I thought this rat made access for researchers difficult, just like on reddit, thus getting bulletproof evidence via data harvesting got complicated.

The ride just never ends…

Department Of Gobbling Elonwiener doesn’t seem legal to begin with.

I perceive my advanced tools akin to a broom.

I can mop floors alright, but I also don’t want to sit down with a cloth to do it.

If I can’t do that myself, and it does that instead of me, that’s not just my tool, that’s my employee, and the one I now depend on.

‘AI’ companies sell us billions of hours of other people’s labor to replace our own need to interject our experience and ingrain themselves into our routine. Like the coming of ads, it’s already normalized. But this time, critical parts of our life has this black box dependancy and subscription.

He’d sign everything that they’d put before him. For some profit and ego boost he’s happy to be anyone’s proxy. Orange-painted gramps screaming hashtags isn’t him present, he is golfing and chilling at Mar-o-lago in luxury, but it’s a walking condom mask of him that earns money and power.

Also, LLM doesn’t usually have memory or experience. It’s the first page of Google search every time you put in your tokens. A forever trainee that would never leave that stage in their career.

Human’s abilities like pattern recognition, intuition, acummulation of proven knowledge in combination makes us become more and more effective at finding the right solution to anything.

The LLM bubble can’t replace it and also actively hurts it as people get distanced from actual knowledge by the code door of LLM. They learn how to formulate their requests instead of learning how to do stuff they actually need. This outsourcing makes sense when you need a cookie recipe once a year, it doesn’t when you work in a bakery. What makes the doug behave each way? You don’t need to ask so you wouldn’t know.

And the difference between asking like Lemmy and asking a chatbot is the ultimative convincing manner in which it tells you things, while forums, Q&A boards, blogs handled by people usually have some of these humane qualities behind replies and also an option for someone else to throw a bag of dicks at the suggestion of formating your system partition or turning stuff off and on.

Shortly after the news was announced, Altman posted on X: “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”

If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don’t see everything collected in Musk’s hands.

I had too much of the internet for life, and yet, I’m sure under israely custody their books would keep a lot of people warm to the end. What a troubling thought.

You haven’t seen a real pushback you maggots.

Neuralink ftw lol.

I agree. They need to be either pressured or abandoned.

I feel like they would need to rewrite it completely in that case, partially because no one knows how their legacy code works and partially because it’s completely broken.

Google with it’s billions and a promise of more free data did great with how office formats work. They set some little limits of what user can do compared to MS Word so ending up with a broken table or whatever is harder, and they aslo strong-armed their way into adoption with their obvious mechanics of real-time collaboration.

I’m not sure about MS users coming to Linux, but their marketshare was already bled by Google. And if in some scenario Google releases their own internal XML format for these, I guess it’d work too.

MS Office’s lie of WYSIWYG and the idiotic requirements to follow absurdly complicated formatting guidelines and them not rendering the same from system to system or even correctly is the most brutal offender. If we used simplistic markdown without page-breaking in the GUI, there could’ve been no point to buy Office, but we don’t, and itso hsppens I had encountered many times where some arbitrary cosmetic request like ‘you can’t have less than X lines per page’ caused people toy with formatting or rewriting their documents… only for it showing differently on the other side >:ç Thus leading to even worse things like PDF.

It being the most used piece of office software renders the voluntary switch close to impossible.

Some of them just don’t want to take responsibility if they do something wrong under your instructions.

There’s likely no way to say the DB they obtained is deleted without a copy. They should behave like it is stolen and can’t be deleted, there’s no way to gracefully walk back once it’s obtained, and any known further leak should be linked to that if not proven otherwise.

OceanGate happened too soon and with wrong people.

Thanks for updating me on that. Now I’m stupidly giggling at a thought of a Metal Gear-like walking oil refinery dodging rockets and planes.

And isn’t starlink receiver a backpack-sized thing? Most drones wouldn’t be able to carry it at all, and if they could, it’s more viable to carry grenades instead. Internet-enabled drones are of a very narrow usage for missions where everything else doesn’t make it, e.g. long-distance attacks you mentioned. I guess Cessna drones were controlled via it too.

Netanyahu bought it with a golden pager. Now US officials just follow his demands. The art of the deal, amiright?

That’s why a lot of them are also rapists.
