It’s life changing when you start to rtfm.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

1. Take dog that’s not well trained to a pheasant hunt.
2. Get mad at dog for not being a well-trained pheasant hunting dog.
3. Realize you don’t have enough cages to take all the dogs back safely. Leave the untrained dog in the back of your truck hoping it jumps out and dies or runs away because you’re mad at it.
4. Stop by a friend with chickens. OMG the untrained dog that was left unsecured in the back of your truck that you’ve been teaching to hunt birds has killed some chickens.
5. Shoot the dog because you’re angry.
6. Shoot a goat as well because you’re already on a rampage and hate it too.

The Kristi Noem one, when I heard the news I assumed it was just unavoidable farm life type of shit. Like the dog got rabies or seriously injured and putting it down was just the right thing to do…

Then I read the story and holy hell that woman shot a perfectly healthy dog out of spite. South Dakota has animal shelters, Kristi, you psycho.

Yeah people are really sleeping on the “Cheat the election or try to start a civil war” possibilities.

People in this thread don’t seem to understand how anti big business the FTC has been since Lina Khan was appointed. These reports are meant to be used by congress to help guide real policy. It’s one thing to just assume social media is violating privacy, it’s another thing to have a facts-based report on exactly what is currently happening.

Of course the FTC needs new laws to do any enforcement and there’s probably not enough anti corporation politicians to pass laws that give them real teeth on data privacy issues.

Luckily radiation levels have pretty much dropped back to pre-war levels now so new steel can be low-background as well. It was possible to make new low-background steel from 1945 onward too it just would have been more expensive than salvaging pre-war ships. I like the analogy though, it fits.
