“Thinking” mode is just sending wave upon wave of GPUs at the problem until the killbots hit their pre-set kill count. One could roughly simulate that by not using thinking mode and just feeding the answer and question back to the LLM repeatedly until it eventually gets an answer that might be “right”. These companies have hit a technological wall with LLMs and will do anything to attempt to look like they still have forward inertia.

They’re being brainwashed by corpo social media to self-censor, a necessary 1984 step.

Edit: Fuck.

Already happening in some places. Colorado, Florida, California, probably other states, already have insurance providers leaving areas within.

You could heat the water from the heat expelled from the room being cooled. I think Germany may have some hybrid systems, and I know the UK has, or used to have, multi-use devices.

Bigger issue is every time you add a task to a tool, it multiplies the points of failure and increases chances of failure. It also means when one machine dies, you lose everything.

Simple discrete systems that may or may not interact with each other is more reliable, and simpler to maintain.

Even if window AC units were the sole source of climate change energy use, who cares? “Efficient” appliances have always just been a twofold gambit.

1. Gives companies an excuse to upsell people on equipment they don’t need to replace yet
2. Let’s energy companies be lazy and not scale up grids like they should be doing

It’s all just about capitalist profits.

If you put a window AC unit in a field with a solar array to power it all day, it would make zero difference to the planet.

How many U.S. states include the letter “R” in their name? You may not know the answer off the top of your head, but any literate adult could figure it out with a list of the states and minimal effort. Unfortunately, OpenAI’s ChatGPT doesn’t know the answer, even its new GPT-5 model.

Duh, and/or hello. They can’t think or compute. They just look for the statistically correct answer from an n-dimensional matrix of data. They can’t even “compute” 2+2 even thought they are running on an actual computer.

Great reference manuals when trained well, that’s it for LLMs.

We’ll get a good taste of just how corrupt the US legal system now is, instead. Copyright law will still apply to we plebs, the Executive branch will overstep its powers, requiring some mafioso payoff from AI companies to keep doing what they do. The case will go away, mysteriously.

His god is Jack Daniels and you will respect the bottle. /s

Return the phone. Samsung Qualcomm phones, especially in the US, aren’t rootable. There are techniques to mask apps you don’t like via ADB, (mentioned elsewhere in comments) which makes it semi-usable, but it isn’t really removing the binaries, they are still on disk. The Facebook app or anything else could be re-enabled whenever without notice. (Usually happens during major OS updates.) It’s a game of cat and also cat.

Pixel phones, hilariously, are made with Samsung chipsets, and are a better option. However - Google closed-sourced Android with Android 16 and there’s no word as of yet if they’ll be releasing any AOSP bits anymore. Even if they do, the OS may be functionally neutered, which means every alt ROM is dead in the water going forward.

So, knowing all that, oddly, the best phone to buy right now is a Pixel 9, since it can run older Android builds, and GrapheneOS and the like will likely be patched for a few more years. Bonus points, you can probably get it cheap because it’s “old” - and avoid the “A” series, as they’re a cheapified version of the phone. Performance won’t be on par with the s25 series though, it’s still usable, but if you care about gaming or anything super-performant, Pixel 9 series will be slightly slower.

Or, buy an iPhone, and just hope that their legally defined stance towards privacy will at least be challenged when it inevitably turns out they were lying the whole time about user privacy.

Sucks because Samsung really makes good hardware and OneUI (until OneUI 7 anyway) was a great OS.

Bear in mind, this isn’t actually uninstalling the binaries, it is just masking them for that user account. Samsung/Google can turn them back on whenever they choose.

Not on Qualcomm chipsets. Which is most these days.

Which, also semi-related-unrelated Delta airlines signed up for MuskratLink as well.

T-Mobile also cozied up to the Mango 1.0 admin and Shit Pai to get the Sprint merger through and hoard great 5G spectrum in the Legere era, so they’ve been aligning with Fascism for quite a while.

One will find though, that most business will align with a garbage regime for the profits, so the best thing to do is spend as little money with these companies as possible, while admitting in the case of utilities, one can’t truly quit them completely.

Pretty sure Matt and Trey are Libertarians. Try again, Noememeeme the puppy butcher.

As if those in power have any idea what they are doing. They were handed this giant complex machine called America and are just sitting with their thumbs up their butts hitting it with a sledgehammer and whining why it won’t play “Don’t you forget about me”.

Everyone in every “free” nation across the globe has to act with the crap creeping into every single one of them. Ideally something civil and simple like just doing nothing and shutting all shit down.

This Constitution web site thing is just an attempt to “squirrel” people off Epstein.

I’d hope the majority are planning and prepping with necessary supplies, medications and such. At this point, just need whatever that tipping point/powder keg is. Probably best when the summer heat starts dropping off. It is downright deadly out there this summer in much of the US and/or world, and there will be (at least in the US) no social assistance, it will all be community-driven.

That’s because NYT is, and has been a garbage publication for over a century.

Hey, I think we found the “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Even if one did, say using x86, it would still just be interpreted by the CPU into the CPU’s native opcodes, as the legacy instruction sets are interpreted/translated.

Two factors, probably:

• America has never had a war on our soil, a real bona-fide war anyway. Smaller town or city-sized disputes that got whitewashed and omitted from history, of course. I don’t think we fully comprehend what is necessary to protect our freedom? Not apologist here either, just…that is partly why. Look at how much we constantly boast about WWII even though we just showed up late, well-rested with a bunch of guns, after almost turning Fascist ourselves.
• In America: You protest, you riot, you lose your job because you don’t have enough time off available to drive 2500 miles, or the reason isn’t valid based on made up rules by your employer. Then you lose your health insurance because you have no job. Then you lose your home because you can’t pay the mortgage (or more these days, rent), your car on a 5 year loan is repo’d. So now your family is homeless without transportation or medical care and you’re basically dead at that point.

They set the US up to make failure->death the easy fast default option unless you’re a proper peasant working the fiefdom.
