The interesting thing about weed and ADHD, is that, since weed is a stimulant, if you find the right microdose (edible) it's super super energizing and you can focus even better because it's stimulating the under active executive part of your brain.

Failure? They accomplished exactly what they intended to.

Hard to maintain. I.e. Nvidia will now try to break intentionally.

But yeah. Anyone who thinks the app / stock model isn't going to be heavily censored...

Why else would it be free? It's absolutely state sponsored media. Or it's a singularity and they're just trying to get people to run it from within their networks, the former being far more plausible.

And I know, I know, the latter isn't how llms work. But would we really know when it isn't?

Lol well. When I saw this I knew the model would be censored to hell, and then the ccp abliteration training data repo made a lot more sense. That being said, the open source effort to reproduce it is far more appealing.

Yeah and with everything thats happening. It will be the usual slowly boiling the frog approach all the inflation / price gouging / shrinkflation has taken this far.

Currently they're already doing it, it's just a little bit slower and less dynamic: Goal, increase price by 25%

Step 1. Reduce package contents by 33% and provide a coupon for a reduced price by 25%

Step 2. Slowly oscilate the coupon from not available to being a less reduction in price.

Step 3: profit -- Increasing the total profit to vary between 8% and 33% more depending on the day.

This example was taken from the new 8 can la croixs, but plenty of other examples. It's just items that have a fixed size / quantity are harder to shrinkflate. Other stuff just reduce the weight a little at a time.

Rotisserie chicken for only $16.99*

*Surge pricing may apply. (At 6pm we add $4 to the price of our rotisserie chicken because...we can.)

Yeah, the writing is on the wall when it comes to digital pricing of grocery store products. The only way to fight this will be to refuse to shop at places that do it. Or get legislation to regulate it, but good luck getting that to happen, or even enforcing it. Especially with the current administration being bought and paid for by corporations.. Sadly it's doubtful we'll get enough people boycotting it, especially since at first they'll just keep the prices the same, when we need to be boycotting the store the moment it happens.

Then when they start switching to changing the pricing dynamically the digital price tags will already be installed across all their stores and there won't be any way to protest against it besides going to a completely different retailer that doesn't do it. If that's even an option, which for the poorest or least capable people, it likely won't be.

Surge pricing, coming to your dozen eggs at a corporate grocery store near you.

I feel like this is all grand standing. "Look I'm being tough on them" meanwhile working to broker a peace deal that gives Russia everything they want.

Idk why you're getting downvoted. This right here.

Yeah I agree with this. But then you have all the things thetyve taken away as well (account sharing etc...) and I could make a chart that shows the true price increases as well.

I think, frankly, all you have to do is look at Netflix's ever increasing annual net income for a very similar chart to above. They are price gouging, despite any additional costs they may have

Furthermore, their content library hasn't gotten better. They don't have a lot of the aaa content they used to have. So yeah, people started licensing it for more, and in a lot of cases Netflix said, nah we'll just have a shittier library.

done.

Sure sure. Hahah a fair point.
