Comment Re: $400M for AOL (Score 1) 35

you're stuck in the 90s. nobody even cares for that!

you know those reports showing ad networks sending all your data to China? well, that's AOL. and now yahoo (which Apollo also bought).

the worst performer ad networks in the planet, but they still get campaigns from apple and other big brands with too much money. so they can participate in reverse bidding (when the site you visit send all your info to hundreds of ad networks to sell an Ad in realtime) which then stores all that data, build your user profile, and sell it.

and yet even the EFF (who recently fired stallman and is probably led by clueless syncopants) issues an amicus brief for openai... go figure.

also this whole lie by openai now being a bastion of privacy and responsible data handling assumed they were not storing all logs before anyway, which they certainly are.

there is also the case where a story starts being translated to other languages but, due to a multitude of reasons, see the official translations end without giving non-japanese readers a way to read those stories other than via unofficial translations.

one of my favorite series, Full Metal Panic, was never fully translated to english or portuguese (my language), despite the story being concluded in 2013. Lone Wolf and the Cub is another example of a story that took decades to be fully translated to portuguse.

Comment Twitter/X vs Brazil (Score 1) 255

while the article fails to mention it directly, it quotes "Independent regulators now police social media companies, including prominent American platforms like X, and threaten immense fines for non-compliance with their strict speech regulations.”

This directly indicates this ban is (partially) aimed at Brazil's Supreme Court ban on Twitter/X because the platform failed to follow the law in Brazil, and failed to follow a a Supreme Court ruling against a group of misinformation/propaganda users.

also all those pieces demand a sort of flat-earth mentality since they claim outlandish things, like questioning the lowcost of training, when anyone can find tons of acadamic papers already corroborating their points https://www.pyspur.dev/blog/multi-head-latent-attention-kv-cache-paper-list

but despite that, even the "educated" crowd here will upvote "news" that it's impossible they didn't pay bazzillions dollars to nvidia or that surely they stole everything.
