This is how the AI bubble bursts: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/917380/ai-monetization-anthropic-openai-token-economics-revenue

There is no conceivable way to break even for the AI industry—let alone to repay an investment that requires $2Tn a year from now to the end of the decade. That's about 3% of the entire planetary GNP. Just to break even.

@meercat0 @d1 The archive-dot sites are bad. You can, however, turn off javascript, reload the page, and turn javascript back on to get past the paywall.

@solitha @meercat0 @d1 Or just install Bypass Paywalls Clean, or add its rules file to your existing ad blocker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_Paywalls_Clean

@mathew Eh, think I'll avoid downloading anything from a Russian site (and my adblocker is my browser).

There is now a copy of the article on Internet Archive, and I linked it elsewhere in the comments. Much more trustworthy.

@solitha @meercat0 @d1 You can just add the filter rules to your regular ad blocker like I do. No need to trust any software from a Russian web site.

@mathew @meercat0 @d1 Well, I'd have to go to the Russian web site to find the rules, which is a non-starter for me.

Finding the rules is beyond my limited tech knowledge, as is how I would add any such rules to Vivaldi.

Temporarily toggling javascript works for me.

@mathew I feel like you're not really reading all I'm saying, so let's just let it go, please.

@solitha @meercat0 @d1 I was just responding to the concerns you brought up, mostly for the benefit of anyone else reading the thread who might have similar concerns. If you don't want to use it, that's fine, I have no problem with that. And thanks for making people aware of the issues with archive.is.
