The question is what would happen if they didn’t spend on AI.

People got used to instant answers from chatgpt and perplexity. If Google didn’t follow, their market share would slowly drop

I wonder why exactly do they want to increase AI compute that fast.

I would understand if their current infrastructure weren’t able to handle traffic of core services like Facebook. Then it would be justified because it would mean worse user experience and less profits in effect.

But AI? Have I missed something? As far as I know everything Meta have shown so far were just toys. So why are they in hurry?

Defenders finally have a chance to win, decisively

I’m curious how it will turn out to be in a long term. Are we going to have safer software? Because not only defenders will have a powerful tool, but attackers too. But at the same time, number of bugs is finite… Can we in theory one day achieve literally zero bugs in codebase?

Nice, but… why?

Totally agree. Downvote button is for marking low quality posts, not to express disagreement. For disagreements there is a comment section.

When an AI fills in the boilerplate, generates the implementations, writes the tests, the apprentice never develops the muscle memory they needed to eventually do the real work. We end up with a generation of developers who can prompt well but can’t actually build.

What do you mean by “real work”? What is “actually building”?

If prompting actually adds some real value, if it actually solves actual business problems, then why isn’t it a real work? And if it does not add real value, then no one sane will get rid of senior developers. In my options you’re contradicting yourself.

Can someone explain? Isn’t removing bots actually a good thing?

Are you seriously asking how to make money out of large, structured knowledge base in 2026? Having data these days is like having a goldmine, I can’t think of any more valuable asset.

that’s probably going to burst soon

what do you mean “burst”? Stock market valuation of IT companies are currently overblown, yes, but the technology is not going anywhere. I’m personally using it for software development, it became part of my workflow and I don’t intend to stop using it. I also see other people chatting with bots daily. It just become a new kind of user interface to which people got used to.

Maybe you don’t care, but to be a sustainable company, Mozilla need to look for alternative sources of income. They can’t just make 2010s style browser forever.

Why do people use one social media site over another? He will only do it when he finds it useful.

It’s not a religion. It’s just a tool. Just send him something interesting on this platform. If he thinks there is anything interesting here, he will start using it on his own.

Most people are using Linux for the privacy benefits

What is wrong? Publishing on ARM? I don’t understand why this post received so many downvotes

There is no such thing like “running model with your training data”. To change model’s behavior you need to fine-tune it, which means: to continue training it on your own data set. For this to happen you need to have your own dataset, computing power and knowledge how to do it because you may as well make your model performing worse. It is not an easy task.

China is winning the race just because they release open weights of a models. The main question is: why do they do that? They don’t earn money, so there must be something else that they gain. Political influence maybe? Spreading propaganda? Has anyone checked if those models answer questions about Tiananmen Square?

Yay, another day with Windows Sloperating System

Why would I want to use it instead of or alongside with Syncthing? What does it do better?

I don’t think privacy will be ever an advantage of fediverse or any federated platform. Isn’t it actually quite opposite by design? The goal of fediverse is to make you and your account discoverable by anyone. You comments, your likes, your follows are public. Fediverse is for freedom not for privacy.

This platform is just evil, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it recently. Most recommended posts are just dumb tiktok-like short videos, sometimes soft porn even. All of these mixed with stuff posted by governments, politicians as it’s their way communicate with citizens. It’s just crazy, it’s like we replaced law gazette with posting official stuff in tabloids.

…and a year when Half life 3 is released ;)
