Mods could just make a filter to remove everything new anyway. The concept of mods being unpaid volunteers means they get to fuck with reddit if they really want. They already had that issue with some subs just starting to allow porn during the first api protest. Sure reddit can just churn through to newer friendlier mods like the first time but they’re not going to be able to crush all the dissent and drama from moves like that.

But actually I think reddit has a bigger problem than protests. They tweaked their algorithm recently and it is going the way of facebook now, I’ve been getting 0 upvote day-old posts shown to me. They’re probably getting more engagement but I don’t think redditors are going to put up with that level of enshittification as easily as other social media where people are locked in by friends and followers.

You had me in the first half, ngl

I’m so glad I quit consoles. Now I’m just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don’t have to deal with Windows either.

To be clear he said he would bring in more people to do the extra work in order to not pay overtime.

We know he does stiff workers all the time but in this clip he didn’t actually say that he has workers do overtime and then refuses to pay for it.

Super interesting. The guy claims is wasn’t just ai, that he performed alterations as well. If that’s true but he still gets shot down it might pave the way for AI being much more shunned in the world out of IP concerns on the output side rather than the training data.

You can’t copyright that music, game, book, screenplay or video because AI made some contribution.

Some of us like linux and want to deal with it…

No, most of this is untrue. Ex Presidents can refuse secret service detail. They are allowed to drive on public roads - that is a secret service rule that they can’t but it’s not against the law and Presidents don’t have to follow those rules. And they are allowed to live outside the US if a host country allows them.

Keep making life shitty and it will happen all on its own anyway. Hell making it a law might Streisand Effect it.

Here’s this one cool hack they don’t want you to know about. Governments hate it!

You don’t have to. It’s a tongue-in-cheek scenario. I’m not actually comparing real numbers of people who would die. The killing of construction workers in this thought experiment just embodies any negative outcomes, not necessarily just the amount of people who will die, and you can internalize whatever ratio you want to it. Or don’t, idc.

That 11x election cycles with at least one of three last names on the ballot is only a record tie.

We had John Adams x4, George Clinton x2, DeWitt Clinton x1, James Monroe x2, John Quincy Adams x2 also a total of 11x.

Roosevelts were on the ballot 8x election cycles but the gap years screwed them. And they were close to uniting with the Nixon 5x streak also with some gaps. And then after one cycle right into the Bush Sr streak. If things shook out just a bit different there was a 19x streak in the cards.

Open AI has a projected revenue of 3 Billion this year.
It is currently projected to burn 8 Billion on training costs this year.
Now it needs 5 Gigawatt data centers worth over 100 Billion.
And new fabs worth 7 Trillion to supply all the chips.

I get that it’s trying to dominate a new market but that’s ludicrous. And even with everything so far they haven’t really pulled far ahead of competing models like Claude and Gemini who are also training like crazy.

A trolley barrels towards a bunch of construction workers stuck on the tracks.

• If you pull the first lever it will divert and only kill one person.
• If you don’t pull the first lever it will kill 100 people, including that one person from before - he’s standing before the track change.
• But, and now this is key, there is a second lever to the right of the first that says “Display lever only, does nothing.” It does nothing.

What do you do?

They definitely do, especially legacy stuff that’s still kicking. Sweet, sweet tech debt that you hope won’t be a real problem until you’ve moved to a different company.

I’ve used word/onenote or FOSS equivalents the same way, they’re fine as a scratchpad for notes. As you said it’s nice being able to shove images in there. There are so many things that don’t belong anywhere else that I will forget after even a half hour break.

Nintendo Lawyers realizing some of their IP is represented in LLM training data and outputs.

Depends on what you do. Plenty of people only have to walk from car door to heated building so crappy winter clothes isn’t a huge deal. There are those people that wear shorts year round based on that principle.

As a counter example my wife and I have separate rooms and some hobbies that we don’t share…and it’s amazing. She’s still my best friend, we still hang out every day, we still do the dirty, we’re still very much in love…we just realized that we both love some degree of personal space, personal time when necessary, and sleep 10x better in separate rooms. I think we still fit the idea of “best friends doing life together” despite not wanting that 24/7 always together lifestyle.

Yeah that’s probably it. I haven’t seen Snowpiercer and was mixing the two up.

For some reason I always thought it was an fps that takes place on trains…I’ll check it out now because I like city builders.
