They are literally destroying books. No, the library is not still there: https://www.techspot.com/news/113277-ai-firms-quietly-buying-destroying-millions-printed-books.html
5·3 days agoThe same amount of money in fewer hands creates a choke-point that they can squeeze later.
1·3 days agoThe government will bail them out: “Too big to fail”
6·4 days agoI’ve been saying this for years. It’s been dumb to rely on the US for a loooong time, yet so much of the rest of the world does.
Imagine if they had spent all that money on building up and supporting FOSS instead.
It’s not so much that the political consultants don’t understand that. It’s more that they can’t do anything about it: That would mean changing our economic structure to help out the workers, rather than their rich friends.
3·5 days agoAh, that’s dumb. That whole area of the game had strong “Stop hitting yourself” vibes.
Ah yeah, I think that’s it. I was felt mad that I kept trying everything to avoid dropping phosphorous. They take away your agency, and force you to do a war crime. I’m guessing that later they call you out for being a bad person for doing that?
Can I ask why? That’s where I gave up, but I keep having trouble articulating why.
Life is Strange
The entire premise is that the protagonist can turn back time, and make different decisions.
Except for cut-scenes. As soon as a cut-scene hits, suddenly its “You aren’t able to rewind time right now”, with no narrative explanation. Like, I get that you didn’t want to program that part, but the entire premise is about rewinding time, to try different decisions. Now I’m stuck having made an arbitrary decision, because I thought I was going to be able to go back and pick differently.
I recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom
It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.
It’s a fun movie, but it’s only for a selective taste. It’s also has a lot of very problematic scenes.
31·7 days agoAlthough I agree with you…
That’s how the vast majority of software has been built for the past couple of decades. LLM’s aren’t different in that regard, just faster.
I do enjoy programming, but I prefer “getting stuff done”. While I enjoy programming, I’d rather just get it done and move on. I like the results of having programmed.
Productivity is my problem, because I build stuff for myself, not just for my boss.
1·7 days agoI literally posted articles explaining how he did the things you listed. I’m not sure how to make that any more clear.
(Also, I’m not a liberal.)
Then why are you supporting them, and fighting against people who are accurately pointing out that they are monsters?
You are free to view it that way, but it would be unreasonable to claim that is the only way to view it in light of the many differences I pointed out.
Yes, I am able to view it correctly. But it is not unreasonable, considering that you didn’t really highlight differences. You highlighted things that Biden also very much did, as evidenced above. From what I can see, the “many differences” means “he killed, tortured, raped, stole and genocided slightly less than Trump”.
…while not technically disproving any individual claim I made…
I love how libs constantly move the goalposts when presented with data.
You did provide several articles that, while not technically disproving any individual claim I made, make good points that the Biden admin is not entirely innocent on some of the topics related to the points I mentioned. Still, as I’ve probably said before, the difference in scale is important.
Yeah, it is important. While Trump is a 9/10 monster, Biden is only an 8/10 monster, who supports Trump, and helps him out with his projects.
Sure, heres a few of them. For future reference, there are these things called “Search engines” that let you find stuff that you don’t know about. You should try them out. But something tells me that you won’t do any research, and you likely won’t even look into these.

9·10 days agoNothing. Also, why do you keep changing the requirements? First it was “you can’t run Linux”, then it became “you can’t run a mainline kernel”.

All the higher mammals learn by playing, by doing, by interacting. And indeed, the higher the mammal, the more of its life it spends in play to prepare itself for adulthood. So you can see, this active role of the mind is fundamental to the way we think. It’s wired into our brains.
It’s a really great speech, and a lot of it is about the failures of our educational system.
