I don't think they really are out to fuck consumers so much as they are an after after thought.

The consumer space just isn't able to pay what companies are paying and so in the words of Don Draper - 'I don't think about you at all'

What is a bit of a dick move is their consumer division paying lip service and pretending like they matter to the company at all.

They did but do their latest cards have an option for 24gb like my 7900xtx?

I like them for Linux support but I don't doubt they would start doing the same crap if they could break CUDAs strangle hold on the ML LLM space

As in 'to kickback and relax'

It's actually 🐄

Yeah the issue with this is that it becomes a major pain to enforce.

Tones of schools have no phone policies but no one enforces it.

Students won't give them up and parents get upset because they can't contact little Timmy or because his 1500 iPhone is in someone's desk.

In large organizations when the order comes down from on high that 'we are all in on whatever' AI in this case, middle managers and product owners start looking for ways to ram that thing into their product so they can keep playing the game.

Usually they can't do that.

You're not giving companies a tax break you're just contributing to their marketing / good will budget. They collect so they 'can be good cooperate citizens' and hand someone a giant check and make a press release.

You're looking at it too holistically. Rarely does a tech come and entirely replace something outright (despite what the AI hype bros have been saying)

There will be 50 or 100 companies who know the space working on a single thing the nurse does. My suspicion is that nurses do a lot of book keeping and state recording, that is likely what will go first. There might eventually still be someone administering a drug but fewer people doing data entry.

Still health care is notoriously slow and penny pinching so I suspect it will be a while and the only entrants will be big companies who know how to navigate large government or private organizations.

I mean we set the stage by allowing all the gig economy bullshit to just ignore the existing laws for years.

Also his donation is presumably either somewhat or entirely enabled by mullvad so voting with your dollar is about the only way to express dissatisfaction.

This is true for kernel updates in Linux as well.

Whenever I update the kernel I will need a restart eventually because it breaks the openvpn somehow and I've been too lazy to figure out how to actually fix it.

Still my Linux machine doesn't nag me about restarts. The DE just pops up a notification one time saying it's recommended.

They need a classic appeal to 'think of the children'

We have to trample rights or we can't protect your children from the bad people.
