> this thread didn’t have specific policies people took issue with Can you give me a consistent principal that that the government of the day is doing outside of flopping around sc…

It just means that the entire system has not been captured by insane people that there is still some pushback. Anyone who believes in the Unitary Executive Theory likely believes t…

Whether or not you agree with how US laws are drafted, this administration has no logical foundation for anything it does which is a massively different and worse problem by orders…

Yes, if it was that a search result returned a defamatory article that Google had nothing to do with outside of indexing, it is likely they would not be found liable. The court is …

> Pretty much the exact thing that Google AI Overview does. No, the article implies the court’s logic is that the AI search results are presented as search results and that’s a big…

There is a lot of tension that the report seeks to either minimize or avoid. It’s also just really hard to express it in a report like this because there’s no real place for it if …

IMHO, Ruby Central keeps trying to find a way to frame all of this in a good light, but it seems like they keep falling flat. They tried doing filtered Q&A avoiding all the obvious…

From what I can tell, this story is primarily about personalities. The community essentially ended up with several factions, but I’ll try to explain this without it degenerating in…

Don’t worry Peter Thiel will help change that after he destroys the functionality of most of the global economy since he’s basically asserted that New Zealand is his break glass re…

Why? If you care about the rules based order that we have mostly try to adhere to for decades, all of this is an enormous attack on it. Is the United States at war or not? What bas…

It did not raise $110 billion. According to their own SEC filings $35 billion of Amazon’s funding is contingent on “(i) OpenAI meeting specified milestones, and (ii) OpenAI directl…

The future is not evidence? I don’t understand what you’re saying. > The company is going to produce 5-6X the revenue with a similar number of employees as they had 6-7 years ago b…

The problem is that there is no hard evidence anywhere to actually prove this. I’m going to avoid whether or not AI productivity gains are real, but all the “data” I have seen affi…

I believe that OpenAI wants to IPO at that valuation. I don’t think it can IPO.

This really depends on how a state structures this, but “county courthouse” is not necessarily a meaningful statement. The judiciary is a state function and it has been delegated t…

I remember distinctly that the developers said they were working on a next generation version of it and it just never happened. I think they just ran out of funding and died with a…

I think he’s just a guy who got a lot of money who can pay people to implement his sometimes weird, sometimes useful, often ill-conceived obsession with decentralization and a very…

Apple is on the record as being neutral at worst on the matter and at best weakly supportive. I think there was an article when the M1 came out where it was reported that the Asahi…

This reminds me of modern windows having fake panes. They’re just strips that are applied to give the impressions that there are multiple smaller panes because people are used to t…

The most worrying thing is that Mullenweg just seems unwell and has created his own reality distortion field where he can no longer see the absurdness and damaging nature of his ac…

FWIW, I found LocalSend ( https://localsend.org/ ) to be quite handy especially since it is a cross-platform solution.

I agree with most of this story, but I really find the assertion that weird nerds are just autistic rather offensive and dismissive. It reminds me way too much of lazy teachers in …

It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon them not understanding it.

Is where we are any good? I think one of the more germane issues with generative AI art is that it is distinctly not creative. It can only regurgitate variations of what it has see…
