I guess they got too much heat for all the conspiracy theories in the game...

Yeah I'm not sure how Anthropic is going to IPO at this rate...

Does this actually prevent this behavior? Does writing a hit piece somehow magically disable ai slop in the debian inbox or do certain contributors just enjoy going on an ego trip?

I personally think its pretty nasty how they treated this single developer, they could just reject him instead of writing a long hit piece on him.

It's well known that AI companies shamelessly steal whatever to drum up hype for their company. From their perspective you the problem for trying to stop their hype train.

If a company had a model that could cure cancer they would be incentivized to release the cure ASAP before they get decapitation striked by regulators and other AI "safetyists".

We are literally in the golden age of privacy with AI generated private apps, so I wouldn't worry too much about this.

I'm skeptical this is a cost effective for low volume prototyping which is where the speed of made in America matters.

I'm not the expert but Gemini doesn't say anything exists besides the Voltera V-One (which obviously doesn't work for complex PCBs). I am imagining something like a PCB microfactory the size of a container (or even smaller) that completely handles PCB etch and drill, solder paste application, PnP, baking, and testing.

You guys should really be making an end to end PCB machine, sourcing the parts and part inventory for custom PCBs really should be the responsibility of the end user.

We both know systems are more complex than # of downloads. In this case, the ban was a sign of weakness the establishment of the government and Github and definitely their control was weakened, which is the opposite of their goal of maintaining control, so it did not have the desired effect.

Well banning it pushed it to Radicle and now people are moving to GitHub alternatives so I think the Streisand effect worked.

I'm reading the code for this and I'm like yeah it doesn't scale. Like forget about debugging this code, does anybody even know what it is doing?

This is how you end up with gstack. When you believe too hard in secret metrics because when people know about metrics it stops working you inflict psychosis chasing correlations that don't mean anything.

People said AI was going to replace all programmers, yet AI can't even maintain a x64 macOS port of Java.

There are alot of scripts out there that attempt to disable Windows Updater and Windows Defender (this is protected by Windows Updater so you have to turn off Windows Updater first). However a little known service called WaasMedicSvc will turn this back on. This is the first script that disables WaasMedicSvc before disabling Windows Updater and Windows Defender, finally permanently disabling Windows Updater and Windows Defender.
