Yeah, you did pull it out of thin air.

95%+ of you would be leaving massive, massive performance on the table by using Linux

Pulling numbers out of thin air.

Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.

Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.

But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.

Linux will be significantly worse

Is the significance in the room with us? All I’m seeing is marginal difference at this point.

Socialize the costs. Privatize the profits.

I don’t know what your products are. I’m speaking specifically about LLMs and LLMs only.

Seriously research the cost of LLM services and how companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are burning VC cash at an insane clip.

Ok, so you’re completely delusional.

The current business model is unsustainable. For LLMs to be profitable, they will have to become many times more expensive.

What are your plans when these AI companies collapse, or start charging the actual costs of these services?

Because right now, you’re paying just a tiny fraction of what it costs to run these services. And these AI companies are burning billions to try to find a way to make this all profitable.

I have heard of agents deleting tests or rewriting them to be useless like ‘assert(true)’.

Apples and oranges.

A 200km train ride is less risk exposure than a 400km train ride.

Except that a short trip is less risk exposure than a long trip.

I hate vibe coding. However, this is the best use of it. I’ve done it several times for scripts and basic HTML dashboards.

Unless I’m missing something, this is a pretty bog standard SQL injection, yeah?

JavaScript might be more widely appliable. Java is good to learn, too. If you learn Java, you can also learn Kotlin which is a glorious language to work with.

And all it takes is for one of those folks to be motivated and stupid to really muck things up.

I guarantee I will never use this information. But thank you anyway.

Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.

People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.

Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.

People don’t need AI slop at all. At least meat provides sustenance.

You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.

People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.

And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.

Meat, whether you think it’s moral or ethical or not, serves a need. People need to eat. People don’t need AI slop.

It’s kind of like saying, “Well yeah I leave this 50kw diesel generator running 24/7. It’s way less environmentally damaging than meat. No, I’m not using the power it generates for any real purpose, but who cares, it’s environmentally friendly!”
