My dentist called me to book an appointment and less than 5 seconds later, my wife called. She’s obviously cheating on me with the dentist.

And by volume they mean loudness


Unless they become part of the military industrial complex


That won’t happen due to token limits. According to Anthropic, only about 5% of users hit the limit.


Let’s do some estimates:
The throughput of a node is
300 concurrent * (3600 / 30) = 36 000 messages / hour.
The cost per message, then, is $20 / 36 000 = $.00055…
With 300 messages per month, the compute cost for the AI vendor is 300*$20/36000 = $0.16 / month per user. By contrast, a subscription costs $20.
So given these assumptions, it’s other things (like R&D, safety research, training runs, free accounts, etc) that represent the bulk of the cost and those could be scaled down to turn a profit. What will they do? Give how hyped AI is currently and the competitive landscape, I don’t think they’ll increase prices that much. We have products like DeepSeek on the horizon which are much cheaper, so it’s more likely that they squeeze money out of it by becoming more efficient.


Was sent there by my employer, so not my money


I’m not in any way, shape or form defending the policy of Singapore, but… given that they do have a death penalty for this, why the hell did he carry 1 kg into the country? I’ve been to Singapore and I was afraid to even let go of my bags for a second, for fear that someone would plant something on me.


uncritical and self-deceptive
A.k.a stupid


This is how stupid his followers actually are.


Maybe it should just say “this means your intelligence is below average”. I genuinely think someone with <80 IQ would have a very low chance of understanding the text as presented in the screenshot.
Stupid people are people with human rights too, and they should be considered with empathy when building a society. That should be particularly obvious to a site that performs IQ tests. For every person with an IQ above 100, there’s a person below.

What are you asking here? Who do you want to stop from doing what with your manuscript?


They could, but will they?


“intervention”. Fucking news.


I suspect it was part of some stupid copy protection scheme


Because nothing has changed since then, except for the worse.

Adobe has no scruples.
I used to work for a full-disk encryption vendor in the 2000s, and one customer had an issue where the machine would BSOD sometimes if both our product and Adobe Acrobat were installed. It seemed a mystery or just a red herring - what on Earth did Acrobat do that could trigger a kernel-mode crash?
Turned out that every hour or so, Acrobat would be reading and writing back the master boot record (containing the OS bootstrap code and partition table) on the primary hard drive. The bug was ours (to unlock the hard drive keys at boot we had to put different data there and redirect I/O after Windows started, and this redirection code would crash once in a blue moon), but Adobe has no business mucking about with this extremely sensitive data.


I read this from the start with the mind that it’s probably an April fool’s joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It’s just a long article that could be true but isn’t. Stupid and a waste of time.


As if the law makes any difference.
