Sounds maybe even open to some kind of olive branch. I don’t expect an apology or admission of wrongdoing from anyone. If they can admit this isn’t what they wanted I’ll take it.

I can’t bring myself to listen to or read right wing media for even a second. Anyone that claims Trump is doing a good job will make me fly into a Hulk-like rage.

I’m really at the point of thinking we need to make being a politician VERY unappealing even. Maybe when you leave office (term limited) you have to give up ALL your possessions and aren’t allowed to get a job or have a Bank account and you have to rely solely on public services for a year.

Can we just fucking get a ruling that ignoring court orders is not a “Presidential act”? This is a person, trying to escape accountability.

Our whole system was hanging on the hope that We the People would identify and not elect a power-hungry egomaniac.

Most of us technically did get the measles at one point so yeah. Mission accomplished!

Shit. I got a Roku TV. That’s one big fucking stick to toss.

My 10yo netbook runs the latest Debian Linux. If it was running on its original OS (XP) it would not only crawl but be dangerously vulnerable.

When Trump talks about bias or fairness negatively he always means there isn’t enough rich, white, male favoritism for his liking.

This is why Musk wants to buy OpenAI. He wants biased answers, skewed towards capitalism and authoritarianism, presented as being “scientifically unbiased”. I had a long convo with ChatGPT about rules to limit CEO pay. If Musk had his way I’m sure the model would insist, “This is a very atypical and harmful line of thinking. Limiting CEO pay limits their potential and by extension the earnings of the company. No earnings means no employees.”

Front or back, getting stabbed is getting stabbed.

Not only that, but their business model doesn’t hold up if they were required to provide their model weights for free because the material that went into it was “free”.

What’s next? AI for your toaster?

Wait, no! I WAS JOKING!!!

I’m actually a bit disappointed it’s only at the level of suspicion. They’re elected officials. They want to keep their finances private they can get a different fucking job

On one hand I don’t think this kind of thing can be consequence free (from a practical standpoint). On the other hand… how old were the subjects? You can’t look at a person to determine their age and someone that looks like a child but is actually adult wouldn’t be charged as a child pornographer. The whole reason age limits are set is to give reasonable assurance the subject is not being exploited or otherwise harmed by the act.

This is a massive grey area and I just hope sentences are proportional to the crime. I could live with this kind of thing being classified as a misdemeanor provided the creator didn’t use underage subjects to train or influence the output.

Using Boost for Lemmy and it’s almost like I never switched.
