@lemm.eeI can't believe I have to explain this. Anyway
The comparison to Alex Jones and other conspiracy nutjobs was about how they don't care about any facts or context, and just like to string together random headlines into some doomsday narrative that supports their view.
The phrase "tankie infowars" means basically that - same methods, just different target audience. So you would switch around who the good guys and bad guys are, but not much else.
You don't think coming to the conclusion "omg, this must be nuclear war preparations", instead of this just being a regular target, is conspiracy level thinking?
It would fit right into Alex Jones's show. And it's the most upvoted comment here.
And judging by the recent Claude Sonnet 3.5 results, OpenAI may not even be the top AI company anymore.
The ironic thing is that if it weren't for free software, the entire AI industry would likely be a decade behind where it is today, if not more.
There used to be a "loophole", where if you changed to a different plan, it restarted the 7 day period during which you could cancel with no fee. Not sure if they ever changed that though.
It was Medvedev who started talking shit about nukes more than a year ago (and a lot since then)
On the other hand, many parts of Android, including the default system WebView, are updated from the Play Store like regular apps, and don't need a full OS update.
This is of course in addition to just taking all the training data without credit or permission by both teams, which usually goes without saying these days.
But the cloud thing and the container thing actually happened. Not 100%, but it is basically the standard these days.
Of the things you mentioned, only crypto is mostly bullshit tech with no actual use.
