a nothing phrase that will most likely materialize as yet another expansion of copyright

Exactly. We need to break apart copyright with a crowbar. It's a broken system that only benefits the rich, and AI has the opportunity to turn the entire system into a pile of unenforceable garbage.

get sensible regulations about AI

There's no such thing as "sensible regulations" for AI. AI is a technological advantage. Any time you regulate that advantage, other groups that don't have those regulations will fuck you over. Even if you start talking about regulations, the corpos will take over and fuck you over with regulations that only hurt the little guy.

Hell, even without regulations, we're already seeing this on the open-source vs. capitalism front. Google admitted that it lost some advantages because of open-source AI tools, and now these fucking cunts are trying to hold on to their technology as close as possible. This is technology that needs to be free and open-source, and we're going to see a fierce battle with multi-billion-dollar capitalistic corporations clawing back whatever technological gains OSS acquired, until you're forced to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to use a goddamn chess bot.

GPLv3 is key here, and we need to force these fuckers into permanent copyleft licenses that they can't revoke. OpenAI is not open, StabilityAI is not the future, and Google is not your friend.

Yep, the problem was never LLMs, but billionaires and the rich. The problems have always been the rich for thousands of years, and yet they are immensely successful at deflecting their attacks to other groups for those thousands of years. They will claim it's Chinese immigrants, or blacks, or Mexicans, or gays, or trans people. Now LLMs and AI are the new boogieman.

We should be talking about UBI, not LLMs.

There is something to be said about subtlety in story-telling. When writers tell their message with a sledgehammer, it comes off as unrealistic.

1. Argue that it's not hot outside
2. Go outside in 120F weather
3. Die
4. Darwinism

The Amazon fleet is about 70,000 vehicles and they’re transitioning to electric right now.

They are not doing this because of the goodness of their heart. They are doing it because of $$$$. Gas costs more, so it's more economical to switch to electric.

Rest assured, if there are other places where it's more economical to strip mine the environment and increase the rate of climate change, they will switch to that cheaper method in a heartbeat, if they aren't already doing so.

everyone on the internet bar the tech nerds were pushing for Chrome

Even the tech nerds were pushing for Chrome. IE was the monolithic shitstain that cursed web developers with its anti-competitive behavior (see Netscape vs. Microsoft, for example). Firefox, for as awesome as it was to have an major open-source browser on the landscape, was a slow and bloated beast 15-20 years ago.

And then Chrome came along and touted their multi-threaded, isolated memory model. Some of us were angry that another OSS fork was fracturing development with Firefox, but Chrome was just the better option at the time.

Now? IE is dead and buried, replaced with a rarely used Edge. Chrome is now the slow-moving bloatware. And Firefox is the better, more optimized browser.

It's funny what happens in 20 years.

I wouldn't call this a super cheap game, but it is still one of the best games I've ever played.

Yep, great game. It's made by Suspicious Developments, the same guy that made Gunpoint.

You should keep an eye on Tactical Breach Wizards. The teaser video is, as always, very entertaining.

I do, too. You should post your commentary on the GitHub issue.

Adam Something has a lot of videos explaining how stupid his ideas are, including the whole plan to "go to Mars". They are all grifts.

Pffft... I can't even get a laptop battery to last that long.
