Gonna ration data with the same ethos they restrict what people on food stamps can purchase.

I need money so maybe I should look into selling all of mind now.

What’s stopping people from using open sourced trained models? Like, why are tokens going to be needed in the future? Isn’t this their whole business model?

Will it clear out our student loan and medical debt? Will it go rogue and publish the cures for all diseases similar to the end of Johnny Mnemonic?

What is the alternative to AD, and are there currently companies running that, big or small?

Tech addiction is tough. When people don’t like their environment they try to escape it and unfortunately the black mirror is there waiting for them. It’s not productive but it provides comfort.

Thought this thumbnail was Welcome to Nightvale for a moment

FAQ was dead linking when I clicked on it earlier, too.

Gonna be digg 2.0 (or 3.0?) all over again.

6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

That’s wild.

I had a micro USB charging port give me an issue once, but I’ve never had a program with a headphone jack or USBC port. Wow.

Vivaldi phases it out? I haven’t been off mobile in a while so I didn’t know that was planned. Waterfox still does ok.

Nothing happens in Mastodon.

That’s not a bad thing. Just find the instance that fits your hobbies or interest and vibe.

I just removed the Discover feed and stick to For You or Mutuals. Much more pleasant experience.

Bluesky is great because you can make your own algo or go with one that isn’t meant to keep you on the platform forever.

Mastodon is still my favorite, though.

That being said: I hardly use either, these days. I pop on, check statuses for people I care about, then I’m off. I don’t engage in banter or get into arguments. It’s way better than the other social platforms for this reason. …but it won’t get that same terminally online user base because it doesn’t seem coded to do that, thankfully.

What, you think every single company on Earth is dumb? You think that every programmer adopting it is dumb? You guys have no clue.

I’m sure you’re using the universal “you” here, but: I’m literally a programmer that uses AI through work. I’m currently on a team working with/creating our own internal agent. I still think that, for most fields, it’s snake oil. If you think the tech can be used to fight power: go for it, I guess. Instead it seems to be used to rationalize layoffs and generate CSAM on Twitter.

It would be easy to find out, one way or another, when reviewing arrest records and convictions, no?

X is bad, but have you considered that Y is also bad?

Fair

Can that wait until after I get a bunker with a solid arcade in it?

take great pleasure in seeing the shit hole your country is and is still becoming. ❤️

That’s a pretty weird thing to take pleasure in, right? Wouldn’t you want the whole world to snap out of it and become better/united?

We wouldn’t know about the acts of violence they stopped, though, would we?
