Technology@lemmy.world•Execs Confused and Horrified by the Huge AI Bills After Thinking They Could Replace Workers for FreeEnglish
2·2 days agoHave you heard about “Tokenmaxxing”?
Since many AI companies didn’t have a reasonable limit on the number of tokens for the amount of money you paid, companies started telling their employees to use as many tokens as possible. LLMs improve with more tokens (although there are diminishing returns).
So users tried to exploit the ‘lure offer’, and AI companies had to change the billing. It’s still below the real cost, but no longer this insanely expensive option.

What did they offer? A boring VR world.
They should have tried to copy a known hit game to VR, like Minecraft, Sims, Second Life, or any of the popular shooter games… Of course, with enough changes not to get sued.
After a successful start and a loyal player base, the chatrooms and monetization might have worked.
Reality has a well-known left-wing bias.
You know, when Elon tried to “fix” his AI to lean right, we got ‘mecha-hitler’ and anti-semitism.

16·13 days agoIt’s insane to write about “spending habits” when people have trouble just getting by.
Any article about such topics should blame those who are really responsible: the increasing gap between the rich and the middle class/poor, as well as the politicians who push this even further.
Reporters who blame the people who rely on debt just to get by are lacking empathy and decency.
Have you noticed how healthcare companies were suddenly much nicer after Luigi? It only lasted for a short while, but even that while saved lives.
I’m not proposing to measure that time frame and act accordingly, but it probably would help.

Technology@lemmy.world•"We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'English
2·16 days agoI was also thinking about buying it, but I want my phone to be my phone.
I actually use my browser from time to time. What is the use of a phone if you need a “backup phone” just to look something up?
Also, their reasoning for blocking the browser is absurd: “you could use the browser to access social media.” I don’t use TikTok, Instagram, X, or the like, so why do I need to be nannied?

It’s not as bad as you think. I know many people who moved here (Germany) from outside the EU and are now on their way to citizenship or already have it.
You don’t have to be a “privileged white person” for that either.

That’s why I mentioned that they finally reached human trials. That’s the last big step before they can be released. New technology needs time to go from the lab to practical use.




No, they are probably just building data centers to replace any non-physical labor with AI. And hope to be able to do that in the future for physical labor with robots: To create a permanent underclass of unemployed people and the 1% living like gods.
Not really better but that’s what it looks like to me.
