The EU has been on a decade-long crusade to destroy the internet.

I think you'll find that's Google and Meta.

Just step back and ask yourself what each side of that debate is trying to achieve and why. What is motivating them? Why are they motivated in that way?

Don't just recite what you "know", think, look, research, figure it out. It might sound good to have a one-liner like this in your back pocket, but do you really believe it after looking at the publicly available information that it is their real intention to conduct a "crusade to destroy the internet"?


Advertisement has been on a decade-long crusade to destroy the internet.

Advertising funds large parts of the open internet. Killing ad means killing independent content creators for example. Over-regulation and censorship like "chat-control", that only benefits big players like Amazon, Meta etc. is what kills the internet.

independent of what or who?

independent of established corporations and institutions

well, there's plenty of that out there (including from me) without ads on Codeberg

You mean: the planet.

(because it drives consumerism)


We have RUINED the food industry. It started with gig-work delivery. Restaurants will never recover from GrubHub and ghost kitchens. Food quality and service died years ago.

Now, they don't have to pay for or manage delivery people, or pay anyone to make their menus for them.

There are no consequences to lying. People have a bad experience sure, but they'll forget next time they order off grubhub and simply search for "burrito near me" and click on the first good looking food.


The server wont start for me. "ERROR: Application startup failed. Exiting." "mlx-vlm-server stopped with status 3"

Both me and my friend have been racing eachother to create airport simulators. Wildly on-topic for me.


How do you plan to release them? Free? Mobile? And are you using AI to help deliver?


Oh we aren't really planning to. This was purely a vibe coding thing for fun. I mentioned I wanted an airport simulator similar to another game we both play. He started vibe coding one. So I started vibe coding one lol. His was in straight up dotnetcore, mine in unity. We got interestingly far but both kind of slowly let it go, they weren't high quality.

Ah I wanted to play it. I am vibing a helicopter side scroller.

Google splits with the creator 50-50. If you got paid $1000, so did Google. And given their hosting infrastructure, network, and other tools, I would say it's a miracle they don't charge to upload.


Not a miracle if the math works out such that their margins cover the infrastructural fixed costs. Just simple economics.


You clearly don't work in AI:)


The models are the least valuable part of all of this.


Of course. Maybe not successfully but a "virus" is just software. If it runs software, it runs software, full stop. Maybe the same APIs are not available or behave differently, so it may be buggy or non-functional, but that's true of Half-Life here too.


These are not the same.


Indeed, learning about mitochondria is more innocuous...


Am I correct it looks like this was published 3 days ago? They made that video.. in essentially 2 days?


I doubt it based solely on that there are multiple interviews including from one of the paper’s authors. Given that Veritasium is a very well known channel at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they were contacted instead and then roughly coordinated the timing of the paper and video release together.


I very much disagree that it's coming. I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works. There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market, where things like EPS mean absolutely nothing and speculation no longer requires actual returns.


>I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works.

Is this not just "It's different this time" thinking? I remember it being used all the time during the dotcom boom


> There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market

You mean 0DTE babies?


It’s unfortunate, but this exact sentiment precludes every market crash. Just before dotcom burst it was the same thing. Technology will change everything the nasdaq will continue to grow in the technology age, etc etc. eventually the chickens come home to roost as they say


It did though. Look at it now. The crash was incredibly short lived, and if you try to point it out on a graph of the last 30 years, you won't be able to find it.
