Oh yeah, I agree completely. It’s more of an acknowledgement that the crisis has already happened rather than a warning.

because now it’s around the same level as it was during the major financial crash

At the rate things are going, Europe just might.

Chimps will gang up and murder tyrannical leaders, we could learn so much from them. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2119677-chimps-beat-up-murder-and-then-cannibalise-their-former-tyrant/

ATLAS has some benchmarks in the repo, and it’s comparable to opus 4.6, you don’t actually even need 128gb model for that. An 8 bit quantized model will run with around 32gb and still perform quite well.

Yeah that’s true, depending on the electricity costs, you could be better on a subscription. Especially with DeepSeek, which is incredibly cheap now.

You should be able to get very decent performance with 128gb vram running Qwen 3.6 with something like https://github.com/itigges22/ATLAS especially if you run MTP https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF

A friend of mine gets something like 50 tokens a second with it, and output quality is quite decent.

Agreed, all the mass layoffs are really helping build class consciousness among the labor aristocrats.

Nice, another vapid reply from our resident fascist troll. The reply wasn’t meant to convince you of anything since we all know exactly what you stand for. It’s to educate people on the misinformation you spread here and how to address it.

Oh, but you do support a government in tangible terms because you support the war the regime is fighting and the atrocities it commits against its people. The regime literally kidnaps people off the street and forces them into fighting. You’ve openly stated many times that you support continuation of the war and that you stand on the side of a openly fascist regime. That makes you a fascist.

Also, imagine being over the age of 13 and using terms like authoritarian. 🤡

The term authoritarianism is utterly meaningless because all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance. The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.

The reality is that every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence. The ability to enforce laws, suppress dissent, and maintain order is derived from control over police, military, and judicial systems. Whether a government is labelled authoritarian or democratic, the fundamental basis of its power lies here. Therefore, the only meaningful questions to ask are which class interests it represents, and to what extent can it be held accountable to them.

What ultimately matters is which class controls the institutions of state violence. In capitalist democracies, the government represent the interests of the economic elites who fund political campaigns, own media outlets, and control key industries. Western public lacks the mechanisms necessary to hold the government to account, and the ruling class is disconnected from the broader population. That’s precisely what’s driving political discontent all across western sphere today. Meanwhile, in so-called authoritarian regimes, the ruling party serves the working class as seen in countries like China, Cuba, or Vietnam. Hence why there is widespread public trust in these government and they enjoy broad support from the masses.

To add to that, the whole idea of state capitalism is a misnomer. It basically says that while you have state owned enterprise, the internal capitalist relations within it remain largely the same. While that’s true, there is a fundamental difference here. Capitalism is a system where people who own capital hire workers to exploit there labor with the purpose of increasing their capital. The goal of capitalist enterprise is to create wealth for the owners with any social benefits being strictly incidental. On the other hand, the purpose of state enterprise is to provide social value. Workers in state owned companies are producing things that the society needs. They are working for their own benefit and those of others around them. Therefore, the nature of work itself is fundamentally different from actual capitalism.

I guess I shouldn’t be expecting much from somebody who equates a socialist state where means of production are publicly owned with fascism.

haha I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it

truly

you do support the fascist regime in Ukraine tho, or gonna pretend that’s also a funny story fash?

just discovered his channel, and yeah it’s fantastic

O7

go home fash

Oh yeah good point, being airborne is a big factor for sure. And yeah, if covid is anything to go buy, we’re just gonna let Ebola rip.

My understanding is that it’s just too good at killing people. The virus needs to have a long incubation period where the person is infectious, but doesn’t show symptoms to really get going.

neat

You could’ve said the exact same thing about the internet in the early 2000s when the bubble was at its peak and you had a bunch of companies trying to make products that made no sense. But when the hype died down, and the bubble popped, we got a lot of very useful tech out of it. The situation with LLMs is exactly the same.

While LLMs are stochastic in nature, that doesn’t in any way make them useless. There are plenty of scenarios where they work extremely well. For example, just last week, I wanted to figure out how to decode RAW files from my camera. I have a Nikon, and it uses NEF format which is proprietary and has no open source decoder right now. I threw an LLM at decompiling a binary and tracing it in memory as it was doing the decoding. After a few days, the LLM managed to write the code that decodes the images. This is absolutely not something I would’ve been able to do on my own. And the fact that there aren’t any open source drivers yet, shows that it’s a very difficult task to accomplish. That’s just one real world example.
