Tell us later which flavor Jensen chose for boots today, and if you’re willing to keep on licking them for free

if you have enough money, you can pretty much buy your privacy… by using lawyers

never forget for whom the system really works

they’d be taken down faster than you can upload them

this link is pure gold, but I wonder how much time it will last, there must already be an army of lawyers chasing these people

For exsmple, Linux is a clone of AT & T Unix.

Unless your definition of “clone” is very different from the mainstream one, you’re talking out of your ass here. Linux was written from scratch. The only thing they’ve got in common is being POSIX-compliant.

Their AI guessing that I don’t want anything at all from shitbucks isn’t really impressive, to be honest

“Cognitive offloading” == “lobotomy”

If you think that people currently in power will willingly give it up, you’re beyond naive.

we just need a critical mass % of people willing to break the current system down, the rest can be dragged along, kicking and screaming all the way

every now and then those AI monopolists let their users’ conversations leak and this risk might be inadmissible for some

it’s out of reach for us, but for some companies this might end up being cheaper than buying AI from american monopolists

Plex enshittified too much to be useable, I ended switching to jellyfin too last year

I’d hazard that people buying those cards at that price aren’t buying them for gaming, they’re using them to run local AI models

You’re very wrong if you think I’m being defeatist because I enjoy it. I’m just jaded after a lifetime of enduring the apathy of everyone around me. If you’re not like me yet and don’t want to lose that spark, keep fighting. I’m just too tired to do it myself. Good luck.

Of course they should, but they won’t. Regulation means an elected representative would have to propose the law, it would have to be approved, then signed into law. Won’t ever happen because of regulatory capture.

They don’t have to be special, they just have to be allowed, which depends on local laws that restrict their weight, speed, and other things.

This is your opinion and I disagree. They’re free to sort it out with the heavy machinery on the tarmac, though, if and only if they’re taxed as other vehicles are taxed too.

This whole line of argument misses my point that giving workers a share of the benefits of innovation would be better than treating the innovations as the enemy.

We’re talking about uber eats, do you think they will give any worker a share of any benefit? Get real.

Cars and motorcycles aren’t allowed on sidewalks. What makes those robots so special that you think they should be allowed to occupy an already crowded and very definitely human space?

When they take Taiwan they will control most microprocessor manufacturing

The don’t even need to, as they are evolving their semiconductor technologies by leaps and bounds for quite some time. They even managed to reverse engineer the latest lithography machines that the taiwanese host.

I’m disgusted at colleagues just copy pasting our IP

“Our” IP? I think you mean “your employer’s IP”, right?
