Let me translate that: Musks boosts the value of xAI by integrating it into SpaceX and claiming that the future of AI is in space, in two years. That’s the same Musk who is flying to Mars „real soon now“.

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?
Add social.tchncs.de to the list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers.

I share much of these feelings. But unfortunately some loved ones have been sucked into the Trump Cult. It is a Cult. And when a loved one is sucked into a cult you do need to try to get them out.

Sometimes i have the feeling that AI results in Google Search are just a placeholder. Results are often awful and incomparable with using the paid version of Gemini 3 with the same query. Google is betting that models will improve and become cheaper so that they can offer a better experience in the future.
