If a certain group of people think that it should be their right to take others rights away and turn society into a dystopia for perceived security, then for the same reason it should be other individuals rights to assert that their rights should be protected by taking the first group's rights away to install or do whatever they think they can do for convenience/security's sake.

This includes "ancestry tests", security cameras with AI in them, upload IDs to "verify", and even social media where you are allowed to upload pictures with others in them.

And since we "supposedly" live in a democracy, we should be allowed to have a vote to decide on this, the group that wins is the majority, right? I don't understand why we're allowing our rights to erode before we have an informed election about this, in democracies.

It's time to ban every big player from contributing, it's clearly they're all malicious, this is just a way to force in AI code into open source.

This is so beautiful in a way, like going back in time and saving someone from dying, their words are now back into history.

In a way this is sort of like the reverse of a recently aired anime (Orb: on the movements of the Earth) which talk about the opposite, people whose contributions were erased and we'll never know about them.

It's so funny how LLMs, which trained on millions of books, stolen (and even if they weren't, which they were, pirated from online pirate sites like libg and annas, they didn't have consent for the VAST majority of them), and stolen code, and stolen comments, etc.

Now complain about their stuff getting "stolen"... lol.

Good luck getting me to use software that requires me to upload an id

13? there is no reason a minor should use a brain rotting technology like AI, in fact, AI for pretty much most teens is way WAY more damaging than even tiktok ever was.

Remember when Nvidia gave us HBM for the 1080 ti and then took it away because it was "too expensive for consumer products"? I remember.

I feel like the 1080 ti is like a prophet of the current crisis, these companies are buying $10k paperweights per user to MAYBE... LUCKILY... charge what... $200 a year? and that is for every 1/100 users.

this same 10k hardware will be outdated in a couple of years...

It just doesn't make financial sense, if you couldn't sell standalone GPUs that people PAID for with HBM in them, what makes you think that you can sell a POSSIBLE subscription utilizing a $10k+ GPU?

This is the most obvious bubble of all time.

It's more like astroturfing since forever, any mention of Americans doing disinformation instantly gets Russian bots brought up, like bro come on now.

Okay but logically kidney issues leading to high creatine does suggest that creatine is not all that good for the body, no? else why would the kidney keep it under control?

You know what is crazy, that this whole bullshit "MDC" garbage "API" that websites and stuff like Outlook have is stuff that they could have had by having SIMPLER settings in their services, they obfuscate them like hell then they give the "solution" simple API to agents so that THEY can easily use their services, but not humans.

It's so disgusting, I hate this industry.

CXMT is scaling up incredibly fast, they are on a clock (south koreans) their monopoly will end relatively soon, although I'm guessing that the AI companies will crash before that anyways.

Maybe because losing 700b so far is not "safe" for the economy?

Wouldn't surprise me if they're just paying math geniuses to do math research and attribute it to AI models.

Imagine buying hardware from Google, as if they haven't given enough reasons to distrust them.

First of all, yes I know about the elevator hence why I mentioned it, you know, first of all it's not that safe to be going down an elevator from what is basically a multiple stories high building while in space (#1) and (#2) why would you add complexity/failure points on purpose if your mission was being multiplanetary?

The spacecraft wasn't designed with humans in mind first.

And second:
