As long as the handful trillionaires own everything by the end of the game, what does it matter to them?

You can ask them to type one of the following sentences:

"I know what I'm doing, and giving a random website access to my USB host is the right thing to do."

"I'm an idiot."

I love this because the idiots would type out that they know what they're doing and the pros would save time by typing "I'm an idiot."

hah I did think of the second one, but the first didn't occur to me.

> To minimize any disruption, we're offering a promotional code for 20% off select new Kindle devices B4PT5XAJ74 as well as a $20 eBook credit that will be automatically added to your account after purchasing a new device (valid through June 20th, 2026, 11:59pm PST - Terms and Conditions apply).

That does minimize the disruption for me. In fact I will never buy a new kindle nor buy an ebook from amazon ever again.

For me it's the other way round - I used to buy from them when I could dedrm, and ensure that they can never pull this kind of bait and switch on me. Every ebook I've bought can be read on any device I own. I will not accept any other level of service.

I've always thought we should maintain a list of people like you. Every time we cure something, like blindness in one person, one of you gets picked and your eyes get poked out. That way the total amount of suffering will be conserved, but those who think that's necessary get to be the ones who pay the price for their beliefs.

In the first half of my comment, I explained that I don't think people should suffer. I'm just also aware that if everyone can pick their child's attributes, it could lead to a nation of blond-hair, blue-eyes kids

No it wouldn't. If these traits were everywhere, then they would no longer be exclusive and therefore would lose their appeal. There is nothing inherently "hot" or "attractive" about blond hair or blue eyes.

Would you pick blond hair, blue eyes for your kids? Would black people pick it? Asian?

I wouldn't, but I can imagine a lot of people would

If you wouldn’t, why would a big chunk of the population do it? And if they did it, so what? Why is blonde and blue eyes bad?

Btw, I also wouldn’t if I could choose.

You must have had a very good surgeon then! Congrats!

Could you explain the incompatibility? These seem like orthogonal axes to me.

Just a joke, but you’re right I can like open source and not want to self host

It should be at least cheaper if anyone can host it, no?

I think this is the majority view.

If rumours OpenAI are doing 70% margins on inference and Anthropic doing 30% margins, then open weights models hosted on clouds happy with 10% margins increase competition and decrease cost. I’m game, like most. Much easier compliance with data sovereign concerns too.

> OpenAI are doing 70% margins on inference and Anthropic doing 30% margins

That difference is actually pretty surprising. Is Claude that much more expensive to host? The end-user pricing seems to be pretty similar, or better for OpenAI.

You could have given Linus the weekend off.
