  • It's like watching a real-life version of Avengers, but one where Tony Stark says "hey, this Thanos guy is disrupting industries here!" and teams up with... Thiel and Musk to fund his quest for the Infinity Stones. You know, we can't let China get them first!

  • It's almost funny how all those AI doomsday scenarios are actually meant to prop up investment in AI.

    See how Amodei and Altman are usually the ones pushing these narratives on how worried they are by the incredible advancements of their respective companies' creatures. They are so, so worried about the demise of the human race and how fast it's coming.

    And I sort of understand them because whatever disruption they are peddling needs to happen very fast or they will all run out of money. But what does it tell about the rest of the human race that we are actually buying into it and pouring money into creating a dystopian future?

  • That's how ship cannons worked too, at the time. Powerful but heavy to move, slow to reload, not very accurate.... having more of them was the only way to have sustained firepower.

    But Leonardo also left a lot of these sketches that look less like actual projects and more like the superhero fantasies of an extremely gifted six years old. "And look, this shit has cannons... Cannons EVERYWHERE! Bam! Kapow!". I guess it's what happens when you're so great at drawing that even the doodles you do when bored look like masterpieces.

  • I was surprised to find that my distro (CachyOS) already has this alias

  • there IS a very simple explanation, but it doesn't help sell.... "how can we have our customers share the massive costs of all the computing power AI needs, while at the same time keeping access to all their yummy private data?"

  • I meant tokens as the units of text you pay for when you purchase a subscription to ChatGPT or one of the other AI models. Most AI companies offer you limited access for free to their most powerful models but you have to pay if you "speak too long" with the AI and exceed your quota of tokens.

    All those new data centers (like the one the arrested man was opposing) are meant to power these AI. companies. Not a great joke, but that's what I was alluding to.

  • He exceeded his quota of free tokens

  • Asking for dick pics on the internet. That's what courage looks like, soldiers!

  • "The White House called. Asked to release the UFO files!"

    "F##k.... again?? Smith, what do we have left?"

    "General McRuff just sent this picture of a massive cylindrical object that.... "

    "That's a dick pic, Smith"

  • Don't leave me hanging... is it me?

  • Yes, I've read. I hope it's one those "Al Capone arrested for Tax Evasion" things where they just went for the one that was easier to prove. I know very little about UK law, but I doubt he would have been arrested on those charges if he hadn't been already disgraced.

    But my joke was more on other rich, white, alleged pedophiles with ties to Epstein and the weird fact that people keep bringing those things up when the DOW is over 50000

  • A rich, white, pedophile! Arrested. Have they no respect? What will they do next... tax them?

  • You have already answered yourself

  • It would be really funny if this was Obama messing with Trump. "Why has nobody told ME! What else does Obama know that I don't?". I can easily imagine Trump being unnerved by this

  • Don't know what country you're from but local versions of "how the f## are people voting for this person" are popping up and getting increasingly popular in most democracies.

    The US being the US clearly have the bigliest, crassest piece of garbage of us all, but looks like we are all heading there. And I'm looking at whatever the US are going to do to reverse this trend because I need to see a glimpse of hope that this trend IS reversible and that I won't die in a nazi dictatorship after my grampa fought to rid us of the previous one.

  • thanks for the advice on checking archlinux.org. I'm still fresh and in the honeymoon stage of this and I'm sure I'll hit some snag at some point!

  • And I didn't mean to disagree with you. I'd be sheepishly part of that general population too if Microsoft hadn't actively tried so hard to annoy their users. Jumping ship to anything that is not "the default" that comes installed with your machine feels... refreshing after you've done it, but scary before.

  • CoMaps @sopuli.xyz

    is comaps data updated only when the app updates?

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    why are companies trying so hard to have employees back in the office?
