It’s what the courts think, and right now, it’s not clear what the enforceable laws are here. There’s a very real chance people who do this will end up in jail.

I believe prosecutors are already filling cases about this. The next year will decide the fate of these AI generator deepfakes and the memories behind them.

Mesh networks are severely limited in terms of mbps/throughput. They also use their own throughput channel to communicate and sync with each other, further reducing available bandwidth.

They also can introduce a lot of latency and packet loss if you’re into gaming that needs to be taken into consideration.

They have a purpose and a use, but if you want to get the benefits of modern internet speeds, you should set up a wired network and only use wireless protocols for small, difficult to wire, devices.

It’s depressing how right you probably are about how companies are going to cope with this.

Reminds me of that quote: “If Conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject Democracy.”

But, like, apply that to Capitalism and Capitalists rejecting Capitalism in favor of Socialism for them.

Oh, 100 percent right you are. Definitely not saying clueless corporate idiot bosses aren’t going to try and replace their workforce with AI.

But I am saying that it won’t work for them after they do that. They’re going to crash and burn here, and have lost that talent and expertise within their company so there’s no replacing it, except slowly over time.

We’re a long way out from that fortunately.

Not saying that some jobs won’t be cut/lost, but the companies doing that were likely looking for reasons to downsize.

AI models do not replace competent UI/UX. That’s just not what they’re designed to do. Very different functions.

Yeah, honestly, PIPs are dogshit in most cases. I’m for removing them as a barrier to prevent firing.

If you’re going on a PIP, you’re going to end up fired anyhow.

uBO filters won’t work the way they used to because Chrome’s v3 manifest will explicitly prevent them from working the way they have been.

Yeah, admittedly, those two things are annoying.

I haven’t personally experienced the adblocker thing though, I suspect it’s not intentional, but I’m purely speculating there.

The censoring thing I have run into, and it is very irritating, so I’m with you on that.

As others have replied, the MS thing is about them having a Plan B in case the board didn’t reinstate him.

One way or another he’s working for Microsoft here at the end of the day, Microsoft is just making sure they keep him gainfully employed within their control. Their move to hire him was covering their bases.

If the board were to reinstate him, like it has, then MS can rescind their offer and allow him to join the Open AI CEO position again.

Either way, MS didn’t want to lose Sam is all this says.

TL;DR; The board basically caved to the demands of the 500+ employees that penned and signed a letter telling them to reinstate Sam Altman and disband the current board.

In addition to reinstating him, most of the board is “quitting”.

In this case, the employees won out.

Their account deletion policy aside, Crunchyroll is like one of the last remaining bastions of solid streaming for a very reasonable price that hasn’t increased in many years.

There’s plenty of streaming services to cancel and switch to piracy on legitimately, I don’t personally believe Crunchyroll to be one of them.

That is not that much in this industry.

I’ve got roughly 25 years in the software development industry and depending on what talent market you’re working in, that 400k may not even be enough for one engineer or architects salary.

Rome didn't fall in a day. Or a year.

Takes a lot longer than most people think.

If nothing else, this shows just how well architected and built the original Twitter infrastructure was. Being able to withstand the chaos monkey that is Musk should be its own SLA tier.

Facial recognition does not need to use infrared in any way to work. Source: have trained many models

The sock gap.

Gotta be: Fluffer.

“It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us – but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.” — Carl Sagan

This one has been my go to for years and years.

It gives me comfort. In that we probably won’t every get there, because of our evolutionary failures as a species, but that’s ok. Because the next species or evolution of our kind will stand a better chance.

This is the one that’s stuck with me as well.

We’ll start a new ancient Egypt, with hookers and booze.

Absolutely terrifying read.
