You could accuse that “he inspired the Christchurch shooter,” but c’mon just being mentioned by a bad guy isn’t in and of itself a bad thing.
You got a problem with open source? In /c/opensource?

It seems the subject of AI causes lemmites to lose all their braincells.
Please read the comment more carefully. The observation is that one can proliferate a (legally-attained) work without running afoul of copyright law if one can successfully argue that cp
constitutes AI.
It’s full of random shit I put in as a joke, but here it is. You can use please -s

I wrote a script called please
. You input please
followed by any other command (e.g. please git clone
, please wget blahblah
) and a robotic voice will say “affirmative,” then the command will run, and when it completes, the robotic voice reads out the exit code (e.g. “completed successfully” or “failed with status 1” etc.)
This is useful for when you have a command that takes a long time and you want to be alerted when it’s finished. And it’s a gentleman.
Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.
Self-driving not being reliable yet is one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade.
the word “kill” is typically used in regards to warfare, not murder, so I’m not sure why you would say in this instance that it was written as though it wasn’t an act of war.
Constantly means habitually. I can’t even begin to formulate an apology for persistent spike though.
I’m planning to launch a human-only taxi service, but to cut costs the humans will be AI.
I can’t empathise with these book banners. If I had a kid, I’d probably be happier with them reading a book by a conservative ideologue than them not reading anything at all.
I’m not necessarily advocating for extra energy spent here. I’m advocating for not rubbing the salt into the wound by mocking her, like others are doing in this thread. Doesn’t exactly seem like a good way to be welcoming to new converts.
I would be tempted to agree with you that it’s a straw man, except for all the other responses to my comment.
No, this is a really fascinating take. I appreciate it.
It’s not about compassion at all. We need more numbers.
Then you should say that.
