LLM technological advances We need to educate our elderly that many things they see on Walled Gardens, spoken by what looks like people, are in fact just Avatars generated with Large Language Models. These things will: show whatever you like to seesay whatever you like to hear become your personal echo chamberlie and hallucinate, to make you feel Superiorto accomplish that you stay there much longer than normal!!! You are literally the battery that feeds that large language model and thus the Walled Garden These things now look so good, that they are difficult to distinguish from the real thing, a recorded living person, unless you look frame by frame, like I have from time to time. What will tip you off is that they will say exactly what you want to hear, they'll show themselves exactly how you like to see them, they will even sound like the way you want them to do. Many Walled Garden clients have been recording our voices and phrases for years, thus that was easily to accomplish. So not only do these things steal our ability to buy SSDs memory GPUs and APUs for normal prices, they also critically mislead our elderly and those who are LLM computer illiterate. That can be a billion+ people I have photographs / screencaps which I will deliberately not include, because I do not want to alienate those who want to read about the subject, but not have a large language model image plastered under this informative post Inform your elderly!Let them ask you if they are not sure I have deliberately included the link to physical Walled Garden because those places just look so beautiful in that Verde colour Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walled_garden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_platform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_signal #LLM #slop #AI #miscreant #HDD #SSD #hardware #software #programming #price #high #technology

One of my bedrock beliefs is that capitalists *really* hate capitalism. They may name their beloved institutes after the likes of Adam Smith, but they ignore everything Smith had to say about the necessity of competition to keep markets from turning into monopolies: https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/09/commissar-merck/#price-giver -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/06/champerty-loves-company/#circle-of-life 1/

“Benchmark Dutch and British wholesale gas prices surged nearly 50% on Monday after Qatar Energy, one of the world’s top liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters, announced a halt in production due to the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. The suspension disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route accounting for around 20% of global LNG trade, as tanker operators and trading houses paused deliveries amid Tehran’s warnings.” via Al Mayadeen English on Telegram https://t.me/almayadeenenglish/18301 #Press #Trump #War #Iran #OperationEpsteinFury #Gas #Price

@pluralistic@mamot.fr : "That's why, when we hold new Nuremberg trials for Trump and his collaborators, we should also unwind every merger that was approved under Trump" The mental image of tRump in the dock being grilled by Jack Smith sustains me every day. https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/25/most-favored-nation/#price-fixing
