I thought the same.

Have you thought that there was a massive physical infrastructure left behind by the original railroad builders, all compatible with future vehicles? Other companies were able to buy the railroads for low prices and use.

Large Language Models change their power consumption requirements monthly, the hardware required to run them is replaced at a rapid rate too. If it were to stop tomorrow, what would you be left with? Out of date hardware, massively wasted power, and a gigantic hole in your wallet.

You could argue you have the blueprints for LLM building, known solutions, and it could all be rebuilt. The thing is, would you want to rebuild, and invest so much again for arguably little actual, tangible output? There isn't anything you can reuse, like others that came after could reuse the railroads.


I've been using GrapheneOS for years, I can't go back to another OS due to its ease of use, speed, and awesome features baked into my day to day use now.

There is one banking app that stopped working, and you know what? I dont use it now. I'm not about to let a bank dictate how I use my most personal device. I use a desktop if I need to access that info, and it forces me to be deliberate about it too.


We look forward to your redemption post next year. Sounds like you have a lot of unaddressed things you need to sort out. You know what to do.


Works for me, using Fedora with Plasma. Just fire it up in Brave, and install it as a PWA.

The one thing that bothers me is it can't tell if I'm at my machine when I'm not actively using it. People keep thinging I've bugered off from my desk.


I'm not sure these are autonomous. I think these might be just remote puppets tied to a human operating them.


Interesting, I'd like to know more. What makes you say that?


I love this. The graphics on the box alone make me happy.


What are the chances of Fossil making the software open source? How cool would that be?


Yes. You are what you eat.
