I’d settle for reasonable ports

Data preservationists are beating back the coming dark age. They’re heroes.

It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn’t solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US

“the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

I played it back when it was free before Monster Hunter Worlds came out, and it was great then!

That just doesn’t exist. Probably the biggest obstacle to large-scale fediverse adoption at the moment is just that it requires a little more effort to sign up. Lots of people get turned off by picking an instance

Every game borrows from other games’ ideas and mechanics

It’s not only games, this is just straight-up how art works. Culture develops over time. Of course capitalism had to get a middleman in there lol

Yes, a pleb that clicked a link that brought the org to an expensive screeching halt for weeks, would have been fired

Here’s an article from the IEEE about the issues with AI energy consumption. This article specifies that they’re discussing the requirements of LLMs and new generative AI. The article we’re commenting under wasn’t that cut and dry about it, but a basic understanding of the context of the world should be all a reasonable person needs to figure that out

If you want to talk about machine learning in general, that’s a different conversation. Like it or not, colloquially, AI is LLMs and chatbots

If the next new industry is an energy hungry propaganda machine, yes I will

One industry? People are so mad at AI because it’s just another industry, a new one with massive environmental impact, and basically no real use outside of generating misinformation and stealing from artists. It’s the absolute worst face of the tech sector, and totally deserving of all the hate it receives.

I’ll take both

FOSS projects aren’t aiming to sell a product though

This is what AI should actually be used for. Strengthen the algorithms that identify it to reduce the load humans need to review, and it should hopefully be more manageable

Ah, the Musk approach to dev

When there’s nothing else to do, people drink. I went to college at the top of Michigan’s upper peninsula, and there was a running joke at my school, that there were only two ways out: You either drop out, or you graduate an alcoholic

That’s the skimping on janitorial wages special

Don’t underestimate the power of executives to make really dumb choices. My company decided we’d create our own ticketing system this year, and now my Firefox tab consumes multiple gigabytes of ram…

The university I went to told us not to bother with unpaid internships, because it’s just a sign the company doesn’t care about you. Paid internships pretty much always still give college credit.
