Nobody decided that smart phones, social media, and recommender algorithms would rule our lives. That just kind of happened. Dude can bloviate all he wants, but he's just one person. One day, you will need to negotiate an agreement, and the other party will employ an AI. You can walk if you want...

Saw an interview with Nate Soars. He seems relatively level headed compared to Yud. No "the sky is falling!" Just, "Maybe we should focus on this a little more." So I expect the nonsense probably comes mostly from Yud.

😬 this has always been a power of the president. Though the last remodel of this scale that I am aware of was when it burned to the ground.

I've lived in big cities(Atlanta, Phoenix) and rural areas. (Arkansas) I can get around just fine with a map. Turn by turn is just annoying. If I see where it's located on a map, I can usually get there, and learning a new city only takes a couple days. Just learn the main roads.

If I fork, do you want me to push, or just maintain it separate? Will be at least six months down the line. (Although I am about to pull the trigger on a Ryzen max AI 395, so maybe sooner)

Same. It's been coopted to to create regulatory capture, allowing a few big conglomerates to own the entire pharmaceutical industry. It's why insulin is hundreds of dollars a month. It creates perverse incentives for profit on the sick, elderly and dying.

I think that is a relatively small number of users. They're also the ones that use the most tokens. (Except maybe developers) They don't want subscribers that just chat. They want subscribers that ask less than 100 questions a month. And businesses that use their API.

Oh, they don't want you doing that. This is basically gaming the algorithm. The only social media platform I have seen that gives you direct control over the recommender is Reddit.
