AI is coming for our jobs and also it can't pay its own electricity bills

For two years we've been told AI is coming for our jobs. Lawyers, coders, writers, designers, everyone's apparently on borrowed time.

Community: Community reaction (frontier/gpt-5.4-mini): Commenters mostly push back on the headline's near-term doom framing, arguing that AI may eventually replace some jobs but is more likely a long-term productivity boost than an immediate job killer. Several also say AI companies can burn cash now because demand and infrastructure are still scaling. Overall...

  • 2026-05-10 03:22 GMT+8 — post: skeptical; author: neutral; Says world-changing tech often loses money early, and AI infrastructure spending reflects future demand rather than a flaw in the thesis.
  • 2026-05-10 03:23 GMT+8 — post: positive; author: neutral; Agrees AI may eventually be inevitable, but rejects the idea that it will replace jobs immediately or on the timeline implied by hype.
  • 2026-05-10 05:05 GMT+8 — post: neutral; author: critical; Calls out the previous commenter for seeming to contradict themselves and says their argument is confusing and undermines its own point.

Running Minimax 2.7 at 100k context on strix halo

[Image: Running Minimax 2.7 at 100k context on strix halo] Just wanted to share because it took me a lot of tweaking to get here: `llama-server -hf unsloth/MiniMax-M2.7-GGUF:UD-IQ3_XXS --temp 1.0 --top-k 40 --top-p 0.95 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 -c 100000 -fa on -ngl 999...

Community: Community reaction (frontier/gpt-5.4-mini): Commenters mostly discuss and debate the performance tuning behind running MiniMax at 100k context, especially cache-ram, ubatch, and KV cache settings. Feedback is mixed: some validate the setup and offer optimizations, while others question the configuration and suggest alternative models like Qwen or Gemma for...

  • 2026-05-10 05:07 GMT+8 — post: skeptical; author: neutral; Questions the use of --cache-ram 0 and ubatch 1024, suggests different tuning values, and says they switched from Minimax to Gemma 4 31B.

Exactly a year ago, I started working on an MCP server I launched on reddit that became by far my most active open source project!

Community: Community reaction (frontier/gpt-5.4-mini): Commenters generally see the MCP server as useful and practical, especially for real workflows like Google services, email/calendar/todo, and Search Console. A few are skeptical of MCP as a broader trend or hype cycle, but the project itself gets praise as better than comparable alternatives. Direct comments about...

  • 2026-05-10 14:13 GMT+8 — post: critical; author: neutral; Argues MCP is becoming another dead hype-cycle component and suggests native tool calling is often the better choice.
  • 2026-05-10 14:23 GMT+8 — post: positive; author: neutral; Pushes back on the pessimism, saying MCP is still essential in some workflows and useful where other approaches do not fit.

Community: Community reaction (frontier/gpt-5.4-mini): Commenters think the benchmark/demo is promising and could help upstream adoption, but many focus on the fork history and llama.cpp’s anti-AI PR policy. The post content gets interest for its speed claims, while the surrounding process draws skepticism and criticism about maintainability and reviewer culture....
