Borderlands 3 felt like getting mugged by Randy Pitchford for 20 hours. I’m not a real fan.

Yes

Decentralized app plotting a total takeover of the social internet? Are these tryouts for the mental gymnastics invitational?

He’s got bigger fish to fry. Like cyclists and his war on bike lanes.

Well you don’t want to ruin someone’s life over one mistake do you? Just a little oopsie! I’m sure they feel really bad about it.

I’m certain that’s not what that means. It only means that if Anthropic or Google wants to train an AI model THEY can steal any content they want.

I really don’t want anyone to be using “Make X great again” as a slogan for anything.

Azul Crescent spotted in the wild? :D

What are they going to do when the suggestions are to do something other than rip out bike lanes and add more car lanes?

Good!

In this climate of post-law America… yeah. Whatever will happen will happen I guess.

In my riding CPC is projected “likely” to win. When I moved here it was the place that consistently voted green party and now it’s conservative. Crazy. And all the left needs to do is not split the vote. I don’t particularly care which party wins my riding as long as it’s not the CPC, but they are most likely going to win even though only 35% of the people support them. Frustrating.

In other words, carbon capture is not practical or scalable.

I don’t want Apple to win, but I DO want Musk to lose.

I don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.

So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.

What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.

I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.

What if instead of making quantum computers (hard) we just use AI to tell us what the quantum computation result would be?! (easy)

slash s, please don’t at me. It’s Microsoft. You KNOW some exec has already suggested it.

The war thunder forums are going to go HARD for the next 4 years.

I know it’s hard, and it takes work and everyone is stressed af… but you really should if at all possible look into the mla’s you vote for to see if they are personally bags of trash before voting for them instead of just voting based on the party they are in.

“Let’s set aside the obvious conflict of interest and ethics questions at play here —” You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

"We can even skip over the security implications pointed out by a cybersecurity expert in the Times piece. " You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

“As a practical matter alone, there’s no obvious reason to add another ISP in order to improve Wi-Fi coverage” It doesn’t take an entire paragraph to figure out what’s going on here let alone an entire article.

As someone from north of the USA border… PLEASE stop this man from stealing your country, Americans.

“Documents obtained under the freedom of information law show that then-Brookfield Asset Management vice-chair Mark Carney made a presentation to John Horgan’s cabinet on June 16, 2021.”

I am struggling to find something to find interesting here, aside from a reporter going back 4 years to dig up receipts for something completely reasonable and normal.
