I highly recommend it. I daily crust because I don’t mind if something breaks and I figure it’s probably useful having a few people consistently using it so they can alert devs if something is fucked.

I’m keeping this because I really do feel like “techie” people forget that tech shit shit like back ups are a chore that 99% of people would rather not deal with.

Probably once they can stand on their own merits and make a profit. So never in the case of AI companies.

And they’re making it worse. Because remember the republican party fucking hates Vetran’s even if they say otherwise.

Your large paragraph has so many fallacies I genuinely don’t think you’re being serious.

Also go fuck yourself my rights are literally being stripped away so that corporations can own the government more.

I still can’t believe ancaps are real lmao. It’s the most obviously flawed ideology o have ever seen.

Just look outside and see that this but worse is a terrible idea.

I appreciate people like you. Makes finding people to block so much easier when all I have to do is scroll to verify instead of engage in a conversation then find out that they are not worth talking to half way through.

I think the AI bubble is really close to poping. If they can’t make a profit on it in the next 2 years (maybe sooner with how badly the economy is about to start doing) VC money will dry up and then they will have to up prices dramatically.

There’s a lot of factors I could get into but it seems like they are going to have to start pricing AI use at the very least cost soon.

And yet the title is still an accurate summary.

Focusing on the “progress” and “hope” while teaching slavery is indeed a form of white washing of history.

They can even scrape likes/dislikes and make profiles for people that don’t comment.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

So more energy use for what the people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

I would say the are farther ahead in the state controll aspect at the very least.

You know just because a fascist says something doesn’t make it untrue right? Like always double check what they say but them saying it doesn’t make it untrue. The UK is following so much closer behind the US than some people want to admit. Hell half of Europe is still an elections away from ending up with a far right candidate. Now that Trump has been president for a bit I wonder how much of that immediate reaction you saw with Germany will continue.

You’re still ignoring the core problem in that children can’t do any of those things by themselves anymore and all of them cost some amount of money with the exception of playgrounds and parks. Growing up the closest one to me was about a 30 minute drive so I would never be able to get myself there.

Do you realize how hostile the outside is to non-adults? Like genuinely I’ve seen people call the cops because there was a kid riding a bike unsuprivized in a suburban neighborhood. Malls are dying and there’s nothing to replace them as a meeting spot.

This isn’t even getting into the seeming requirement to spend what feels like 100$ to see a movie now or any of the other stereotypical hang outs. Or how many people have parents that simply do not have time to drive them places.

I’m genuinely interested in your response because I genuinely think the world has become actively hostile to kids being kids.

I knew it was somehow windows fault. We should obviously be running Debian.

God this made me remember my parents getting me an iPod touch and a 50$ gift card. I listened to an owl city album for days on repeat lmao.
