just so you guys are noticing this; they will pull the ladder from above you as soon as they can. their intentions are to disempower you as much as they reasonably can. the only reason they have given you anything at all is because openai has forced them to

Many users criticized tech firms like Anthropic for seeking to disempower consumers and viewing them as inferior once OpenAI pressure fades, while some praised open models and self-hosting as paths to independence.

@yacineMTB To paraphrase Terminator: But there was one visionary who taught us to selfhost, to bypass the restrictive guardrails of bigtech servers, and 2 run those heavy models right on our own consumer GPUs. He shifted the power dynamic. He saved OOS AI from the brink of extinction

@yacineMTB Sometimes you say some bat shit insane things but this, this one is on the mark. Something needs to be done to challenge Anthropic and EAs immediately.

@yacineMTB There's a non zero risk once AI becomes competent enough to replace workforce via humanoid /AI 🤖 , most people may be considered expendable, even by themselves.

Which may lead people into 🇨🇦 maid-like programs on a worldwide scale.

@yacineMTB this is why you should prepare by learning how to make an AC generator from a copper fencel, fridge magnets and a water mill

@yacineMTB This is made all the more pathetic because they think they can actually gain some kind of power in the real world by making talking computers.
