Reads like Cormac McCarthy a bit. I like it.

You see articles like these pop up every few months. The theme is usually along the lines of “he’s not just any billionaire. He is filthy rich but he is also just like you”. It’s transparent pandering imo.

Gabe has a very good PR team. Don’t you remember all the “Gabe plays video games too” articles? Staying out of the spotlight isn’t the same as being a good person.

If he was a good person, he would be using his wealth to help society instead of owning more than a billion worth of boats. If he was a good person tbh, he’d close the spigot a bit so more profit would go to devs but he takes his fat cut like all the other store owners.

They usually are battery powered, and warn you well in advance when it has to be changed.

Cut my nail in two pieces

Trimmed them way too short

Frustration

No unboxing

Don’t give a damn, but this tape won’t start peeling

The second part of my first paragraph is sarcastic. I realize I worded it weirdly.

That being said, they need us upset so it’s easier to pass laws that make developing AI models impossible for smaller players.

Most are begging for stronger copyright laws. It’s nuts.

The one with Tom Cruise? I always found that one to be some pretty good sci-fi.

Hugging face open sourced a dataset every big AI company already has privately. We need to get mad about this because hugging face is the last target to take down, to finish the regulatory capture started at the behest of openAI and company.

Even if scrapping GitHub was made illegal, does anybody here really think the money would go to them and not Microsoft?

It’s data brokers and the copyright mafia vs open source and you guys are choosing to root for the former?

You don’t need consent. It’s better to have an open dataset, since all the big AI companies have their own private dataset anyways (which isn’t opt-out).

So it starts I guess. Hugging face holds basically all the open source data and models, the government will start going after them now that they are getting copyright wins. It’s regulatory capture. They are doing it at the behest of big AI companies to kill the competition.

I raise with Condylostylus, the prettiest of flies

For big batches to freeze I use oil. For a small meal without oil, I’ve found it works if you spray on the oil during the air frying a few times. I mostly do that for tofu. I toss mushrooms or other veggies in olive oil, herbs and garlic, and toss it in there too with a bit of cheese sometimes.

An air fryer goes a long way, I don’t see much difference in terms of crispyness compared to regular oil frying and it’s a lot less cleanup and work.

What makes the critique anarchist over communist or socialist? Maybe I’m missing something but I see cyberpunk as being against corporate run city-states. Being for small communes doesn’t seem to be a requirement.

I don’t even think solar punk needs to be anarchist. You could have a small communist solar punk state for example. Granted, the links to anarchism are much stronger though.

Not really tho. It’s a critique of capitalism, corporations and consumerism. It’s just that anarchism critiques the same thing from what I understand, but they aren’t rigidly connected.

Sunos only competition got sued and then bought by universal and Warner’s.

This is about market capture. They’re dont want to remove it, they don’t want to pay the artists, they don’t want regular people to gen these on their own computer without giving them copyrights.

You know the only thing that changed when they wrestled control of Udio (Sunos competitor)? You can’t download your generated songs without paying them and they slapped on extra copyrights on anything generated.

This is a joke. Copyright companies are not our friends.

Your whole account and username is based on hating AI but it’s the other side that’s in a cult?

Fact is there’s has been a media campaign being run since it started so gen pop would clap and cheer when big AI companies capture the market with regulations. You just responded to it.

I’ll keep using it to lighten my work load at work and spend more time fucking around. Hopefully, Big AI loses even if they have your help.

Someone save the record companies before it’s too late

Can’t find the app guys. Where is it? Bruh. Help me someone, my girlfriend is coming home and I don’t want to get mocked for the same thing two days in a row.

They have detectors that work fairly well. Not perfect but at least it’s something that can be verified by hand afterwards and reduces the workload. I’m fairly certain X isn’t running them by choice though.
