  • NaNoWriMo gets AI sponsor, says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’

    Jump

  • The headline is inaccurate; what's being referred to is this part of a statement from NaNoWriMo on the use of AI:

    We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege (source)

    That's plenty bad enough, no need to embellish it.

  • Although safety is certainly a legitimate issue, I can almost guarantee that car manufacturers will use that as an excuse to kill this form of competition -- yet another way in which capitalism is dooming our species to extinction.

  • Political discourse

  • This is an informative chart that definitely contributes to the discussion. Without any clue where it comes from, though, I have no way to gauge its credibility.

  • "The Newspaper of Record"

    Jump

  • For people asking what this is about, I didn't look at the NYT because of the paywall, but here's an article that's very similar in tone from NPR.

    Although they do state

    The dozen Harris statements lacking in context are far less in comparison to 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies that NPR found from Trump’s hour-long news conference Aug. 8.

    the following items are really nit-picky. It's laid out as a list of misleading statements, but reading the details of each makes me think "ok, so basically true, then".

    “Should art be regulated by the SEC?” NFT artists file lawsuit

  • It's kind of a shame that Jonathan Mann got wrapped up in all this NFT grift. Many of his songs are quite catchy, I recommend checking him out on YouTube if you haven't already.

  • Teen girl sues Detroit judge who detained her after she fell asleep in courtroom

  • ... and his past cases need to be reviewed. Is someone serving 10x the usual jail sentence for some infraction because of this judge? Probably.

  • The plan on the right was always to come up with a right-wing billionaire tech bro to buy it-- like Musk has done with X-- and turn it into an actual propaganda vehicle. Dems were fooled again.

  • No, no, no ... for this sort of story it's supposed to be Florida man.

  • Biden wants to free you from all those subscriptions you meant to cancel but didn’t

    Jump

  • This is great, but I want to see auto-renewal be something you have to opt in to when you sign up for a subscription service. It should never be the automatic default (as it always is everywhere now).

Our mother grows angry
Retribution will be swift
We squander her soil and suck out her sweet black blood to burn it
We turn money into God and salivate over opportunities to crumple and crinkle our souls for that paper, that gold

Money has spent us

  • Debian is a snail and its shell

    Jump

  • Debian unstable doesn't break all the time, tho. There's only been a handful of times in my 27 years of using it that something got truly borked.

    (That's not counting times when two packages have the same file and there's a conflict. That's trivial to resolve once you've seen it a few times. Even that is relatively rare.)

  • Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI

    Jump

  • I've found ChatGPT somewhat useful, but not amazingly so. The thing about ChatGPT is, I understand what the tool is, and our interactions are well defined. When I get a bullshit answer, I have the context to realize it's not working for me in this case and to go look elsewhere. When AI is built in to products in ways that you don't clearly understand what parts are AI and how your interactions are fed to it; that's absolutely and incurably horrible. You just have to reject the whole application; there is no other reasonable choice.
