They probably don’t sell mythos because they can’t afford to do so at the same, heavily subsidized cost. They’re already burning more money than they generate, and the only way the continue to have cash at all is from fund raising. Selling AI is massively unprofitable. Mythos surely consumes even more resources than Opus, and they probably see that it’ll make them go broke even faster than their current trajectory will.
The cynic in me says there’s no way this passes and gets signed…right?
That’s true! I’ve read recently that GitHub’s uptime is pretty terrible too.
My site is low enough stakes that I can live with it on codeberg. I just relaxed the uptime check a bit so it only alarms if I have an extended outage. Even so, the alarms aren’t actionable to me…other than maybe announcing to my users that there’s an outage rather than having them ask me if I’m aware of the outage.
That’s true, but even at worst case (full 8 hour outage per week) that’s still 96% uptime.
Most of my outages have been out of that window.
I like codeberg and have no plans on migrating away from it, but their codeberg Pages product is…weak to say the least. There’s very frequent downtime. I had multiple users reach out to me letting me know my site was down… embarrassing. I set up kuma uptime checks on it, and now I see when the outages happen.
Forget “four 9’s” or anything close to that…my 30 day uptime is a measley 91%…
Ah gee you’re right. Let’s shut down all the privacy blogs and communities. No reason to talk about privacy violations at all anymore.
This is a little disengenuous…the browser extension ≠ the desktop app. Some people install the app and only use the chat feature. Some use cowork but would never want to use the browser extension. Assuming that installing a desktop app means you should also want the browser extension is just bad logic.
How does it benefit the area? The money goes to the power cartels either way, and the data centers harm the environment and the people living near them regardless of the electricity cost.
I almost bought a RPi and realized I’d get better value at a Dell mini PC. Sure it’s significantly bigger than a Pi, but it’s still small enough for my use case. I just don’t see a good reason to get a Pi anymore. It used to be a cheap hobbyist board. Now it’s…something else.
Same. Typing is significantly more challenging with HeliBoard. I put up with it though because…screw GBoard
The crazy thing is, this isn’t really a “squeeze” in the traditional sense. The problem was that every single mainstream AI product has been heavily subsidized…because it’s wildly expensive and not even close to being profitable.
That sort of subsidization was only going to last for so long. The dam is starting to crack. People aren’t ready to pay what AI truly costs.
