Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
It’s an interesting idea to have an AI psychiatrist or AI confessional where you can talk to it about anything at all in an air-gapped environment and then at the end you can push a button that completely wipes every trace of the conversation that’s outside of your own mind. Could be beneficial.
No, I’m suggesting that you’re not very knowledgeable about socialism.
There’s that nebulous “they” again. And now childish ad hominems too, and a demand that I “don’t reply.” I get the impression that continuing to discuss would be pretty pointless, yeah.
In a socialist system the “wealthy cunts” are not in charge. If they are then the label “socialist” isn’t really correct any more.
Though in some circles the label “socialist” actually corresponds to “a political structure or philosophy that changes based on context but always means whatever I don’t like”, in which case I guess go ahead and use it. I find this definition to be somewhat less useful, however.
“Them” is different in the two cases. In this case it’s to benefit a few oligarchs. In the case of socialism it’s to benefit the general public.
A mass migration won’t happen until they actually do something tangible to drive it. And it’ll have to be something pretty big, look at how services like Reddit continue to maintain their user base because for most people it’s still working fine.
That’s what the copyright cartels want you to believe, sure.
It’s not the case. Rooting for it to become the case is repellent.
And so, exactly as I predicted, we’ve got commenters coming out to defend the poor innocent copyright cartels against those awful people pirating their stuff. Violating sacred EULAs, even, what monsters.
This isn’t a question of “walking it back”, though. There was never anything in copyright law that prohibited analyzing a copyrighted work before. This is an attempt to extend it.
A while back I saw a thread in a piracy community that was cheering some other lawsuit against an AI company for similar reasons, so I wouldn’t bet. The anti-AI sentiment is quite strong in these parts.
And now watch everyone cheer for Sony and Warner to succeed in their lawsuits to extend the grip of copyright. What a timeline.
It’s certainly a great shibboleth for quickly detecting complete idiots.
It’s because these products work. They actually provide value to the users, despite opponents’ insistence to the contrary.
A particularly schadenfreudic incident of face-eating.
When you say “we all know”, who are you talking about? Everybody that you know? That’s a social bubble, a self-selected subset of “everybody.”
“Horrible” is in the eye of the beholder, and people have differing opinions on stuff. You probably like and subscribe to someone that lots of other people would consider “horrible” in turn.
If they’re being used to “chase people down” I don’t think acceptance by the general public is all that relevant.
I download everything, I just may not ultimately keep it long-term if it turns out to be uninteresting or bad. Streaming and downloading transfer the same amount of bits, one just has higher demands for timeliness.
Never. There’s absolutely no need to use humanoid robots for that, other form factors would be much more efficient.
“The Military/Ballroom Complex” is a phrase that time-traveler me from 2023 is going to be a little baffled by.
It actually already does work that way, there are plenty of local models you can run on an ordinary offline computer. I use them myself, I just finished having one do a big analysis of my old email archives to ensure the headers were well formatted and nothing was corrupted and since it was personal mail I didn’t want any of it leaving my computer.
