I hear you and I'd prioritize paying the employees a decent wage and putting money back into the platform. But one avenue of that could be paying mods. Not enough to warrant bribery. But more like a small amount to make it a decent side hustle or for someone to do it part time. But there's a lot of complications with that, admittedly.

I agree. But also the content and quality of their work would likely be better if they were paid. Probably a much better value to Reddit than Spez having a yacht. Or Spez

If you're talking about the problem of someone acting like they get to decide who is allowed and what happens on the platform, I agree in principle, but that's why the fediverse exists.

Yeah, I love the idea of the fediverse because it creates a democratized community where anybody can choose to listen to who they want. Unfortunately this attracts very clicky users that feel like they own the fediverse and want to push others out. I've seen it a couple times already with people clambering to defederate other instances they don't like. Thankfully we can just choose to not listen to them, lol.

I don't like Facebook and I understand the concerns that Facebook will sort of take over the fediverse from the inside like a parasite. But at the end of the day you can just spin up a vanilla instance and connect with anyone willing to do the same. That's what's great about the fediverse.

Idk in Florida at least 20% of the year you'll get heat stroke just walking up outside stairs.

How do you expect people will create AI if it can't do the things we do, when "doing the things we do" is the whole point?

Yes. Your last sentence is my point exactly. LLMs haven't replicated everything about the human brain. But the hype is here because it cracks one of our brains key features: How it learns. Your brain isn't magic. It just records training data until it has enough to mash it together into different things.

A child doesn't respect copyright, they'll draw a picture of Mario. You probably would too If I asked you to. Respecting copyright is something we learn to do in specific situations. This is called "coming up with an original idea". But that's bullshit. There are no original ideas.

If you come up with a product that's a cold brew cup that refrigerates its contents, I'd say that's a very original idea. But you didn't come up with refrigeration, you didn't come up with cups, or cold brew, or the idea of putting technology in a cup, or the concept of a product you sell to people. Name one thing about this idea that you didn't learn somewhere else? You can't. Because that's not how people work. A very real part of business, that you will learn as you put your new cup to market, is skirting around copyright. Somebody out there with a heated cup might come after you for example.

This is a difficult thing to learn the precise line on. Mostly because it can't work as a concrete rule. AI still has to be used, tested, and developed to learn the nuances here. And it will. But what baffles me is how my example above outlines how every process of invention has worked since the beginning of humanity. But if an LLM does it, people say, "That's not a real idea. It just took a bunch of stuff it's learned and mashed it together." But I hear, "My brain is 🪄magic✨ I'm special."

This is what people fundamentally don't understand about intelligence, artificial or otherwise. People feel like their intelligence is 100% "theirs". While I certainly would advocate that a person owns their intelligence, It didn't spawn from nothing.

You're standing on the shoulders of everyone that came before you. You take a prehistoric man or an alien that hasn't had any of the same experiences you've had, they won't be able to function in this world. It's not because they are any dumber than you. It's because you absorbed the hive mind of the society you live in. Everyone's racing to slap their brand on stuff to copyright it to get ahead and carve out their space.

"No you can't tell that story, It's mine." "That art is so derivative."

But copyright was only meant to protect something for a short period in order to monetize it; to adapt the value of knowledge for our capital market. Our world can't grow if all knowledge is owned forever and isn't able to be used when even THINKING about new ideas.

ANY VERSION OF INTELLIGENCE YOU WOULD WANT TO INTERACT WITH MUST CONSUME OUR KNOWLEDGE AND PRODUCE TRANSFORMATIONS OF IT.

That's all you do.

Imagine how useless someone would be who'd never interacted with anything copyrighted, patented, or trademarked.

I was really on board until the last sentence basically perpetuated the same issue 😅 They think they're believing in their own excellence. Rather, admit your flaws and accept them because that's okay. Try your best to do better everyday.

I hear that 🫠

This sucks 😔 It was a great idea, but I admit there was really no clean way to execute it. That being said, I'd have loved it if MS managed one of their rare design wins and made it really seamless.

Yeah, the reality is that people will take any demographic, apply a stereotype, and act superior to that group based on the stereotype. People all across the world do it and it really has nothing to do with race or whatever demographic is in question. It's just people wanting to feel superior. If anything, I think places like America have come a long way in overcoming racism, but that's because we're so diverse that this behavior is rampant. So we're forced to address it and do so very regularly.

But there's a bunch of forms that this takes, overtly using hate speech, being fearful of a people, even complimenting someone but at the same time putting them in a box. Like "Hey, you people are really good at running" can mean "I admit you're good at that thing. But that's it. And if you're not, what good are you?"

Each culture has its own flavor and it can even be self-defeating. I hear South Americans talk shit about each other a lot, for example.

Small, good value, quiet, power efficient, built in battery backup and server terminal. Laptops are dope for home labs!

Lol I mean that it's easy to give them too much. Not that it's necessarily a whole avocado

I assume it is fat density. Imagine if a human ate an avocado the size of their head. That'd be way too much fat, saturated or not. Probably ok in very small slices. But you know, consult your vet.

I think what is more probable than a bunch of elementary kids stealing drugs, is that this guy isn't actually a predator and just a REALLY stupid dad tired of the girls keeping him up all night. Figured Klonopin in a small enough dose would be perfectly safe. But he's an idiot so he messed up the dose.

But more likely than all that is he's just a sick creep. But this is why we have due process.

Second the OnePlus 5! I moved to the OnePlus 10 Pro for security updates and it's great. Battery life is worse though, I hear the 12 isn't as bad in that respect. Still have the fastest charging on the market though!

I mean... to break into a keyless car you need special radio interception and replay equipment, the know how to implement them, to keep up on the latest security measures from car manufacturers, and car thief communities developing security counter measures.

Or get a coat hanger, watch a YouTube video, and get into any car you want.

Exactly, it's the people who know that are amazed by the subtle intricacies of AI and the implications of it. It's the people that don't know saying, "I asked it to write a horror story about a killer clown, and it ended up sounding like Stephen King. What a rip off machine."

And killing services like sending and receiving payments from friends and family. This is so frustrating, because I remember they made me switch FROM wallet to Google pay and now they're going back. Google, I'm all for not tying yourself to all your previous decisions, but at some point you've got to stand your ground on SOMETHING.
