they already signed it over when their for-profit subsidiary made a deal with Microsoft

just in time for nobody to really care about programming because LLMs are so good at translation and all computer code and programing are a subfield of linguistics...

I'm neither obscuring nor revealing a truth becuase these events are ongoing.

and I'm being quick and lose with the use of words. facebook cannot merge with microsoft because facebook is a subsidiary of meta corporation.

but on the level of analysis i'm trying to think in, google's antitrust case agaisnt their government (which is done), microsoft's recent purchase of activision blizzard (which was almost undone but got through in the end) all have a hand in this.

who will win more out of this? microsoft? or google/alphabet??

facebook does seem like a smaller player, microsoft OWNS gaming now (specially after blizzard-activision).

but Meta is very insterested in gaming technology. so maybe they can also "poach" some talent now that openAI is all but publically bankrupt??

how long ago did Meta try to do their own crypto "Libra"? fact of the matter LLMs are chinese tech. else tiktok would have been successfully stopped. why did all this happen after chinese visit due to a trade union in south asia?

finally, I know of 3 giant corporations that have repeated the re-structuring which from my viewpoint was pioneered by google/alphabet. one is facebook/meta, and the other is a chinese company (alibaba?) I don't even know this which is ok because I am ranting on the internet in a buried discussion in a public forum

no, I did say "literal alphabet" i.e. not some bigger corporation...

but I play with words, so take it as you are able

i'm saying something closer to: if microsoft merges with facebook, then they really are both trying to get bought by google's parent entity

is the type of wealth that makes land be worth more in some places than in others

this gets really difficult when consdiering that the same unit of wealth also prices food, AND gambling

so who has (owns, can build) LLMs-sized datacenters?

doesn't facebook (i.e. Meta) have their own infrastructure???

my "high level" view of this: the letter M (microsoft xOr meta) fighting for the ONE spot in the literal "alphabet" (google)

well, tuta's business model seem to boil down to "vendor lock in"

I say this as a paying customer, but I'll admit I haven't decided how I feel about the new plans (as announced together with the name change) so maybe my opinion is outdated

money is a manifestation of (collective) energy

combined conceptually with "that which has andor holds most value" where value is a dynamic concept whose precise meaning (significance) changes

but I don't even know... predicted xOR predicAted

there are much cheaper ways, chief amongst them is to use paper and pencils

one man's luxury...

how did you learn to program computers without computers around?

i'm just exactly at that "moment in life" where it's either 'make' money (i.e. collect it from others using trade) or recieve welfare (ask for donations, beg on the streets, call parents...)

the more people out there that write, the less writtings by people are worth

scarcity never creates value, but it always incresases it

but also: the more pople have written, the cheaper text and AI bot training become

which makes me feel in a funny situation, the more I write, the better I get at it, but it also makes it simpler for AIs bots to learn my style and make it worthless by the inverse-scarcity phenomenon

you're ignoring my point, well.. not exactly "ignoring", more like explaining how and why the issue I was critizicing is completely irrelevant from where you stand

however, thanks to all this dialogue, do see where my own critizicism goes amiss; and for that, thanks a lot.

Number "one" is invented. Zero is discovered

the circle is invented, the value of PI is discovered

it's the political principles I'm critizicing.

the technical problem is really essentially a matter of trust, blockchains solved this problem in the technical sense.

the opreations of large organization are typically private property... this is a touchy issue because technology corporations are essentially the government by this point

I guess I should be glad this isn't really my problem, I'm just worried about the public and political consequences of what I see as potentially dangerous mistakes being made on the idelogical level

every major business company has also done this for the USA... not just tech companies

so I agree, business as usual

firefox and being able to compile it on you machine may do the trick for a little while

but policy decisions aren't like technical ones.... principles are at play at every layer above the strictly-technical discussion
