patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism

The Patriot Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill.

I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It’s all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because “it’s not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc” but it doesn’t matter. It’s super useful and we’ve really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.

It’s a brand new, highly competitive technology and ChatGPT has first mover status with a trailer load of capital behind it. They are going to burn a lot of resources right now to innovate quickly and reduce latency etc If they reach a successful product-market-fit getting costs down will eventually be critical to it actually being a viable product. I imagine they will pipe this back into ChatGPT for some sort of AI-driven scaling solution for their infrastructure.

TL;DR - It’s kind of like how a car uses most of it’s resources going from 0-60 and then efficiencies kick-in at highway speeds.

Regardless I don’t think they will have to worry about being profitable for a while. With the competition heating up I don’t think there is any way they don’t secure another round of funding.

‘Lol’ Three simple characters. “FLOSS software? Ridiculous. So DUMB.” He says to himself. Finally a single tap and his snarky comment begins it’s instantaneous travail through countless GPL licensed unix systems to reach his victim - an ignorant commenter on an open-source, federated lemmy instance.

What we need to do is: Make it illegal to run a business

Twitter doesn’t owe anyone anything. Kamala could go post anywhere else but she’s not even though the left hates Elon.

The idea that we should pass laws to force twitter to show certain info and expose endpoints to support third party apps is ridiculous. It’s their data and they aren’t putting a gun to anyone’s head.

Passing a law forcing the government to use only FLOSS software for day-to-day activities solves this problem, actually makes sense on a principle level and isn’t a ridiculous overreach of power.

I’m more of a James May fan but they are all hilarious and Top Gear/Grand Tour is top-tier entertainment.

Norm has wise words on this topic

I have a media server that I use and if I’m going to watch something I think that’s the only way to go. With things being the way they are though I’m starting to think that we should just return to books. The “content” industry is just a gambit to extract money from people while turning their brains off.

Be honest. You were shitting on conservatives not agreeing with me.

That doesn’t surprise me. The left and right paradigm flattens a ton of complexity into a boolean spectrum when the reality is far more complex than that.

Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.

Literally lolled at this. This post is in response to a “far right” Elon Musk who owns the first company to ever fire a rocket into space, retrieve and reuse it. I’m sure he’s just taking credit for all the bleeding heart liberal geniuses working under him.

Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life?

🥱 Wow way to load your rebuttal to make yourself seem so erudite and above it all. The reality is that a ton of the “new info” turns out to be proven false or even to be outright lies. The reality is that you should be incredibly suspicious of “new info” because chances are it hasn’t been properly vetted and could be driven by an agenda similar to how companies fund research to prove their desired conclusions.

you’re massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don’t have the energy

I understand that politics is multi-faceted however the chart I responded to is 2D.

maybe we should give this whole “having black people freely move around” a second thought, what do you think?

Because that’s what I’m saying 🙄 Calling someone a racist or a nazi for not hating all of human history is a low-tier cop out but go ahead and take your upvotes.

liberals are not and have never been left wing

Remember I responded to a meme chart

Also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right

Literally just an opinion.

Thanks for proving my point

This is true though. 1992 Bill Clinton would be a republican today. Biden supported a 1994 crime bill that is considered racist today. Obama didn’t support gay marriage in 2008. Now liberals are fighting for sex change treatments for children. People 30 years ago would consider such an idea a grotesque absurdity.

I want to get into Stellaris but everytime I start I realize I’ll have to play 1000 hours before I understand the basics and close the game.

To be clear I wouldn’t give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.

Yeah but Newpipe works.

it just freeloads

I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I’m not worried about it.

YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won’t though because they want control and data as well.
