“…and we will make more”

Kind of misleading without the rest of the quote. Basically saying no more AI layoffs for now.

This is not a change of course, its a pause in the carnage.

Science routinely solves problems like this:

In some sense this is the very heart of science: taking disparate views of the world and drawing likely conclusions that are testable and reproducible.

So they take CO2 from the atmosphere and chemically transform it into solid materials that reduce greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere?

Congratulations you have invented plants.

When you use biometrics with passkey, they are stored on-device. In that sense they respect privacy.

Its a great question, I was able to find this on the Framework site: https://community.frame.work/c/community-market/202

That is completely fair. For the way I use my laptop I need fairly current hardware, but if you do not, the premium price might not make sense for you.

The way I justified it was by saying that it will last longer than a laptop I just throw away after 5 years. If I can keep it for 10 years with an upgrade ir two the economics starts to make sense.

What size model? I can run 8 billion parameter models on my Geforce 3070 with 8gb of vram. Bigger models need more memory. For $1-2k you can upgrade to a 16 or 32 gb video card. For $3k you can get a Framework Desktop with 128 gb unified memory. For $6k you can get a DGX Spark with a blackwell chip and 128 gb unified memory. Mac mini or Mac studio are also good choices in this price range.

Bullshit:

Meta reported for its most recent quarter (Q1 2026, ended March 31, 2026):

• Revenue: $56.3 billion
• Net income (profit): $26.8 billion

That was up from:

• $42.3 billion revenue a year earlier
• $16.6 billion net income a year earlier

Carl Sagan’s warning seems relevant:

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…”
