It's downright traitorous if Trump ordered and even worse if Musk ordered it.

I don't agree.

If Musk did it himself, that's terrible. No one man should have that much power.

If Trump did it, then we have the same objection again (no one man should be able to leave the country we promised to defend in exchange for giving up nukes high and dry like that) plus we have Leon obeying his order.

And woe to those to want to compete against them - consider they have unlimited 'free' tokens to build their apps while you don't.

Just performing the computations costs money. If you want to compete against them in the slop olympics then yeah you're fucked, but you can still compete with nonslop.

Actually an AI assistant in meetings is one of the few useful things they do. Automatically generate timers based on agenda items and tick them off as you go, live translation, minutes, and noting action summaries.

I wouldn't trust it to do that. In my testing AI sometimes gets confused about who is being talked about. It assigns the wrong identity to pronouns, so "he" or "she" gets translated to the wrong name and that shows up in the transcript which is consequently nonsense. Sometimes it does it correctly, sometimes it doesn't... so you can't count on it to do it right and you have to review all its output as usual.

When I take meeting notes, I might miss something, so AI is "good" for that in that it might catch something I missed. But it doesn't replace me, because I can follow a conversation, and sometimes it can't.

It's nonsense. There is no way to guarantee that AI won't cause harm. It's literally impossible. Even if you could come up with a methodology, you couldn't prove it in a timely fashion, but you wouldn't have to anyway because you'd wind up proving the opposite. It would be impossible even without having to re-run every test zillions of times to account for the number of random seeds.

Funny, they say they don't allow deep linking but do allow bookmarks, so you can click in the address bar and hit enter to see the content.

Anyhoo, yeah, that's what I want. I used to have a service like that, it was called a google search. Well I went to google today and it showed me... nothing. So I guess I'm a DDG user now.

Definitely not as harmful, but excessive citric acid is implicated in heartburn and reflux, can cause peristalsis, and can affect IBS and ulcerative colitis. It can trigger a histamine release, or irritate the gut lining. In smaller quantities it can actually improve immune response, but the central theme of processed foods is too much of a good thing.

In the past, Nintendo has drawn criticism from the preservation community. In 2022, the Video Game History Foundation publicly criticized the company for announcing it would be closing the Wii U and 3DS eShops. The foundation released a statement saying that Nintendo's decision was "actively destructive to video game history."

Video game history is meaningless if we cannot play the games. Nintendo will preserve the games for themselves, and rerelease the games they choose to release on a schedule of their choosing. They are doing this for only one reason, more ammo to fire at people making and playing backups and emulators.
