Yes, the sociopath, narcissist and billionaires have taken over. There is no more democracy. There is no more rule of law.

And what do you do to those sociopaths, narcissists, and billionaires? Talk to them to death? Your words have no meaning to them. You can’t expect empathy from sociopaths. That’s literally in the definition of the word.

There is probably no way, at this point, to end the corruption peacefully. Possibly no way at all.

No, there isn’t. We were past that about 10-20 years ago.

You’re going to have a pretty tough time with DB0. I don’t think any of us want AI bots posting fake posts or lazy slop bullshit, but many of us just see LLMs as a tool. It’s not the technology’s fault that a bunch of rich assholes want to drive the economy to the ground over it.

Sure, if they are using Copilot. Copilot is fucking garbage.

If they made a model that was half as good as Claude or Kimi or Qwen, they wouldn’t be in this mess.

Yeah, the text-based style of DF makes it inaccessible for 99% of the potential players.

So, you’re a robot?

This is the first time I’ve seen a four-way version of this meme.

Yeah, but I’m willing to bet that there are more RimWorld players than Dwarf Fortress players.

People use Exchange server? In the year of our lord 2026?

“Journalism”

Okay, apparently, the hundreds of thousands of dollars figure was BS.

The Chinese models are significantly better and will outcompete the models from the US, it was just a matter of people realizing that.

Maybe not as good as Claude, but they are good enough, and open-source, and free. The US market is going to learn the hard way why open-source curbstomps greedy bullshit.

OpenAI will be the first to fall, and then better players like Claude will be forced to release more open-sourced models.

they will lobby for tariffs or banning Chinese models outright also seems to be coming true.

Then it’ll just come from Germany or France or elsewhere. It doesn’t take millions of dollars to train a good model, despite these US companies pretending that it does.

The piefed developer can get fucked. This one person has caused nothing but chaos in the Lemmy community. I’ve seen similar posts to this one, having to do with different topics, where admins and mods have to put out some stupid statement to counter some dogshit decision or opinion from this person.

A few examples:

Government incompetence and lack security practices have been around waaaaay longer than AI.

What’s this, you say? Does it involve running LM Studio with a GLM-4.7 Flash model? And it only costs the kilowatts for my video card? And it can only go out to the internet if I allow it to?

“AI data center”? Do we actually know it’s a dedicated data center for AI?

You and I are typing a message on a server that’s hosted in a data center.

Gen X here. You want me to pay $60-70 for a game with Denuvo crap on it, littered with microtransactions, and has shit scores on MetaCritic?

Fuck that bullshit!

This whole thread started with:

Five nines means that you need people at their desks in shifts ready to start fixing something the moment there’s a problem

There’s no detecting and fixing something that fast. When you’re talking about less than 5 minute of outage time a year, it basically means you can’t have outages. Which is possible for some, but only for large reliable websites that have the resources to pull that off, and they still don’t always make the mark.

I’m not sure why that simple premise is disagreeable with the OP.

Well, only when they are forced to. The rest of the time, it’s all “here my social security number and credit card and all of my PII”.

Solid journalism from… *reads notes* Yahoo Finance.

No, no website does it. There is no such thing as 100% uptime. If it happens, great, but I can guarantee you that no website even aims for 5 nines of uptime.

Google is the benchmark for website availability and in 2022 they had an outage that lasted an hour, meaning they didn’t meet 4 nines for the year.

In 2022. In the other years, they had 100% uptime.

Also, yes, there are plenty of clients that ask for five-nines. Is it realistic? Probably not. But, they definitely ask.

If you miss your SLO target for the year, then you missed your SLO target. If you’re down for 60 minutes but fine for the other 11 months, 29 days and 23 hours, you still missed your yearly SLO.

I understand how SLO targets work. If somebody is asking for a five-nines as an SLO, they are basically asking for 100% uptime, because there is no such thing as a “five minute outage”, especially not one that is fixable without total automation.

Again, a human hasn’t even gotten paged and out of bed in 5 minutes time.
