even the top phds can learn things off the amount of books that openai could easily purchase, assuming they can convince a judge that if the works aren’t pirated the “learning” is fair use. however, they’re all pirating and then regurgitating the works which wouldn’t really be legal even if a human did it.

also, they can’t really say how they need fair use and open standards and shit and in the next breathe be begging trump to ban chinese models. the cool thing about allowing china to have global influence is that they will start to respect IP more… or the US can just copy their shit until they do.

imo that would have been the play against tik tok etc. just straight up we will not protect the IP of your company (as in technical IP not logo, etc.) until you do the same. even if it never happens, we could at least have a direct tik tok knock off and it could “compete” for american eyes rather than some blanket ban bullshit.

Because Biden and Harris shouldn’t even have been the candidates in 2020…

I wouldn’t even vote for Gavin and it’s not the trans shit he just did it’s that he stands for nothing and is just playing hang out with fascists. I’d rather trump tbh

Patiently awaiting Congress to ban any Chinese robot vacuums out of national security risk

Not to mention a lot of companies are seeing search as a dead end product…

The problem with Mozilla is that their route back to greatness would require consolidation that cannot and will not happen due to lack of trust and diverging goals.

Mozilla + Proton + maybe a third party like Kagi for search (though it is api based) as separate but federated organizations is the only rational option for them ever reclaiming what Firefox used to be.

It feels like the world is too far gone for this to ever happen. Cynicism, pervasive internet and surveillance culture, and apathy just don’t make the world feel like it could go any direction people want anymore. Feels like we know the track for this and any new corporation in tech and the uber etc were the last of the unicorns where we actually bought into tech improving our lives.

I realized that as long as you are for state sponsored violence it is totally okay on Reddit. You can say I hope Russia stomps Ukraine’s out of existence but you cannot support violence by a non state actor.

Yeah I mean I got permad back in the day for saying that omicron was transmitting even among vaccinated people (like 2 weeks before that was general knowledge on the news and stuff and “accepted” information) so I get that they just censor along with whatever the current government wants but damn. I’ll take political shitpost cesspit all day over everyone banned for everything censored platform

I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.

As opposed to the teslas with the back doors for the us government… but will be moot when Canada is part of the states anyway

Luigi didn’t shoot a ceo.

Hopefully someone eventually leaks how much Reddit is manipulated by bots. Politics being a major sub where it’s obvious.

I stumbled upon nulled and it was the sketchiest forum I had ever seen. I noped out so quick. I didn’t even realize it was a “major” thing.

At least he said “if they want to” for psychiatric drugs

Base privacy rules of federation. The main difference in sign ups seems to be privacy policy. Or some filter on sign up that isn’t choose an instance but a filter that “finds you an instance.”

“Do you want to provide an email address?”

“Do you want x, y, z?”

Filter down to a single instance or if multiple just randomize what instance you toss them to. Just don’t make it a decision. When they are finished signing up send them a note that’s says “you can always change instances by going to _____ link or something to make account or change instances ____”

It’s really not complex but it’s the “feel” of complexity. For instance I froze a bit because some instances had no privacy policy, some said oh yeah we spy on you, some said no email needed just sign up… just get rid of that deer in the headlights moment, or standard privacy rules for federation in the “main” group.

people on the left and right can agree on one thing and it’s generally that democrats are full of shit. When they do the camps, the left should toss the Dems under the bus before they get tossed under the bus themselves.

Actually least bad outcome for Ukraine of any Trump plan I could actually see happening

Kagi has a fediverse search I think

There is a tampermonkey script if you google it. It will add the cookie required to bypass like you’re logged in but without you being logged in. If you hit the page it adds the cookie and refreshes. Could probably be made into a pretty self contained extension too

Then when they get blown out next election they’ll think it means they need to slide to the right some more…
