Replace OS before they replace you. Linux - the last adventure.

Eriction Problems Schmidt says that he wish he would be young again.

Why there are always petitions to ban something, not to create something, like eu based social network everyone can join and use for free ?

Armatures, I only write software using my hammer by punching holes in steel plates.

Maybe it’s becaue scientists have very poor imagination of the universe.

Not using AI Generated Code won’t make you programmer at all. It’s just another way to start a journey to alcoholism and loneliness in front of computer screen. The only difference is that this time you travel with junior developer for poor people.

What if 37 000 employes leave amazon same day ?

Docker fired 80% of their staff and went almost bankrupt, they were literally dead company and they make like 100 millions a year right now after 13 years. Docker inc was founded in Oct 2011. They got $435.9M founding according to crunchbase so they were valued at around 4 billions.

Open AI wants like a magnitude higher 6.5 billion for a year. They are valued at around 100 billions but they are nowhere where docker was when they were receiving big money. They want to be a consumer product and docker wanted to be consumer product and it failed. Github wanted to be consumer product and they got acquired by microsoft before they went bankrupt.

Just from this month they trying to sell it as much as they can.

OpenAI COO Says ChatGPT Passed 11 Million Paying users.

OpenAI hits more than 1 million paid business users.
https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/openai-considers-pricier-subscriptions-its-chatbot-ai-information-reports-2024-09-05/

6.5 billion they seeking divided by 11 million customers it’s 590 dollars per year and they charge 20 bucks per month that’s 240 dollars per year before taxes. They are loosing roughly 350 dollars per customer so they need at least double number of customers next year. Who is willing to pay 240 dollars per yer for technology that tells them what to do ? If I’m told what to do it’s called job and actually my employer is paying me for that not other thing around.

This is just another corporate product nobody wants so corporate will buy it and they will need to pay like what 6500 dollars per year to use it, given adoption of 1 million corporate users. Who is willing to pay 6500 per year per user for technology that needs such computing power to stay relevant that microsoft needs to revive power plant to cut costs.

This won’t survive.

But their operation cost is 5 billions per year, they plan to raise 6.5 billions from microsoft, apple and nvidia this year and they have not raised it yet. If their model fail next year and sales not happen will shareholders of big 3 pay 6.5 billions in 2026. There were couple companies that raised such amount of money at start like for example Docker Inc. Where is Docker now in enterprise ? They needed to change licensing model to even survive and their operation cost is just storage of docker containers. I doubt openai will survive this decade. Sam Altman is just preparing for Microsoft takeover before the ship is sunk.

Aren’t they going bankrupt next year ?

I think parents under 14 also cannot be charged.

There is difference between for profit company responsibilitires and government responsibilities. What EU did is in my opinion as an Apple user - they saw shit laying and they said let’s spread this shit all over the people that use those products. That’s what money penalty is and you’re claiming it’s fine and moreover you’re claiming that products that I legally bought with full awareness what they are ( I was using custom AOSP) should be banned from country in which I was born. That’s what I feal. What I feel is I should leave EU and Europe because it will kill itself by people like you. Well good luck with that attitude, becaue it would happen to you at some point and you will end up with no money whatsoever because some government administration worker will say you’re guilty of doing something that is part of your income for years.

Yeah, well nobody’s perfect, as long as they don’t waste my time and I don’t see ads based on what I wrote in my messages I can use them. I don’t have time to install custom OS everytime my android phone breaks or compile my own chromium because every chromium based browser spies on me more or less. It’s all about sacrifice money or time. If open source software will stop wasting people time and start automating stuff people will switch and they will switch in no time. Like look yahoo->google or myspace->facebook. 2-3 years those companies can be gone or mostly rely on corporate - like they’re seeing it and facebook and google is trying to switch to corporate customers as fast as they can because they know they can’t keep up on consumer market, they’re mostly done here. Regular people don’t care about rounded shapes or where their files are, they want get shit done so they don’t spent so much time on it. If someone creates gui that enables them to do it and have open source product begind the scenes there is no point to not to change the story. But for now I don’t see it.

I agree that they were and are aiming for minorities, like their logo was a rainbow for decades. They do it to give some sort of exclusiveness to the brand by being inclusive.

At lest they’re consistant for me and don’t change their minds to much over the years. They are now forced to make changes because government lobbying against them what I’d say is more evil than everything on this planet. For example maybe I don’t want to use USB-C, maybe I want to sit naked in my house build from shit, eating peanut butter from my ass in the middle of nowhere with my own solar panel but government bans me from doing it because some people say it’s bad for you. More bad than stuff I’m allowed to do like buy bleach and drink it.

Well I got what I paid for and I wish all people get that feeling and stop forcing other people to use something because they think it’s better to do it their way. I want it my way - like Frank Sinatra once said.

So China is good. Nice to hear that, at least I know with whom I am writing. What’s next command comrade ?

Sure, thanks. Wish you all the best too. What next order you got from your commander ?

At least you know from start what you sign up for, not find out about it after 10 years transition from “Don’t be evil” to doing mostly evil stuff.
