make russian lives as bad as possible
Wasn’t that the Shock Doctrine strategy from back in 1996? Anyone remember what followed?
Because then Russians would stop buying their phones.
Quite a few of the mods are severing alternative interests. The partisan subs are run by literal party staffers and think tanks. Lots of the big brand subs are run by marketing agencies. Reddit’s financial model is to sell these spaces. You don’t just have some random mega-fan running /r/Marvel. That’s a Disney staffer.
None of these guys are going anywhere.
I protested, they said, nope
Protesting on a site that’s fully automated their administration just means getting told “fuck you” twice.
There’s no real bureaucracy under the hood. It’s just “friend computer says you’re guilty” followed by “friend computer says you’re still guilty plus you had the gall to doubt friend computer’s immaculate wisdom”.
Reddit vacillates between operating as a clearing house for the most ugly, racist, reactionary propaganda currently in circulation and doing pogroms against the six subreddits that got popular posting current events about a new kind of genocide we invented.
I’m glad I left, but it’s hard not to look over my shoulder and notice they’re doing the same fascist bucket carrying from 2020 and 2016 and 2012 and 2008 and…
It’s not a Dem/Rep issue nearly so much as it is an Insider/Outsider issue.
“Cross us and your constituents will get a leak of your AI generated nudes” style intimidation. Great for getting rid of pesky populists and regulators and people who give a shit about climate change.
they stopped and asked themselves if people want and need a foldable?
Who wants a thin phone with a large screen? Nobody.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter claimed 6.5B unique users.
Empty Internet Theory is a clever joke, but it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
I’m confident you could unload the property for $4B easily enough. That’s somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-100/unique user amortized out over the life of the loan, which would be a steal via any other advertising medium.
Twitter still has real value. Hundreds of millions of people still use it, even in its deplorable state. And under new management, I’m confident people would flood back in.
Gruesome Newsome’s veto pen is to the right of Reagan’s.
How exactly do LLMs do that?
If you hook an LLM up as an interface replacement for a manual/analog Power Plant interface and start asking the translator to intuit decisions based on fuzzy inputs, you can create a cascade of errors that result in grid failure.
If you’ve given an LLM’s pseudorandom output control over your electrical grid, no regulation will mitigate your stupidity.
This rule would prevent a business or public regulator from doing such a thing without proving out safeguards.
And the governor vetoed it.
It’s ok to charge money to run a business.
They’re not charging money. They’re just throwing up a big sign demanding my email address.
They’ll just get a check for Infinity Money to keep going, because otherwise something something China Will Win.
Can’t do crimes if you’re rich. It’s in the Constitution
The original author (Jeremy Hsu) is misleading here with the term “screenshot every 500ms”.
“meta tags every 500ms” might be more accurate, but the end result is the same. The device is monitoring what you consume in order to aggregate data on your household.
Absolutely hate this shit.
Ublock does such a good job at blocking the old janky torrent sites, especially compared to the increasingly aggressive and intrusive new shit.
