It's usually the opposite.

When a company requires lot more energy, power plants are expected to produce lot more.

When a power plant produce a lot, the low consumption rates tend to get cheaper. It's gets cheaper to produce energy as the demand increases.

This is, of course, considering the input material is not scarce, like hydro power plants or wind power. Everything else (coal, oil, nuclear, gas, solar) should be easy to increase supply/demand.

I disagree. You can't kill million years of history, so you can get more immigrants.

Languages are lot more than speak, it also describes people and the way they interact each other.

Discussing politics with friends and relatives is what makes you a moderate overall.

Otherwise you will grow up inside an echo chamber, far away from reality.

People talking about politics IRL makes you understand and reason other points of views. If you can't tolerate others views, then you are clearly a radical.

The issue and reason about this law is, what happens when some teenager post naked photos of some ex girlgriend at internet.

While I don't care much about AI deepfakes, revenge porn can be very harmful to women, at the point of considering suicide.

This needs to be normalized at some point. While I don't like what Germany usually does, privacy about private photos/videos need to be respected

Please don't post trashy articles from trashy media, government funded.

I know there are weirdos everywhere, but not much related to "Hacker News"

Wht does Open Source needs any terms of use?

This is into the opposite direction about what "free open-source" means.

You get that software into your computer, you are entitled to free unrestricted use or modify in any way you want.

Except by the Firefox trademark of course.

You are wrong here. You can't have free markets without personal liberty.

In the same way, personal liberties aren't a thing if are are unable to establish your own business

I'm gonna ignore the first part because I've found on the internet people don't agree on what "free markets" mean.

For the second part you don't need a business to be free. As a simple counterexample: I wouldn't say that human ancestors hunting and gathering in the savannah weren't free (they had literally no governmental limits) and it would take an absurd stretch to say they owned a business.

You're misunderstanding or strawmanning. You don't need a business to be free, obviously, and no not everyone that's free has a business (???). But that's different from being forbidden from making one.

The concept of a business can only exist within the context of a myriad of laws (property law, contract law, etc) all of which require violent enforcement or the threat thereof, ie reduction in personal liberty.

> You can't have free markets without personal liberty

I literally just explained why the exact opposite is true. Not a proactive conversation if you’re not going to engage at all with what I said and just talk past it.

I wouldn’t assume there’s no way to self host — it just costs a lot more than open weights.

Anthropic claims they don’t train on their inputs. I haven’t seen any reason to disbelieve them.

But there is no way to know if their claims are true either. Your inputs are processed into their servers, then you get a response. Whatever happens in the middle, only Anthropic knows. We don't even know of governments are actually pushing AI companies to enforce censorship or spying people, like we seen recently at UK government getting into Apple E2E encryption.

This criticism is valid for the business who wants to use AI to improve coding, code analysis or code review, documentation, emails, etc, but also for that individual who don't want to rely on 3rd party companies for AI usage.

You can sign a contract with Anthropic that fully bakes their promise not to train on your input.

You can also access Claude via both AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex, both of which come with very robust guarantees about how your data is used.
