@cisene @bike4climate hehe, vi är i precis samma situation, hela familjen kör signal för alla accepterade alternativ suger. Ständig diskussion med omvärlden som tycker det verkar sjukt suspekt.

"Code is Cheap(er)" by Carson Gross https://htmx.org/essays/code-is-cheap/

I can sign off on basically every sentence here.

</> htmx ~ Code is Cheap(er)

In this essay, Carson Gross argues that as AI makes code cheap to produce, understanding code becomes the expensive and scarce resource. He warns of the complexity that LLM code can generate and proposes the subtractive, constraining engineer as the discipline needed to keep systems comprehensible & stable.

@bike4climate även, är Signal verkligen en "techjätte"? Används så klart av många, men känns väsensskilt från Google, Meta, Apple etc.

@truls46 interesting, I'd thought we took it from French, but given how much of Swedish is +/- German, maybe that's how we got it.

@stephanie @sundogplanets swedish also stole it, but simplified spelling: "manöver".

If Gemini Nano weights 4GiB, then that implies the existence of Gemini Micro at four terabytes, Gemini Milli at four petabytes, and Gemini Mega at 20 times the entire internet.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.
