When techbros said “you can type a question and the AI will answer”, they seem to have forgotten that we expect the answers to be true and accurate.
And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.

Not necessarily. Corporate money has a hidden contract. Mainly, you will develop what we tell you to develop and you will stall what we tell you to stall.
Google money is ad money. It’s DRM money, it’s private silo money, not general development money.
If you believe corporations drive all good development in the world, look at how many projects have been bought and killed by Microsoft.
In fact, why would Firefox accept money from one of its competitors? That’s SUPER fucked up.
Just think about the anti features that Google mmay want Firefox to implement: Unlockable ads, third party cookies, user tracking, and so on.
Is tha the development we want?
I say, let’s open fundraisers and keep Firefox free of corporate influence.
It’s a threat to the Mozilla CORPORATION, not the Mozilla Foundation nor the browser.
Nothing to be really scared about. Move along.
My colleagues and I have developed an artificial intelligence system that helps buildings shift their energy use to times when the electric grid is cleaner.
Meanwhile, AI systems are getting trained while using the equivalent of several countries’ use of electricity.
What a bullshit article. The headline itself is so deceptive it makes my blood boil. Now everyone will think AI is a net positive for reducing power usage while it’s all the contrary.
How on Earth is genocide moral?!?!
“Edit: I had no idea… I thought it was the norm”
Thanks for confirming the article 😁
By any chance, were the clamps filled with styrofoam or something? 😁 (Tofu-dreg joke)
At this point, I’d like to ask: If a foreign company threatens democracy in a country, is it legal for the executive to ban business with that company?
No? Then that doesn’t make sense. It’s a FOREIGN company, the government should have the right to do whatever it needs to protect its citizens in that regard.
says CEO
Since when do CEOs do things because they’re actually useful and not because they want to cut costs at the expense of the workers and even the public?
In this case I think the bullshit wasn’t his, but his parents’.
Rich people never stop telling their kids that the poor are poor out of their own fault.
This guy did a great sacrifice trying to show the world proof of his beliefs, and learned valuable lessons in the process while unlearning the bullshit he was taught.
If I ever had to choose a rich person to become a politician, I’d pick this guy. After all, he now knows what being poor really means.
Oh no, I know where this story leads…
Thanks for the info.
Okay you’re being a bigot. You know why? Because people aren’t demanding to be called “your highness”. They are just asking to be called with their preferred probouns. Putting neo pronouns aside, it’s not a heavy burden to be called he / she / it / they.
And this is the internet! The are no bodies, only usernames. Why do you care if a person claiming to be a girl demands to be called a she? Oh my fucking god,what a scandal! The oppression imposed upon you, a free citizen, demanding that you have to use a pronoun different than “he” on the internet! The world is doomed! 😱 /s
What you’re really asking for is the “right” to harass trans people (by misgendering them) because you don’t like them and abhor the idea of women having something extra down there. (it’s not like they’re plotting to force sex you, just leave them be, okay?) Not only that, you’re so obsessed with hating them that you went out of your way to post your biased opinion ON A LINUX FORUM.
You’re being a transphobic asshole, and the mods were perfectly right in banning you.
Just accept that there are different people in the world. If you have a problem with that, maybe it’s you who needs professional help.
Today:
I’m excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic.
Tomorrow:
We’re excited to announce that Automattic has been acquired by (Insert megacorp here).
Later:
Beeper personnel laid off; project discontinued
Just you wait.
The fact that we’re reading and commenting about it on Lemmy is satisfying, despite the sadness of the situation. It’s like watching the city burn after you moved away and saying “wow, I guess I really took the right choice by leaving.”
“Let’s treat our workers like slaves or else the entire economy will suffer” is a far worse take IMHO.
Establish a wage floor.
Establish a price cap.
If the corporation can’t make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.
By decreasing billionaire executive bonuses, of course. You realize apps like Uver give shitty pay to the drivers and keep most of the profits for the execs, don’t you?
Repeat after me: They are MIDDLEMEN.
Did the ordinance specify that the app companies would have to absorb the costs and NOT pass them to the users? No? Ah, well, that explains it then.
Intentional? Better use Negligent. It’s hard to prove intent; knowledge of something going on is much easier to prove.
