They've read a few thousand years of experiential data in text form.

They remind me of Kodak inventing the digital camera and sitting on it to preserve their film business.

I find its style the most sycophantic and annoying personally.

Never has it been brought so clearly into light how brilliant I am, than in correspondence with Gemini.

Spoiler alert, almost everything is made in China, including the premium stuff.

I definitely have to do a lot of work every time I need something, but I can often find products that aren't made in China (normally Germany).

If not, I usually just don't buy it new and just go to the thrift store. I can usually find what I need, made 30 years ago that will probably last me for the rest of my life.

That's just my opinion, man. If you think that the Chinese make great stuff, buy it.

I don't have a Twitter account.

Most of my "smart" devices are Chinese. Huawei creates superior products than most western/korean/japanese counterparts. I would prefer everything I own is Chinese, the quality is superb.

altern8 · 2026-09-15T11:04:27

Absolutely! Enjoy.

I don't buy anything that has "smart" features, either. For instance, appliances that come with an app I just immediately skip.

That might be why I'm not seeing all this superb quality.

Minimax H3 works pretty great and you can run it on a 3090.

Making and using a modern solar panel emits up to 44 grams of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas per kWh over its lifetime as opposed to up to 1000 grams for fossil fuel generators.

That's 20x cleaner.

Sure buddy, now go make me a solar panel without using fossil fuel, including mining, refining, processing, etc.

chpatrick · 2026-09-11T11:53:30

That's included in the number, buddy. Read the report.

So if a model with exactly the same architecture controls a robot then it's suddenly sentient or what? "They generate actions in the real world"

chpatrick · 2026-09-10T17:44:45

Does being made out of meat instead of silicon make you more sentient?

chpatrick · 2026-09-08T22:58:05

Shouldn't doesn't mean people wouldn't.

It's actually a great service though.

It's also a great protection racket. They host many DDoS provider sites and protect them from law enforcement.

Someone's eager to downvote this, but it's been known for a long time and still happens in obvious ways.
