Millionaires are gaining again

How did he manage to say that with a straight face? “Mature” is literally the last thing this administration is. Except in age.

Oh wait he’s just thinking of his billions

He’s always been a great guy 👏 And an amazing engineer

They left those for the afterparty

Furries never hurt anyone. We don’t bite hard 🤭🦊

There are about two hundred countries in the world. If they want to stop a pandemic that might be starting, they can probably do so.

Obviously they will try. Ebola is a terrible disease.

However it’s a lot harder to do in countries where running water is a luxury. Where hospitals might not even have clean sheets. And where you can’t just lock a whole city down and pay for it with another trillion of national debt.

Trump and his voters don’t care because it’s all ‘brown people countries’ to them.

They somehow don’t realise that diseases don’t know borders. Their contributions to programs like USAID and the WHO aren’t just charity. They made the world safer including for Americans.

Sooner or later some shit will get loose and I doubt they’ll even realise it then. They’ll just blame someone else like they blamed China last time.

It kinda does when streaming remotely, if you don’t have any open ports it gets routed through Plex’s servers

It’s not literally a VPN no but it does route data

The EU shouldn’t because most of those streaming services are American. So it’s only good for us if people pirate. It offsets some of the tariffs Trump has levied.

And it’s those services’ own fault. They offered a decent value for money for years. Now they keep wanting more and more. Rising fees, content disappearing to other platforms but still asking for more money. Adding ads and then asking for money to remove them. Eventually people are sick of it and go like 🖕

Massive price hike causes massive customer hike to Jellyfin lol

There is a fear in your generation that the future has already been written, that the machines are coming, that the jobs are evaporating, that the climate is breaking, that politics are fractured, and that you are inheriting a mess that you did not create.

This is true, it’s not just AI. The world is kinda screwed right now. It feels like it’s much more so than in the 80s when nuclear war was looming and we were poorer.

Schmidt is saying the above statement so that he can then break it down and weaken it but he is one of the major causes of the world’s problems right now. Even the broken politics is caused by social media.

He acknowledged that their fears were “rational” and encouraged them to adapt and to shape how AI will be used in the future – rather than for that to shape them.

I do think AI will displace jobs and I doubt most of them will actually be replaced with different jobs. There’s just going to be too much displacement too quickly. And that will make people very angry. Rightly so. Companies don’t really exist to make rich people even more money. They exist to enable our lives and society. If they no longer do there’s no more reason for them to exist.

Eh wait. Copilot (any of the about 30 products with copilot in the name) is not a model. Microsoft makes a few models like phi but they’re underwhelming. All of copilot runs on models from external parties like openai and anthropic. So basically Microsoft is at the mercy of their own competitors. They’re in the awkward position that providing training data to their model providers not only improves their own product but their competitors’ as well.

Additionally, Microsoft’s most profitable market is enterprise and they would absolutely shiver at their data being used for training and would abandon the service in droves.

Despite being “all in on AI” Microsoft is in a really vulnerable position. Their added value is their integration with their other services (and data therein through RAG).

It’s weird because copilot in office tries to push agents on you as if it were a Jehovah’s witness.

So GitHub copilot doesn’t have them? I don’t really use that.

It was a joke 🤭

If you’re on Linux, just copy (or dd) /dev/zero to it for a few seconds to wipe the partition table.

I’m sure Taiwan is not stupid enough to give up their one big leverage. Many countries still have sane leaders.

The UK is US-lite these days, and probably going to be worse once reform come to power :(

They’re probing our defences before the big strike

I have no gods to pray to but anyway good luck with that

Amutable which is heavily into remote attestation, one of the underlying principles of these Draconian legislations.
