Microsoft owns GitHub which is the only way this makes sense. Sony did a marketing jab at MS for locking games to the console years ago. Though pretty goddamn wierd of a jab even if MS is the owner. Even wierder in that MS isn't the good guys in physical media either. Why is this being covered on slashdot?

Even if these are smaller AI models, they are still likely trained on cloud hardware. The kind that increases water and energy prices, the kind that cause dirty air from the generators, the kind with robot dogs protecting the premises dystopian terminator style

Maybe the offset of the people the hospital saves with the AI makes up for those who die around the datacenter? This all looks like a dystopian tradeoff to me.

It's always convenient to blame the users. That kind of logic (along with saying we can't do anything about it) is why things are the way they are and why they will get worse. You are stating that the behavior is okay and this is why there are no laws around it.

• A company is allow to embed hidden tokens to extract information on you, but if you send an email like that to a company it is called phishing.
• If a company is recording your audio and storing it, it is called AI Model Training or targetting for advertisements. If you do it it is called wiretapping or eavesdropping.
• If a company is recording your clicks, mouse movements and keystrokes it is called telemetry. If you do it to someone's computer it is called hacking.

I'm personally going to a dumb phone for my next phone because I'm tired of the common malicious uses by our tech industry attempting to monopolize my attention. It's gotten out of control. I would rather have the good fight yelling at the fuckers who decided I can't order from a restaurant without a QR code.

Technically your correct. But in the end the vigilante logic is bringing more visibility to the flock cameras which will in turn into angry citizens at city councils.

In the end this is just another part of silicon valley's "move fast and break things", which now adays means "rape you and ask you why you don't like it." It's only going to get worse before it gets better. People still have a degree of not assuming the worst.... but it won't last for much longer.

While I love Rust, I understand why Go was selected over Rust. If you compare the two languages, they are relatively similar and allow the same approaches to problems.

Rust though... it would have required rethinking everything while needing to keep an amount of backward compatibility.

func greet(name string) string {
return "Hello, " + name
}

function greet(name: string): string {
return "Hello, " + name;
}

I'm tired of AI being put into inappropriate places without permission. Advertisements like this are a bigger sign of Silicon Valley having transitioned from "move fast and break" to "fuck you ask ask why you don't like it." I don't want to have to question if the "photos" I get from a love one are ai generated. I don't want to wonder if a text I received some someone is their actual thoughts. We use AI for the things we don't care about and it implies a lot of about the people using it. It would also imply that the people writing the constitution didn't care.

Someone should assassinate Sundar Pichai for an ad like this. You have been one of the people at the core of why I see chat programs where you will accidentally push the AI button while trying to push send a message. Some may be saying that it is too late to push back on AI, I say it is too late for the lives of some of these CEOs. It isn't a one or the other thing.

I say this all the time, but the paying of money to the homeless pan handling of our big tech is a large reason why we are where we are now. Once they find a subscription market is saturated, they try to create a new one for more homeless pan handling. Giving money to pan handling just creates more pan handling that even those who are not paying for have to deal with. What I am saying is, if you pay for something like a Apple Music Subscription to get rid of that red system notification, Apple will eventually create a new service. And we ALL have to now see that red notification like something is wrong with our system.

I've been contributing to godot projects this year. When this PR came up, I thought it was interesting. It was closed as not planned.

I believe that you are the company that will use targeted advertising on me though unsolicited RayBan Sunglasses video recordings taken of me by your chump users?ãNo way to opt out even if I don't use your service? That is US big tech. Fuck Meta.

For those hating on Cloudflare, it has become a necessary evil. There are numerous articles out there about how scrapers are overwhelming servers. AI is used to do a lot of taking without giving back.

While this licensing might sound promising, it usually means less money for content creators. Here is a quote from quora, which generally falls in line with my knowledge and is applicable for deals like this.

Where money used to be made by record studios, movie studios and publishers, it's all shifting to a few big tech companies. Our world is homogenizing where Apple, Microsoft, AWS are at the center of it. Content creators when pulled into these (subscription) plans generally make much less than if you bought the work... they always get the shit part of the bargain.

