What about the pasta straws? I’ve seen it mentioned once, but nothing since.

Just use Free and Open Source Software!

It can always fuck up with updates, but usually you just get more free stuff and it’s awesome.

And Waze :(

LLMs just repeat training sets - so every mistake is repeated forever.

Every bias is locked in and can’t be fixed.

So you just deny people and expect them to appeal everything… sounds like you are offloading costs on the victims.

Shit like that is what makes it demonic.

It will be used to take control over peoples lives.

In any simple way it may be - denying job/insurance/care/etc, it will be hailed as using ‘reason’, while it just repeats patterns from the training sets.

It does not ‘reason’, because it can’t. Trying to sell it as such is very dangerous as it will be used against people, and it’s dishonest for the investors as well, as they will jump on it even though it’s not ‘true’ and it never will be for this model.

Yeah ok sure buddy, but what do you DO actually?

It is

So fuck peguins I guess

Or a mortar. Point blank.

I mean when I made one such blog, the default install did not have a single index in the database? Like even a small dataset took seconds to process.

People love to shit on PHP, and I also love to shit on WordPress, but performance was definitely possible to easily improve.

Just stop him, remove all his government contracts, and never allow him anywhere near anything of value. And when he does something stupid, report it honestly. With all his current fuckups.

Why can this loser fart in an elevator and it warrants an article?

And why are so many engaged to the point, including government, that they will listen to that? Like abandoning highspeed rail in favor of hyperloop?

Like what the fuck is going on?

If they could read

Please understand that this is the next ‘SEO’ shit.

It was going to be this from the very start.

People are and always have been divorced from reality. Some people barely understand how their own house works, but nobody ever understood everything, and at no point you could be sure you know with absolute certainty what was going on 1000 miles away from you.

Let us not act like generative AI is going to break the 4th wall of our perfect world. And I don’t even mean video or even image manipulation - basic text can and has been used for manipulation forever.

Perhaps we should reexamine things we’ve had for decades, like signing content with PGP and building actual trust around the world.

Do you mean Musk or did you misunderstand the comment?

How?

To use on it’s own citizen later

So you opened another can of worms.

I would be very glad if we would stop with game sales altogether. Instead, add option to support the developer and platform. Completely unrelated to the amount of people and hours played.

Just download the game (ideally through P2P), enjoy it, ‘donate’ if you like it, however much you like.

For online games, you have a pool for keeping servers alive, if it runs out, open-source it, and let users with the maintenance.

Like I would have donated much more to Terraria than to Devil May Cry 5.

I can’t help but throw this down here:

FUCKING STOP LIMITING DIGITAL ASSETS WITH LICENSES.

Digital is the only realm where you can make FREE* copies of EVERYTHING**. Why do people argue for making additional limitations of such capabilities is beyond me.

I know why companies and rich people want to create artificial scarcity even in the digital world. And I guess some poor shmucks think they can get richer, but it’s not true.

So stop with the ‘dEcEnTrAlIzEd OwNeRsHiP lOdGeR’ bullshit, and enjoy the FREE* copies of everything we have.

• Copies take space and (usually) internet traffic, so they incur costs. But those are negligible, as we use those anyway. I’m not going to elaborate on how to support the creators, and crypto won’t solve it

** Fuck DRM, avoid shit that comes with it, even Steam if possible
