You just glossed right over the “dropped by 71%” bit…since when is that not terrible? That’s an incredible decrease in profits over the course of just 12 months.

The way they found to train their AI cheaper isn’t novel, they just stole it from OpenAI (not that I care). They still need GPUs to process the prompts and generate the responses.

Those aren’t commercial GPUs though. These are:

We already have an “everything app”. It’s called the browser.

Sure but Nvidia still makes the GPUs needed to run them. And AMD is not really competitive in the commercial GPU market.

That’s why “value” is in quotes. It’s not that it didn’t exist, is just that it’s purely speculative.

Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

Stock investing is just gambling on whatever is public opinion, which is notoriously difficult because people are largely dumb and irrational.

They also tried to make refrigerators into billboards, blocking visibility of anything inside. They were all broken within a matter of months, then replaced again with glass doors sometime later. These people are morons.

Microscopes can play games now!?

Yeah I don’t understand any of these words.

The beeper apps were never open source to begin with

Incorrect. They were open source right up until they moved over to the new Beeper app.

I didn’t read anything I looked it up. The app and the new “Beeper cloud” server are both closed source.

They’re all censoring answers. They get flack every day for not censoring enough of them.

Everything is closed source now.

How are you gonna fit an Arduino in a watch?

With what? I don’t own a watch factory.

It sounds like “the people” is just Migi, unless I’m misunderstanding. The guy who EEE’d Beeper.

I’m just very unoptimistic that this won’t come back as corporate garbage and not remotely resembling what it once was.

That’s funny because that happened to me not long ago. Sitting at my desk and bing but I’m doing something else so I ignore it but a few minutes later it’s ringing so much you’d think I had suddenly become a celebrity.

Someone opened some sort of help ticket but managed to email tens of thousands of employees. And there were >300 emails within just a few minutes, all saying something along the lines of “unsubscribe me from this list”. People are so dumb.

Then there was some sort of status update 15 mins or so later that started the whole thing again.

It’s certainly possible. If we the people cared enough about the impact of social media on society we would demand funding from our government, if only in the form of a grant or similar.

If they had any intention of EEE the fediverse, they wouldn’t have required users to opt into it, or made it unidirectional.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that their only intention was to head off antitrust actions. But I think it’s safe to say we won’t see anymore development on that front in the near future.
