Technology@lemmy.world•Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spikeEnglish
20·10 hours agoWhy DDoS Cloudflare when they could just pressure them directly like they did with BBC or Paramount? I know this administration isn’t exactly the brightest but that doesn’t seem like something they’d do.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble PopsEnglish
7·12 days agoUgh… Minor rant.

Now she won’t stop pushing it onto my mom like a salesman by saying she should do this and that with ChatGPT or whatever, and it’s so freakin’ annoying.
Luckily, I’ve told my mom straight up to not buy into it.

Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI moves to allow “mature apps” on its platformsEnglish
72·17 days agoOn one hand, more power to the people. On the other hand, ChatGPT is being operated by a company ran by Sam Altman.
I don’t know either, and that’s the problem. Open source projects can justify being free, even if some of the business models are a bit questionable (e.g. open core). What I do know is companies behind proprietary software has proven time and time again that we’re the product.
