Facebook probably isn’t the one to do it. But paid social media, if it worked like social media from 1999, would probably be worth a few bucks a month.

Glad they seem to be owning this and transparent about their plans to fix it. Mullvad seems to be outstanding and I’m not aware of any cases where they have been caught storing logs or revealing useful information for any subpoena.

Somehow that guy can make a call and raise a billion dollars or 10.

Traveled around the world a lot… The US isn’t anywhere near the best as you say. It’s also not the worst. It’s just heavily car oriented and fuck-everything-else oriented (except maybe air travel but… TSA).

I can say that living in a big city with mobile phone payments on every form of public transport, and a highly reliable on-time system that’s always clean and free of people you would worry about being alone with… Is a beautiful thing. And seriously reduces the friction for all kinds of things like…going to work. The countries like this usually don’t have much traffic and therefore deliveries and other legitimate uses of the road are frequently unobstructed. But on the other hand, these places can be extremely dense and the people live on top of each other.

When you say CEOs are you thinking of guys who are making millions with staff living on almost nothing?

The upside of Twitter’s downfall has been the absence of “look what so and so said in a tweet” headlines.

Dang. If I owned Tesla stock I would be a bit worried about this at the moment.

Seems pretty dicey to let an AI anywhere near your wallet.dat

As someone who’s been in immigration offices in other countries, it can indeed get considerably worse. I think it’s the first mandate of government offices worldwide: suck as much as possible

Unfortunately that is almost certainly detectable too

Do you feel like AI and its current form is ever going to go away?

To me it seems like we’re well beyond the point of it going away ever. It may never live up to the hype of replacing all the jobs.

We also know that AI companies are footing a large chunk of the bill. Someday those prices are going to crank up and a bunch of work we shovel over to AI will go back to humans.

Heck, it may have peaked already - we may not have any more killer uses to discover. Or maybe we do, and that’s partly why I’m here - I’m pretty interested to see if some interesting uses cases emerge. Some really tough or annoying problem that we all hate to do that AI can start actually doing really good work at.

AI is the buzz at the moment and is driving investment. From the perspective of the business of selling tech it matters most.

But that’s largely because companies involved in tech are trying to find use cases for AI that can move the needle, as is the case for many new technologies in search of a problem to solve.

If the starting position is “fuckai” or “fuckwork”, or “fuckzuck”, well I guess thats awesome but doesn’t really seem like a conversation about tech or how it may eventually solve problems or change the world.

Is this the technology forum or fuckai/fuckwork/fuck meta forum.

Jesus H Christ

I understand those are popular positions for the average Lemmy user but the negativity is really off-putting

Two companies that are desperate for disruption. It’s like one drowning person swimming over to another drowning person to rescue.

Is there any insider info on the micro transactions we’re gonna see in GTA6 online?

The shark cards thing was a freaking racket for Rockstar so there’s no way we don’t see that again.

At certain points it was not fun to play online if you didn’t have certain assets because you’d get spawn raped over and over by punks who obviously had too much grinding time or too much cash to burn.

I’d have no problem dropping $80 if that was under control and I could expect a fun balanced experience even if I can play just a couple times a week.

If it’s going to be pay to win, better make it a free client with an unlockable story mode or something.

When you’re borrowing money to service the debt, things can get spicy

A default judgement just gives Spotify some leverage to try to collect money, property, and get injunctions. But as we know from the pirate bay cases, that’s a losing whack-a-mole battle long term.

But it does make life a bit harder for Anna’s archive unless they show up to fight back, which they probably won’t.

ICE engines use a bunch of physical space for accessory components related to the engine. Li-ion powered e-cars reclaimed a ton of that space (i.e. Tesla has a frunk)

Perhaps next using a bit more space for a less dense sodium battery in exchange for a vehicle that is 0% explodable is a worthy trade (if claims are true).

I suppose many of the perpetrators who were there are still alive today. I wonder if they sleep soundly in bed at night.

Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it’s happening and that’s one of the first problems to solve.
