Oh this is a funny topic; I just found myself looking for a decent music player on linux like a month or so ago and the situation was... disappointing . The nicest looking one I co…

Cyberpunk meets opium wars... Actually sounds like a not so bad setting for a book/game/movie ngl; sure sounds like a garbage setting for a world to actually live in.

Same here; I'm all for a "ban" but it doesn't have to be all social media, just force them to use a simple rules-based algorithm for minors. But meh, it's a broader issue anyway. J…

...or that anyone who thinks "I'd start a company if I could become the next Apple, but otherwise it's pointless" is someone you want running a company.

With cookies disabled I get a blank website, which is a massive red flag and an immediate nope from me. Can't imagine someone incapable of building a website would deliver a good (…

You can tell I'm European, but I think in this case, at the time when consumers accepted these conditions they might not have had any way of understanding the ramifications, so eff…

I wouldn't count on the US anymore, considering today's political climate. But in theory, EU+US could probably make a very compelling argument to China that if all three agree to p…

> Even if you can enforce this somehow This is super simple to enforce. For starters, we only really care about the companies developing big commercial AI products, not the people …

If you could separate the information from the intellectual property, sure; but if the model is also capable of generating a similar article, that's the point where it starts infri…

Then they are stealing people's content and imho should be punished for it. It is baffling that we let companies get away with "if you don't opt out you agree" or even "you can't o…

Indeed; this is like stealing the icemen's ice to fuel refrigeration. If some technology makes your job (partly) obsolete, too bad for you. But you shouldn't be forced to contribut…

My opinion continues to be that AI companies should have to prove that they have consent to use any and all data their models are trained on. That is, be able to prove a) that thei…

What you need to understand is that what you are frustrated about isn't you being treated unfairly, it's something that was given to you unfairly in the first place now being yanke…

> China wants peaceful reunification But this isn't true though; China wants a one-sided reunification at all costs and would prefer if it was peaceful. Fun fact: All countries tha…

I love the irony, but also wonder if businesses will ever realise their treatment of their employees is creating this attitude.

No, it's the opposite, actually. Friends don't compete, they cooperate. Turning cooperation into competition is how you execute a divide and conquer strategy. If a group is too str…

"need", as in can't do without, no. People survive without friends. It's a miserable life though; for one, not everyone even has a romantic partner, and even for those who do, bein…

People having friends sucks because, while you can shove products in between them, you can only sell them at a price justified by the value they add to the friendship, not the valu…

...are you suggesting Taiwan should instead just peacefully give up its independence and human rights?

> This increase is not coming from human readers, but largely from automated programs that scrape the Wikimedia Commons image catalog of openly licensed images to feed images to AI…

> They argued their party was being "discredited and criminalised" shortly before the change of government. The AfD is known for their narratives of perpetual victimhood. They conv…

I am convinced they would absolutely tell the truth if they had handed over any data to the Chinese government and would never just lie about it to protect their business interests…

I'm pretty sure it's the opposite, and the rise in autism diagnoses is almost entirely people who overall function well in society and wouldn't have been diagnosed in the past. So …

> Ignoring experts doesn't make facts disappear And yet it seems like every last politician without literally a single exception thinks that they it does work that way.

What's gonna be next? Banning Ukrainian students to help combat "Russophobia"? This is just so weird. How do people support this stuff only to then go on and complain about "free s…
