "the maximum physical limit of bad ethics" rather than any particular ethical standard.

Omarchy is basically just Arch with a bunch of configuration. It's not a particularly useful project, and the author is noted fascist DHH. So probably not worth your time.

I don't think there is a technocratic solution to this problem. Very rich people are using their money to DDoS the internet, for no good reason. We just need to identify these peop…

I think the sheer magnitude of the economics have made the scales fall from a lot of people's eyes. For decades people put stuff on the internet for free on the assumption it was "…

If LLM training is found to be a fair use (looks likely), no license will help.

I think this post finally convinced me shells are awful and should be avoided.

This does not sound like an accurate description of "rational agents". A rational agent may value something less because of a perceived second-order effect (e.g. "If I accept a pri…

That specific conclusion is unaffected, but that doesn't make it okay. If they used fake numbers, but the conclusion were still the same, you presumably wouldn't think that was oka…

I had to look 3 times to see what you meant. That's pure evil!

Interesting fact, but the slop filler is distracting.

I don't think it makes sense to say you "made money" when you still have an open-ended liability active.

This joke only works if you actually impose a cost on AWS of 1.7 billion. If they just serve you a bill for no reason, it's still your problem.
