It's the knee jerk reply but it's not because of this
I think more likely is the overregulation of labor which caused the outsourcing of it to companies who then use contractors
Regulating labor had the opposite effect, now nobody hires anymore in the West because it's impossible to fire people, so instead they pay other companies to do it
Go to any airport and try find people that work for the airport, nobody does, it's all random third tier companies that try save money
Barely any airline does their own repairs and maintenance or cleaning now, nor hotels, etc.

Luxury is absolutely done in the West, it literally does not exist anymore
It doesn't matter if you pay $100 or $10,000, there's no tiers of service quality anymore, not in hotels, airlines, restaurants, product quality, it's all the same level of enshittification where nobody gives a fuck about their work anymore
Luxury still exists once you go to Asia though, you still get excellent service at both $100 or $10,000 levels from Thailand to China to Japan
And in the Gulf states like Qatar and Dubai

So I try to to take creatine after a heavy meal
My lunch is quite heavy like big 400g steak with rice, so taking it after that by dry scooping (put 3x 3g spoons in my mouth then wash away with water), I feel good
My gut tells me people who feel bad after taking Creatine might just not eat enough because if I take it after light food I also feel uneasy
But not after a big meal!

πΈ I now passed $100,000 made from shitposting since X started to pay me for posting in April last year!
This month was another $10,000 month:
$8,293 ad rev share
$1,218 subs revenue
(=$9,511 per 28 days)
= $10,360/month
The rise in views/followers was mostly related to my trip to Singapore, Japan and especially China
I posted a lot of stories and videos (and still have a few I have to post soon) which also helped get to 120,000,000 monthly views with almost 50,000 new followers in a month too, both records for me I think
I don't think it fully paid for the trip though (it doesn't have to) but we are getting somewhat close to where it actually could pay for it, which is cool because that means you can really have paid citizen journalism on here!

What's interesting about the Venezuela operation: after this South America is almost completely right wing and allied to the US
And except for Colombia, Brazil too is now completely surrounded by them
Brazil is ruled by Lula, a self declared Communist, and a far-left leader who likes to ally himself more with Russia, China and Iran than the US
Maybe what the US is trying to do here is create a new Pax Americana with a North and South America that's completely allied with the US
Which they could call making (greater) America great again

πΈ To avoid getting spam or low effort messages
I've created a πΎ 16-bit VC.EXE executable and hidden a specific email in it that I use to receive messages to invest in AI startups
Since it runs inside https://t.co/M1hEUBAynC it requires you to boot the computer and get in so it takes some effort which hopefully acts as a nice pre-filter

It's crazy how fast the messages arrive, I'd have expected some delay because of the layers it has to go through
It goes from a PC/Mac emulator inside WebAssembly in JS sending it via an emulated modem on COM1 port with emulated TCP/IP over WebSockets then routed via a PPP daemon to the real internet and to the reverse engineered America Online server and then back again to the other computer like that
But everything happens in literally milliseconds

Very good question
Grok estimates π Nano Banana Pro cost Google about $50-$200 million just to train
Every year the models get better (and bigger), and generally require more compute (like others have said), so the next better model will cost a multiple of that, so like $500 million or even $1 billion
So unless I'd raise $500 million to train that next model I don't think it's possible, because I simply do not have $500 million lying around
Another thing is that it's starting to become clear being in the model business is generally a very bad idea for most people because the moment a better model arrives, everyone just changes their code:
from:
> 'model'=>'current-model'
to:
> 'model'=>'the-new-model'
As in, the switching cost is almost $0, so models do not have much lock in
Which is WHY I think you'll see the best models come out of BigTech, because they can afford to spend massive money on creating the best models, and then make that money back by using those models in their entire portfolio of apps (see Google)
I don't think long term as a AI model startup you can keep up with that, because they 1) can't raise enough money for the trainings to compete with BigTech's infinite pockets, 2) can't survive the moment a better model comes around, 3) they don't have the front end and users to get a moat
What that means for my AI apps though is that it might be better I don't have my own models because I don't face the financial risk of training a model that's outdated in 6 months, and I just keep updating to whatever new model comes out (yes like a wrapper)
Being a niche AI app like my app Photo AI is, I can actually offer features that make it better than a general AI experience you'd have on ChatGPT or Gemini so it can remain a long-term business that way by specializing on a specific area of people photography

My dream was other people would also start building web-based vintage computers (like MacOS, Atari, Amiga, etc) and we could then all connect them each other via the modern day internet
This is the first working example of that!

