I wonder what the odds are on a government bailout.
loved this, had the logo on a shirt for years that got transformed into a throw pillow cover… wonder when my wife succeeded in throwing it away without me noticing…hmmm

Hey, you thoughtless piece of shit! How’s he going to afford his next private plane if you don’t sign up? You’re so fucking selfish!
Copyright wars? I’m out of the loop
I had to look it up.

The rise of file sharing, it was a big deal at the time (and the cause of our family PC having about 1000 different types of adware). I didn’t realise it had a name. I’ve never seen that logo though.
Similarly to how Trump seems like he’s maybe (hopefully) overplaying his hand with the speed and brazenness of his authoritarian overreaches, AI companies simply tried to deskill people too quickly to addict them enough to the “the resemblance of skills on an expensive cloud” machine that is AI.
If they had–like they did with other “platforms”–really addicted the users with something they couldn’t get elsewhere for free, allowed them to get comfortable enough to be deskilled, and then done the rug pull they might not be whining right now.
I think the reason this was different is that the models are just inefficient and resource hungry as shit, and the cost of addicting the users by giving it away for free is just too high.
That’s where the whining comes in. Come on guys…get addicted!
Could I ask for explanation?
For which part? It’s pretty much all there.
Was that poster about wanting to destroy the entire internet or just something like Napster?
Napster.
Nothing, sorry, already looked it out! Cool design tho
I don’t get it.
Old quote, same tension between innovation and public trust.
