Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.
That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn’t intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.
The AI companies don’t seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn’t they, when power is so cheap.
It can’t be just that, right? There are loads of successful products that any given person only ever buys once.
How on Earth did they manage to fuck this up?
They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.
It’s insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.
When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”
Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.
It’s textbook misogyny.
No, it is not.
Yes, it is.
It’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re a doctor. It’s sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they’re a nurse. And it’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re an OS developer.
When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it’s been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that’s when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.
It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down by insinuating they’re not welcome in your profession, and it’s not a “new convention” to fucking avoid doing that.
Annoying that you’re being downvoted, you are absolutely correct. We should not support Ladybird as long as Andreas is involved.
Follow the link. He denied a pull request for gender neutral language in documentation, calling it “personal politics.” https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecomment-830793992
In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender. Not only that, he’s doubling down. It’s textbook misogyny. Fuck him.
Yup. This goes way deeper than Trump, conservative undermining of education has been in the works for decades, since Reagan. Adam Conover explains it well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAb_8bDHjE
People didn’t go to Bluesky because of an informed choice based on features or security. People went to Bluesky because that’s where everyone they want to follow went.
Primary Schumer, of course, but his term is up in 2028. AOC herself might be more focused on a separate race that particular year.
From the looks of it you can create your own character? So you might not even need to mod it to do that.
The “big issue” with this it that it is being done entirely to appease the vain whims of an egocentric wannabe dictator, and for no other reason.
As of five years ago, 70 petabytes: https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/12/01/donate-to-the-internet-archive-digital-library-of-free-borrowable-books-movies-music-wayback-machine-internetarchive/
in 2012 it was 10 petabytes. Now, it’s probably well over 100 petabytes. I think it well beyond the scope of torrents by now.
Side note: does he get his bitcoin wallet back?
Dude was deep into Bitcoin back when it was less than a dollar. If he diversified and stashed just a fraction of his holdings, he might now be one of the richest people on the planet.
Who says crime doesn’t pay? :/
DEI is basically “you know that thing we do where we only hire from the old boys club at our favorite ivy league university? Let’s hold off on that.”
Companies benefit from DEI policies because they expand their hiring pool, so the company ends up with better talent. They’re still aiming to hire the best out of that pool, of course. Companies are motivated by profit, not by reparations.
I know its effect won’t be more equality.
Its effect will be more equality. Unfortunately that is not a good thing for the old boys club, which is what motivates the FUD and disinformation you’ve heard regarding DEI as a buzzword.
That would be awfully hypocritical, given that Mangione’s crime in the first place was (allegedly) killing a mass murderer.
Because it’s actually a quotation.
I know this is the internet, but quotation marks weren’t always just meant to denote insincerity…
