If the law were to be passed, surely Photon would be incentivized to make a self-hosting alternative, no? Something that uses the same API but is self-hosted.

Why is it reasonable to expect that? What mechanism makes politicians immune to disinfo?

It's embarassing? Awfully harsh!

Is that wrong? The US was doing that.

And the US never invaded anyone.

They explicitly train the models to say that they aren't sentient, so it makes sense it would say such a thing.

Is there any more detail about this besides the very fast slideshow?

New comment by suddenlybananas in "How turkey hacked the hair-transplant industry"

suddenlybananas — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:42:19 +0000

I don't see why I should follow the demands of an authoritarian president who encourages ethnic cleansing in the Caucasus and represses ethnic minorities in his own country. Especially when they won't do it for others.

I don't really see the relationship to your comment and the paper's content. Could you elaborate a little?

What games don't work? I've never had a game I wanted to play but couldn't due to being on Linux.

Let's say I insist that rocks are conscious and I ask you to disprove that. How would you go about doing that? It's a genuine question.

I assume that we both think rocks are not conscious, but I'm genuinely unsure of how one could prove this.

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekin Turkish doesn't seem to respect the wishes of the Chinese government with regard to Beijing.

suddenlybananas — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:10:56 +0000

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekin Turkish still uses the old term. Why should I change my language to suit them if they won't do it for others.

You and I both know that Turkey would never do such a thing.
