  • Our ancient legal system trying to lend itself to “protecting authors” is fucking absurd. AI is the future. Are we really going to let everyone take a shot suing these guys over this crap? Its a useful program and infrastructure for everyone.

    Holding technology back for antiquated copyright law is downright absurd.

    Edit: I want to add that I’m not suggesting copyright should be a free for all on your books or hard work, but rather that this is a computer program and a major breakthrough, and in the same way that if I read a book no one sues my brain for consumption I don’t think we should sue an AI: it is not reproducing books. In the same manner that many footnotes websites about books do not reproduce a book by summarizing their content. With the contingency that until Open AI does not have an event where their reputation has to be re-evaluated (IE this is subject to change if they start trying to reproduce books).






  • Mmm that’s not really realizing anything.

    You know what sort of tom fuckery I had to get into to get my gaming laptop working? I had to find a sketchy windows 10 LTS IOT ISO, run some registry hack then find and install all my drivers just because the regular working consumer edition of windows is such a bag of bloat…

    For hardware I paid for…! Next time I’m just going with system76 right out of the gate. I just kept reading reviews about things not working right or still being in development so I bought a mainstream laptop with a warranty.

    A lot of linuxy or FOSS sort of stuff is still buggy despite being better than it was ten years ago. No one talks about it. Purism phone, pine phone, Linux gaming, the steam deck, etc. They all have major flaws or sometimes breaks in functionality. Where mainstream has breaks 1/10 even the best Linux setup has breaks 1/5 of the time minimum. And that’s great but it still sucks that you have to look elsewhere because mainstream is a monetization sponge in all senses of the phrase.

    There’s a twitch streamer I watch and he often says that he feels like he can’t find information about Ukraine, then goes on to elaborate that there just isn’t many sources available to the US to find news without propaganda cooked in. It’s hard to know what to even trust in the first place.

    I feel strongly that applies to reading articles about China as well especially if they’re written in English.

    Thank you for taking the time to post and add in more links.

    I think both China and the US as well as many other countries have insane financial positions, for quite some time now. The housing market in the US really painted that clearly. As I understand it in 2014ish the US passed legislature allowing companies to legally do the same thing they did that causes the housing market collapse again. According to the movie the big short at least, and some googling with that.