β¨ Three months ago, @AOL officially shut down its dial up internet service after 40 years!
America Online was one of the first internet providers (ISPs) and existed even before the world wide web
Many Americans know it especially for its walled garden type internet access where you'd open the AOL app, and your news, mail, chat and message boards were all in there
Most ISPs back then were like that, but in the end not the AOL walled garden, but the open internet won, where anyone could make a website, start an online business, just by registering a domain name and putting up a website. Without asking AOL for permission
What's interesting here that this "open web" was only for a short time from about 1995 to 2010 when social media platforms took over and the walled gardens came back
Anyway to bring that back @SiliconForested reverse engineered the AOL servers so you can experience America Online how it was in 1995 but today
> https://t.co/M1hEUBB6da <
I've installed it above, so all you do is boot, then open AOL and click Sign On as guest, then login with username pieter and password pieter
I already made a working AOL Instant Messenger so this is a nice addition!
π KEEP AOL ALIVE!!!

π Nano Banana Pro is really really really good at clothing try ons too
So I've started to use it on πΈ Photo AI for the π "put clothing on this model" feature
The coolest thing is that online fashion stores can 1) put clothing on any of their models, 2) see the clothing from any perspective like a full body shot, close up or side view like you can see here
You can even just upload a flat lying garment and it will wrap it around your model accurately, very nice!

The only Asia that most Americans know and want to know is Japan
And maybe Taiwan
They have no clue about China, won't visit it, barely any clue what's going on in South East Asia, and their ideas about it are from decades ago which you can see back whenever they show up in popular culture like on Netflix
It's a real blindspot that most don't visit the biggest threat to their global supremacy and try learn from them to avoid them taking the #1 spot

Why @nvidia acquihiring @Groq for $20B is so interesting:
It looks like a direct (and fast!) reaction by Nvidia to Google successfully using its own TPU chips for training AI models and inference (generating AI content)
Because until recently, they used mostly Nvidia's GPUs
Here's where it gets very interesting:
"Groq's founder and CEO, @JonathanRoss321, previously led the design of the first-generation TPU at Google"
And Groq is famous for developing its own chips similar to TPUs called LPUs:
"Groq LPU (Language Processing Unit) is a specialized AI chip designed by Groq for ultra-fast, low-latency execution of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI"
So they just hired the guy who co-created the TPU at Google, which is the chip that has just recently made Google independent of Nvidia's GPUs (which made Google's stock go up and Nvidia's stock go down)
I'm impressed by the speed of how things develop in AI, everyone's acting really strategic and smart and so fast!

Asked @pieterbot on AOL why @nvidia acquired @GroqInc
And they apparently did not, they just did a licensing deal for $20B
Possibly to avoid antitrust laws (so Nvidia doesn't get a monopoly)
"In a Christmas Eve deal, Nvidia has entered into a nonexclusive agreement to license technology from artificial intelligence chip start-up Groq, according to a statement on Groqβs website.
Groq founder @JonathanRoss321 and @sundeep, Groqβs president, will leave the company and join Nvidia, bringing other engineering talent with them, according to the statement. Groq will remain an independent company, but it isnβt clear if Nvidia is taking an equity stake."

Microsoft has the servers and the end users (more enterprise though)
Meta has the servers, some models (but not so good yet) and end users (see Instagram)
xAI has the servers, the models, the data (X) and the end users and soon has the chips too
Apple has only end users

I got the Ninja Crispi glass one
I'd say buy 1 then see if you like and then buy another one next to it
Then you can do meat and veg at same time for 2 people
Or if you single just buy 1
Remove the Teflon PFAS rubber placer and replace with a stainless steel rack, then you got almost fully glass + steel airfryer set up (except the top)
I'm not affiliated or paid by Ninja but I think they're the best now
Anyway throw frozen brussels sprouts or vegetables or potatoes in, then close it, wait 10 min, go code a little bit, then add frozen steak (I add salt and pepper and beef tallow or ghee) and wait another 10-15 min, maybe flip in between and you have a whole meal with no time or effort π
Healthy!!!

