The coal industry

Ask her about what life was like when she was younger (like, before your parents were born). Shell enjoy reminiscing, and you’ll learn some interesting things.

Sure, and instances are defederatable if it becomes a problem.

Idk, the moderation distribution helps, I think. I agree that it will become a problem for very large fedi servers, but that’s just an argument for increasing the number of small and medium servers

• depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. free range does mean something in Australia).

I was confused by your comment until I realised this wasn’t an Onion headline.

We should have required some basic social science or political science courses in comp sci from the start

This is worth a listen for some background on how EA thinking has been influencing the AI world:

Short version is that it’s a cult that believes that they are about to bring about a god, and need to ensure they are the ones in control.

“The ux is fine” doesn’t mean it’s feature perfect. I agree the text editor sucks, I use other tools like inkscape when I need text.

Gimp ux was bad. It’s been fine for years.

Freecad is WAY newer, and has had a fraction of the developer time spent on it.

I don’t know how someone can think “AI CAN obscure reality …”

Obviously the fundamental truth is “AI does obscure reality …” (Often this will be inconsequential, but that doesn’t make it less true).

(Edit: especially an academic, FFS)

Like a fraction of a percent of people will run their own models. It won’t influence price. Remember that coders/tech people are only a minority of users.

now they are laying of staff? What, did they blow their whole budget out?

I think there’s this belief that guardrails like this are implemented as some kind of rules that the model must follow (like, a logical constraint). They aren’t, they are just extra details added in to the context window - effectively prepended to the response (source: OpenAI’s tutorial on how to implement guardrails). There is no guarantee that it will interpret them correctly, or follow them.

Starlink needs to be nationalised… Or … Um… UNised?

Isn’t fact they are having a hard time offloading that debt an indication that other investors are shying away from it because they see the data centre risk?

Not with that attitude

That’s the neat thing, none of it’s real, and the AI investment bubble is going to make that very clear in the near future.