I have said this before, but US Tech companies have gone from move fast and break things to fuck you and ask why you don't like it. There needs to be more regulation. I imagine eventually a person has a datacenter forcefully built in their residential neighborhood. It kills their child who has a heart defect from the constant noise and vibration. I imagine that someone like that would have a vendetta to take out some of these AI CEOs.

I do not have any faith in the companies of Silicon Valley to have the greater good in mind anymore. It's all about the money so this doesn't surprise me anymore.

Move fast and break things as progressively transitioned into fuck with people and don't give them to a choice to opt out. This ranges from robot-taxis blocking roads to scooters littering streets to AI glasses bringing surveillance so your data can be sold without your consent. Nope, you can't use money anymore so that your previous purchases can be used to sell targeted advertising spots with Google pay and Apple pay.

Silicon Valley needs some more regulation. I no longer give a shit about what new hype machine that have.

PSA; Stop giving money to homeless subscription pan handling. When you pay for a subscription, you just increase the behavior and with it more pan handling. The prices for hardware have gone up because of the fucktards who keep giving money to ChatGPT, Gemini etc. WE WHO DO NOT BUY THESE STUPID SERVICES have to deal with the increased prices because of idiots unable to show restraint. Good job fucking us over chumps.

This year the Democrats are paying for the Republican candiate Dan Cox in Maryland to win.

This ship has sailed. The Democrats have repeatedly payed money to prop up maga candidates while also screaming they are a threat to Democracy.

Even if the Republicans are wolves, even if you read left-leaning news like NPR or MSNBC the Democrats fucked up anyone believing what they are saying. Stop fucking tampering with elections so we can get some presentable candidates to vote for. It's not that fucking hard.

• The price of the iMac in 1999 adjusting for inflation is $2447. In 2023 it is $1299. Even with price increases we are well below classical Apple prices. reference
• I'm seeing memory prices having increased between $150USD to $500USD.reference
• The steam decks have gone up between $200 to $300. reference

• Microsoft said “console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027.”reference

I think the reality is y'all have an addiction to ChatGPT. And because you are paying for that subscription homelessness, we all have to pay. Paying money to the homeless just creates more homlessness and we have to deal with the problems you caused. Use your goddamn head you idiots.

Given the health and cost problems caused by AI Datacenters built in residential centers, I personally don't use AI for my own stuff. If I do, I prefer something on a local device. But with how chatbot AI is being force into everything so much now it is getting harder and harder to ignore it. xcode had an AI button that would just post errors not to long ago... prominently displayed so you can't ignore it. It's put into that spot you will accidentally click it.

There are those that say that AI is the inevitable new technology. I think that that concept of inevitability is born by social constructs that force a race to the bottom. In comparison to another hot issue (immigration): if your competitor is hiring illegal labor that they can underpay, at some point to compete you will need to do the same thing. It is a fixable problem, but no one wants to take responsibility for the cost of goods increasing.

At some point you are going to have someone die caused by the droning hum of these AI Datacenters. We saw a preview of this from Bitcoin mining datcenters, but the scale is so different it is much harder to ignore. These deaths will create people with vendettas. In the same way that some say that AI is inevitable and you need to skill up, I think it is inevitable we see Sam Altman and other visible CEOs dead in the next few years.

Modern tech companies homeless husks forever panhandling you on new subscriptions. There is very little redeemable about them for society.

Davinci Resolve has some syncing for a at least few years now. Here is a tutorial. https://beginnersapproach.com/...

Making a film is generally an arduous process. I personally think films where better when they had more constraints to force creativity. In the scheme of things even organizing for a story board forces you to think about what you have for clips a bit more deeply then the later editing process. You could say it is a blank page step of writing that you can steal with AI.

I think we would be better off if some a24 monsters came to kill Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

No, I don't think this will fundamentally change the behavior of AI CEOs. It's probably better to just get rid of them in the worst way possible.
