Is it a single person or a worker co-op? Their copyright is sacred.

Is it a corporation? Lol, lmao, and also yarrr

I saw like a couple articles and a talk about Bell’s theorem 5 years ago and I immediately clocked this as a vast, vast oversimplification

They already had the Essential thing in the Nothing 3, but funnily enough, when I was shopping for a phone, it looked like the least obtrusive and annoying “AI feature” across the board, because every single fucking phone is now “AI powered” or whatever the shit.

But if they turn their OS into “AI native” and it actually sucks ass then great, I don’t think there’s literally any non-shitty tech left with Framework turning fash.

I still refuse to learn what an ezra is, they will have to drag my ass to room 101 to force that into my brain

Happy that we graduated from making military decisions based on what the Oracle of Delphi hallucinated to making military decisions based on what Oracle® DelPhi® Enterprise hallucinated

Oh look, it’s literally “we’re still early”, I missed the classics

My completely PIDOOMA take is that if you’re self-interested and manipulative you’re already treating most if not all people as lesser, less savvy, less smart than you. So just the fact that you can half-ass shit with a bot and declare yourself an expert in everything that doesn’t need such things like “collaboration with other people”, ew, is like a shot of cocaine into your eyeball.

LLMs’ tone is also very bootlicking, so if you’re already narcissistic and you get a tool that tells you yes, you are just the smartest boi, well… To quote a classic, it must be like being repeatedly kicked in the head by a horse.

Oh for fuck’s sake

Ye it’s called a “grift”

What brilliant observation, your mom must be proud

They clank when you hit the gpu with a big hammer

“If you said something different you would’ve said something different” what brilliant rhetoric, your mom must be proud

I think everyone can agree on “this is a slur that we took from StarWars to be derogatory and justify our distaste and opposition to genAI”, it’s just that some people think that’s a bad thing?

Like it appears some people think using the n-word is bad because it’s Bad™, not because there’s an actual dehumanising effect on a group of people. What’s your argument, that we’re dehumanising Grok? Ye because it’s not a human! “But if it was about the Jews it’d be bad” ye and if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike, what the fuck is your point?

As for the origins I also think it is very important that the word is “clanker” from StarWars, since their droids are not sentient, whereas both “toaster” and “skinjob” are actually used as a hateful term towards sentient beings. BSG goes out of its way to drive in the fact that genociding Cylons would also be bad, actually. The sentience of “skinjobs” is like the whole point of Blade Runner.

Isn’t it insane that there is a separate special fapcircle of open-source contributors that are also untenable human beings?

Unrelated note but why is fashtech even a thing and why did no one warn me about it before I made my career choice, I could’ve been a happy person

the fash papertrail for Ladybird really shouldn’t have to go much farther than them receiving money from fascists in a group that included other fascists but here’s more anyway

https://possum.city/notes/a504c0e7vwdj000h

That link goes to a post that links to 4 Twitter posts, the first one of which is just a screenshot of a PR (?); then a post “basically @BrendanEich right now”, name I haven’t heard before but apparently that’s the guy that made Brave (how the fuck does that project still exist) so at least this one tracks; then there’s a donation from ProtonPrivacy so I’d need receipts for them being fashy, I know they were doing that stupid AI bot but that’s all; and finally some talk by a guy I’ve never heard of at a conference I’ve never heard of for FUTO which the only bell it rings for me is the university in Nigeria but that doesn’t make sense

I need a fucking codebook to read these receipts, what is going on

At both unis I was at (U of Warsaw, TU Munich) courses with heavy loads contract out grading to students of the university. E.g. during my M.Sc. I was grading submissions for one of the B.Sc. courses I already completed. You get a small amount of money for that.

Contracting out to a company sounds extremely USA-pilled, as in “the university does not have enough resources so, instead of increasing their budget, we use THE FREE MARKET BABY and have a company whose whole existence is dependent on that resource hole continuing to exist.”

Weinstein released his Geometric Unity paper on April 1, debuting it on Joe Rogan’s podcast

Okay, like, you could’ve just started with this, this Weinstein person is clearly an idiot and cannot be taken seriously

His Geometric Unity proposal, therefore, has all the hallmarks of an outsider attempting to revolutionize physics, casting him as an Einstein-like figure toiling alone at the patent office.

I hate this framing so fucking much, Einstein wasn’t an “outsider”! He was known and respected! He talked to other prominent physicist all the time! Where does this myth even come from.

Hey I’m not an artist or really familiar with film and I also could’ve told you this

It’s not even that hard to grasp, ChatGPT is trained on all of human textual output it can be and it can’t write a coherent story, Copilot is trained on all of open-source code in existence and it can’t write a correct line of C++, obviously a film model is not gonna be any better
