I'm just sad that this whole thing is destroying tech's reputation. Every time I see an engineer give into this marketing nonsense it makes me fear for the future of our field. I g…

Hey guys I found one, this guy thinks Machine Jesus is going to save him. I'm trying to figure out if my advice to you should be to do more drugs or less. I am uncertain, perhaps I…

This is proof that America has forgot it's own history. America was founded by men who hated intellectual property, who stole and smuggled the plans and expertise for textile machi…

A lot more people are working on it than I expected there to be. It's the one time where the European Union's inability to advertise what they're doing is paying off in their favor…

Yes, I'm aware of the rest of it, I just didn't feel it particularly relevant to the discussion. Yes, I'm with you. I'm grateful that most of the news I hear about this is relative…

This already happened. The US government cut off a judge at the international criminal court from her Office365 account because she was pressing a war crimes case against Benjamin …

Honestly, as a European, I am okay with this. I want the US tech community to continue thinking of us as some sort of technological backwater. Ridiculing and deriding us, so they n…

I came here to find someone saying this. I swear we are heading toward McKenna's Peak Novelty in this timeline.

I mainly use AI for learning things these days. The biggest bottleneck is always providing the machine with your context in sufficient detail that it can understand how to help you…

Because there aren't any actual good guys in this story. There is one group that is taking short term gains, and another group that feels rejecting this will lead to long term gain…

Yeah, this is a public relations effort. Corporations, especially ones that have spent an obscene amount of money on AI companies aren't going to change their direction. They have …

Windows 10 is my last Microsoft Windows operating system. Between the fact that I had to turn of TPM in the bios so that I wouldn't wake up one day turn on my computer and see Wind…

This is why I give cash to delivery drivers. No I will not tip in app, that is obviously a scam.

American has not had functional anti-trust laws for the better part of the last 40 years. The current climate is just a peak.

Whenever I read anything like this, I am reminded that everyone should see Adam Curtis' "The Century of Self" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoMi95tfgP4 ) which is about how Sig…

It's a tactic, agree to the deal, the US ignores us. Allow the deal to get destroyed in parliament and the courts and it has no effect. The deal was a means by which to get enough …

This was all an EU tactic, we do it a lot. Agree to the deal, Trump shuts up and ignores us, destroy the deal in the courts, no real effect of the deal.

This is silly. Regulation exists to help balance out the power disparity between consumers and corporations that sell AI. The EU wrote a good AI law, it's mainly focused on access …

They recognise that the larger bubble is in the datacenters. Most of the hardware we are using was designed for computer graphics not AI. Now that China isn't buying Nvidia any lon…

Large entities aside, I would use this to mark my own generated content. Would be even more helpful if you could get the LLM to recognise it which would allow you to prevent ourobo…

This is exactly why I didn't buy an Amazon product as an eink reader. I want control over the things I own, I don't want them to exist locked up in a walled system where corporatio…

No, I don't think so. I think most of the work done in AI here is focused on current applications of AI not on the development of new AI.

But they don't want to do that. They want to use AI in their hiring process. They want to be able to offload their work and biases to the machine. They just don't want other people…

Which is the exact goal of the current wave of Tech oligarchy also.

Glad to hear that people are finally realizing that Godot is an excellent app development framework.
