Biggest issue is probably that everything, including private messages, is public here. Not where you want to share your adress/phone number.

The problem with GenAI is that the inference cost grows linearly with usage, and the constant creation of new models means the training costs are also not recouped.

probably even slightly more than linear at this point as they use up so much electricity and other resources that it becomes more and more expensive to serve more users. User 1 is easy, that’s just the existing data center. User 1 million, well, you need a new datacenter and drive up hardware prices, but it’s fine. User 10 million, you need to build/rent gas power plants, figure out where to get water from, RAM and everything costs 5 times as much as it used to, bribe local politicians to build despite backlash etc.

Yes. Just to be clear, I do think he overall has a pretty good track record, from what I know. I certainly don’t follow him religiously and especially since Trumps second term I have very little interest in US late night TV, too much US on the news anyway. That was just the one instance that comes to mind. Also the one instance when I was worried that he might start to boomer, though luckily it seems that was not the case.

The one thing I remember is when he had a guest appearance on TDS and pushed the Covid lab leak theory. Which afaik is pretty debunked scientifically now and already was shaky back then (the honest take would have been “we don’t know”). I remember most virologists back then already said that there’s no evidence for it. And TDS has a pretty big audience, that does repeat its talking point regularily, so sure, you can say it’s just comedy, but people do listen to these things, it does influence public discourse and I did find it a bit irresponsible at the time. Especially since a lot of the show is about commenting on actual news.

Does this make him the devil incarnate? no. And some of the backlash for that one thing was way overblown. But then his reaction was mostly just saying how the backlash was stupid, and I would have liked a more nuanced/reflective response. If you have such a big platform, comedy or not, you should consider the effect of your words more carefully imo.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician getting applauded regularily, outside maybe of a talkshow setting. And not during a speech, maybe at the end when they finished. They also don’t really take center stage to give big speeches all that often. And having 7 presidents means less cult of personality.

It mostly looks like This is one of the presidents giving a press conference, with several experts/advisors next to him (and more experts in the front row, should more specific questions come up). The rest are journalists. I’d say press conferences make up the majority of appearances, so there’s no crowds/“fans”. Heck even the concept of a fan of one of the presidents sounds weird. Maybe for the parties, but I have never heard of anyone being a fan of one of the presidents.

Then there’s other events, but even for national day celebration speeches, it’s nothing crazy, this has some pictures of several of the presidents giving various national day speeches last year. No people in the background. But then I don’t think most people really watch any of this, so why bother?

Ah ich sehe du hast gern Bären. Leider gibts die nur sehr selten hier.
