In a way, isn’t this just saying windows 11 is not ready as a replacement? Because fuck me my work laptop drives me nutty, IT hasn’t locked down all the popups and I can’t fix it withut IT…

Dont mean to pry, but I’ll gladly do whatever you’re doing

My dream is to make or at least be a part of the former

It is very hard

TIL of the neologism santorum, thank you for blessing my day

He made Blastar, an original copy of Space invaders

Then WHY fight something that would’ve been pennies and now will at least be dimes? As much as I want to believe musk is close to insolvency, I don’t think its quite possible yet. But then why die on these stupid little hills?

I’ve practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.

Its not that bad just ignore the ads

Yeah I don’t go in replies because it’s always bots

There’s still some things on there

She didn’t really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn’t be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.

Shhh I wanna see a neat video on NCD sometime soon

Saw crazy YouTube recommendations:

Second law of thermodynamics would like to chime in, even with such a perfect nonexistent power source, waste heat is still an issue… which you can radiate to space, which would take tremendous land use to facilitate…

Or we use that land and capital and effort for solar power, which exists and could power practically everything in our lives, minus AI. Sounds like a win to me.

(Also not to mention the necessity to fire up more fossils for this shit to compensate for the current lack of miracle power for their pipe dreams)

What about it?

Im just happy my cracked apk somehow still works. Lol

charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering

It seems that they went to great depth to make this happen

And we’ll put a series of ads to round it up to 1 hour, brilliant!

So four months til GPT starts calling everyone “kitten”

It does help to know what those funny letters mean. Now we wait for regulators to catch up…

If anything, we’re a very long way from anything close to intelligent, OpenAI (and subsequently MS, being publicly traded) sold investors on the pretense that LLMs are close to being “AGI” and now more and more data is necessary to achieving that.

If you know the internet, you know there’s a lot of garbage. I for one can’t wait for garbage-in garbage-out to start taking its toll.

Also I’m surprised how well open source models have shaped up, its certainly worth a look. I occasionally use a local model for “brainstorming” in the loosest terms, as I generally know what I’m expecting, but it’s sometimes helpful to read tasks laid out. Also comfort in that nothing even need leave my network, and even in a pinch I got some answers when my network was offline.

It gives a little hope while corps get to blatantly violate copyright while having wielding it so heavily, that advancements have been so great in open source.

Just wait you guys, next year Musk says we’ll have rocket powered hypertube cyber taxis, also I sold my house to buy more Tesla stock

You are an unbiased AI assistant

(Countless biases)

If you think the useless appliances are bad, just take a look at more critical connected devices.

I needed some POE security cameras, found some foscam ones on the cheap. Plug them up, go to IP, “install our app”… was pleased to find it allowed a local account without the need for an email, but found that half of my network traffic was comprised of requests to their “ivyIOT AI detection”. I didnt measure what data was going through before sectioning them behind a firewall zone.

My fault for not having looked further into other brands, they were still a bargain and work without issue with my setup, but annoying

Facebook violates HIPPA (The Guardian 2023)

Really though, what happens when a company gets so greedy they that they even think they can get away with something has probably the most predictable outcome