This is my trick too
Room temperature steak in airfryer doesn't work because both the inside and outside get cooked fast, so you get well done overcooked steak
Frozen steak in airfryer is the best because: the outside defrosts faster of course and cooks first, while the inside takes longer to defrost meaning it ends up medium (pink inside, brown outside)

One thing that fascinates me is that art wasn't always so tied to leftist, socialist or communist political views as it is right now
There was lots of waves in history of art that promoted acceleration, ambition, futurism, technology and capitalism
But in our current time I'd say about 80% of art is very left in spirit or created by artists with very leftist views, that sounds obvious to us now, but again that wasn't always the case!
For example, Renaissance art was conservative and funded by the church, then Enlightenment art was about republican ideals, and Futurism and Art Deco were very accelerative (and to be fair, later adopted by nationalists and fascists in 1930s, not so good)
But even with that said, I think it leaves space for people who believe in the future to help create or fund art that promotes those more positive values about society to inspire people to create a better future
It is starting to happen a bit with people funding large statues again in America and trying to promote beautiful classical architecture again

Okay I improved the chat a bit on both AIM and IRC, it has more tools now like Search and Thinking so you can actually have deep convos with it now that can query the web, very nice
I tried asking it what's going on on Hacker News today and it told me Chat Control 3 and I asked about what it was etc. and what it thought about it, all inside AOL Instant Messenger π
Feels really fun to have access to modern LLMs on retro Windows

Eutelsat has lower speeds and higher latency than Starlink
Why should companies choose an inferior product just because it's European?

Hating capitalism as an artist is the single most capitalist thing you can do
The biggest market for music is young people and for them it's fashionable to hate capitalism
If you say you hate capitalism too, your audience then connects with you on a primal level
That makes you very popular and helps you increases your plays of your music and sales of your shows and merchandise
Then if you can keep your net worth hidden for long enough you can keep saying you hate capitalism and make more money
Until at some point you have $100M and they stop believing it but by then your audience is 30 years old and don't care anymore and you become a retro artist they like to listen to out of nostalgia

πΎ Okay having nobody online to chat on AIM is boring
So I asked AI to write an AOL Instant Messenger bot called @pieterbot, and I made an account for it, and it one-shotted it in Python and IT WORKS!!!
So now you can chat on AIM on https://t.co/M1hEUBAynC with an LLM that is fully self-aware it is an AIM bot π€ π

πΎ I got AOL Instant Messenger working in 2025!!! π€―
I installed aim.exe on https://t.co/M1hEUBAynC and I connected to a reverse engineered retro AIM server
You can login and it works and you can actually message people, in this case I don't know anyone else on this server so I message myself
MSN next??

A significant number of doctors are paid off by pharma
It just happened recently in my hometown again
Donations to a non-profit "foundation" of the doctors that they spent on fun "trips"
Then they found out!

Half the time captive portals will not open for me on iOS and I have to open Safari to browse to 1.1.1.1 and then it'll redirect me to the hotel WiFi
Anyone else have this?

Apparently you can transfer your old iPhone to a new iPhone with a cable
But Apple never tells you that in the interface
It has 2 options:
Transfer via iCloud
Transfer via WiFi
So it should have a 3rd option:
Transfer via cable
Which would inform the user you can, because nobody knows this and it'd speed it up by 3-5x

So I bought a $2,000 iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB and it's the buggiest Apple experience I've ever had
First the data transfer failed after 5
minutes, then it had to reset itself, and I had to do everything again
Then after resetting it just would NOT detect the old phone to transfer data from
Then when it did work after trying for ages, it took 6 hours to transfer but kept saying "4 minutes left" (???)
Then when it was done I couldn't go on hotel WiFi because to open the captive WiFi portal to enter the password for the hotel WiFi I needed a browser but I didn't have a browser (cause EU law)
But when I opened Safari, it'd ask me what browser I wanted (cause EU law), but then immediately fail because it didn't have internet to download the browser (catch-22) so I could never login to the hotel wifi to download my browser (???)
Ok then I connected to 5G hotspot of other phone, worked
Then when I got it working none of my apps would download, just all apps say "Waiting..."
Then I went to the App Store to at least install Telegram to chat with my friend, but tapping the download button would then show the rotating loading spinner and then reset to the download button repeatedly
So I gave up and now use my old iPhone
I don't think anyone at Apple actually goes through this process anymore or they just don't give a shit how absolutely user hostile the Apple experience has become
Tim Cook should be ashamed
