    Everyone of the people I know who have the sticker/tattoo aren’t Nazis, they are big into guns and tend to be anti-government though.

    Three percent is from the population% that supported the American revolution at its inception, at least that’s what I’ve understood of it.

    I’m sure there are plenty of Nazis that also claim to be 3%ers but I’ve never known it to be a Nazi thing, maybe they have tried to claim it.

    Similar to the OK hand sign I will never see it as a symbol of nazism/white supremacy.

    Most of those stickers aren’t Nazis


  • For reference here are inflation rates YOY since 2017:

    2017 2.10%

    2018 1.90%

    2019 2.30%

    2020 1.40%

    2021 7.00%

    2022 6.50%

    2023 3.40%

    Just to make up for the last three years of inflation they would need +16.9% instantly. Assuming +2% inflation over those 4 years (which is the average but not right now) that means from 2020 to 2028 inflation rose 26.3% so if they started a +25% increase over 4 years this year, the workers would have the same spending power they had in 2020.

    Data is from the bureau of labor statistics

    We’ve been having this discussion in the group I game/ play TTRPGs with. Like 7 of us total all windows, me and another switched to Linux, a third is a computational scientist who is forced to work with redhat frequently, and a fourth member was thinking of switching. After me and member 2 switched, member 4 saw that we had problems (entirely discord for me, all games have honestly worked so far) and changed his mind about switching because he doesn’t want to deal with stuff not working OOTB.

    I can’t fault people who want that, hell I do, Linux is well worth it to me but I will begrudgingly admit there are draw backs to Linux.












  • Strong agree here. You hit on a lot of the core issues on LLMs, so I’ll say my opinions on the economic aspects.

    It’s been more than a year since chatGPT released this plague of “slap AI on the product and consumers will put their children down for collateral to buy!” which imo we haven’t seen whatsoever. Investors still have a hard-on for the term AI that goes into the stratosphere but even that is starting to change a little.

    Consumers level of AI distrust has risen considerably and consumers have seen past the hype. Wrapping this back around to the CEOs level of power, I just don’t think LLMs are actually going to have enough marketability for general consumers to become juggernaut corpos.

    LLMs absolutely have use cases but they don’t fit into most consumer products. No one wants AI washers or rice cookers or friggin AI spoons and shoehorning them in decreases interest in the product.
