This is just a normal “Surveillance Capitalism”. ALL corporations feed on our data and they ALL collect/sell and infringe on our privacy, ALL the time - nothing new here…

“And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.”

That’s not how the internet works, but nice try though ;-)

Not judging ? I assume you mean ‘free’ ? It is more difficult now. Groq.com once claimed that they didn’t collect data from the free service, but I just checked their privacy rules, and they have now learned the proper Capitalist virtue of surveilling their users and sell their data. Perhaps one of the other fast npu endpoints, cerberus, or sambanova, that are not directly focused on selling data ?

Duckduckgo ai doesn’t require login, but are very limited for chat.

Alternatively, pick free Chinese AI services ? I guess the data they can accumulate are pretty useless to them unless you buy much over there, but not sure to be honest.

Maybe a vpn and gpt4free ? Someone can see and train on your messages alright, but they don’t know who. This gives different models each time, so maybe not cool.

Something like aihorde maybe okay. Your messages are openly processed elsewhere, but you are not likely to be tracked. There’s a lot of personal chat models available. It afaik still requires a ‘small’ nvidia card to join in. Vpn could help anonymity.

I dislike the whole idea/musk/maga, but there are problems with wikipedia, and it is naive to think it is unbiased - money and pressure breaks that principle really fast when necessary.

Here, grokopedia were absolutely right about Russia/Ukraine, and surprisingly the first western/US based platform to actually honestly write what Russia says instead of inferring what Russia says/want from ridiculous rumors/claims from the anti-russia campaign/pundits. Wikipedia is filled with biased ‘truths’ on that article and likely all other high stakes pro-liberal views.

All that unfortunately just means that wikipedias leadership is lying, and that we now have not one, but two biased sources of ‘truth’. Each blasting their own path - away from unbiased scientific truth. We cannot trust sources originating from the Western hemisphere where money incentives are above the search for truth. We also see it in our media, where journalists write whatever they are paid to write. Profit and scientific truth only correlate if scientists/oligarchy have the same goal, but usually they don’t. Profit and Truth are orthogonal to each other and only overlap at one point.

I wouldn’t use/support the private/racist grokopedia - even when verifiably less biased than wikipedia on Russia. I suspect that ‘truths’ are biased in both. Wikipedia are pretty good at non-controversial topics, but slightly to heavily biased towards the liberal view on most controversial topics (especially current western propaganda topics, bad Russia, bad China, many sexes good, etc). OC the Guardian is at the forefront of deliberate liberal anti-russia propaganda in the West, so they have to write biased claims to keep their readers convinced, and keep the conflict going (money pouring in).

In the end, it is just two right-wing databases fighting for supremacy - anything not right-wing are shut down and other activist - or non-capitalist encyclopedias have been build around on the net instead of fighting wikipedias bias. (no, a ‘liberal’ is not ‘left’, they are all capitalists, and thus all following the capitalist doctrines).

Not recommending anything, but; with all the guns Americans have, its pretty wild that such people is still here. Apparently, schools are an easier target…

Oi, the US/Plutocratic anti-China propaganda is running in high gears atmo 🙃 Why anyone would believe these obvious moronic claims about ‘other guys’ doing exactly what US Plutocracy and Capitalism have done for centuries, are beyond me. But they do anyway… Perhaps complete ignorance of what the West and their contrived ideology are doing in/to the world ? Who knows…

Anyway, congratulations to China for pushing though all the bullshit and continues attacks from US (and its liberal puppets), and because they won against the US Empire of Lies… In fact, congratulations to all enemies of the psychopathic US Plutocracy: Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and so on and so on. All victims of the Western ideological dictatorship through a hundred years…

Seems incompatible with Capitalism. ‘Surveillance-capitalism’ is a huge problem, and no other system in history have gathered so much private data about its citizens. Everything we do on the internet, or in some closed ecosystem, is indirectly monitored and the market system knows all about us, our activities, our social groupings, opinions etc and this knowledge is not used for our benefit. Further, as long as we might influence the system, or as long as we might have digital data ‘belonging’ to someone else, capitalism will step in and take control of our ‘privacy’. We and privacy are a threat to that system…

I read 6+ m ago that China are already doing tests with both deep sea and space compute. Nvidia isn’t leading.

Also: "With Starship, we’re expecting launch costs much lower.” Starship ?? Okay, then it will never happen.
