to get on my developing-nation[0] soapbox for a little bit: it is, and it's also hilarious how often this sort of shit happens with things developed by people who you could largely handwave as "their smallest computer is a 3yo max-spec mbp" (I know this isn't precise but ygwim). "talk to your users" is obviously useful and it's often largely clear that a lot of these orgs don't, but it's even more clear in places further down the economic ladder. the one thing people in such markets often have is bucketloads of time. I do like that the phrasing used in the article was "you do not actually have to spend any money" rather than calling it "free" - this is still work. but you will readily find maaaaaany people who will do this sort of thing

CNBC put out an article uncritically repeating yet another round of lieboy pulling the exact same shit. I don't recognize the authors immediately, not sure if they're typical bootlickers or not
openai is going in hard, hiring ex-NSA person that was appointed by the walking talk racist mop (via dan gillmor). for the .... safety role! ah yes, I'm sure we'll all be so very surprised by this attempt consolidation of power.
this is not the place to satisfy your desire for degradation
Given the recent SBF all% speedruns…
LLMs continue to be so good and wagmi that they've progressed to the serving ads part of the extractivist SaaS lifecycle
