Lobby the government, do a lawsuit, invest in competition.

That sounds horrible

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Nvidia is doing plenty of unethical anti-consumer and anti-competitive stuff. I'm not even sure least is accurate. But yeah, good to employees and pro open weight are positives

Ethics aside, chemical castration does not necessarily work.Biologically yes but behaviourally...

Free is an interesting word to mean, "sold for money". Also while the US government funded part of the initial internet, both of your examples are private citizens creating something you wish we later restricted. GPU's are graphics processors too, it was too late any when they became useful a sort of general purpose workload chip.

We actually could give every teen a 5090 for free right now, no blocking trade agreements required.

When I was a kid my school had a computer lab worth 200k in 1995 dollars. This was something very few kids had outside of the United States. None of them were locked down and we were encouraged to learn how to program them. Now we just throw some locked down $200 Chrome books at them and think that's gonna produce the next generation of tech innovation. In any case I wasn't talking about free as in commie.

In 1995 you didn’t have: raspberry anything, flipper zero, qemu, commodity smartphones, mail-order circuit board fab—-and that’s just the stuff under $200.

I think I missed what this annecdote means. Lots of countries had computers in 1995. I also don't understand what you mean by "not free as in commie". Do you mean soft power, we already get that, do you mean something other than resources (what money ultimately is)?

I think this has been piloted in other places too, including the US, with similar results. Similarly, means testing and friends also just makes the program more expensive with no benefits. The problem is those who could distribute have goals that are not just help people. Even people who want to help often do so with biases that make it so the problem is just poor management (because your own relative success is always earned)

It is not an airtag. The payphone doesn't use a network of snitches to say where you are at all times. It is really bad to instill the idea that you are never private, it makes our surveillance situation worse and more accepted. Which i am sure hackernews and the EFF have plenty of articles to show why normal people need privacy.

It took 4 weeks according to the Article.

Everything might be deterministic if we are being super-pedantic.

I mean Ford didn't get a trillion dollars because he is to be only manufacturer of any and all transportation. There are still horses, and Ford and Dodge(Anthropic) are not even the biggest manufacturers.
