I mean, if these guys are willing to do morally reprehensible stuff like this, then it should just be expected that they would do the same kind of thing for whatever new products they develop.

What teen is using Facebook?

Have you seen PeerTube? It’s a good attempt, but even with the P2P-style sharing, they are experiencing 100x the problems that Lemmy has here because of the sheer amount of bandwidth and storage they have to deal with from a tiny micro-fraction of a percentage of the content that YouTube or OnlyFans serves.

Right now, large corporations are the only ones with the resources to even attempt such a thing, unfortunately.

Video streaming is not cheap. Petabytes and petabytes of data transferred, stored, streaming, networked, etc., etc. YouTube is already barely profitable and only from pissing off their audience and streamers.

A comparison to Patreon isn’t fair at all because they have almost no infrastructure to speak of. What do they actually do? Host a web site with some forum software on it? Handle subscriptions and emails, with a light bit of payment handling? Really?

The engineers that work there certainly aren’t going to stage a coup.

What engineers? Musk fired all of them when he first started.

Too bad FTC rules are useless, thanks to SCOTUS striking down the Chervon ruling.

Oh, they paid her legal fees? How nice!

Of course, that doesn’t fucking matter when she was put in prison for five years.

So tenacious that they’ll leak their sources and put them in prison.

Naaah, that would take effort.

The OSS movement was founded on a license. You can’t separate open source from its licenses. They are intrinsically linked.

That’s not how the license works.

US Citizen Patents A Way To Not Buy Ford Cars

Did they use this AI chip system to produce this article?

Well, another party that is willing to actually govern is welcome to stand up for itself and replace the GOP.

Until that happens, we have the GOP, a party that is ran by gaslighting, obstructionism, and projection, who’s real purpose has been laid bare for decades: To take our government, and “reduce it to the size where [they] can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub”. And the Democrats, a party that has its own flaws, but actually wants to enact laws and run the country.

One of these parties wants to actively destroy our government, and one of them doesn’t.

That requires a functional Congress, which is really only achieved by getting rid of the GOP disease in all three branches.

The power of those chips matters a great deal. If China is producing mostly chips supporting IoT devices, and its imports are computer chips of the Intel/AMD variety, it doesn’t have nearly as much impact as the title implies.

No. No, they can’t. This shit still takes lots and lots of training data.

It’s just like any job. You can’t just fully fake something in one day. At best, you might get 60% of the way there, maybe 80% after adding on some generic experience. But, you’re not going to fully mimic anything without lots of training and experience.

Internet Archive is also doing this with web pages, sooo…

Try again, 404 Journalism Not Found.

The article makes several claims and insinuations without backing them up so I find it hard to follow any of the reasoning.

“Article”. I’m going to call it what it is: a blog post that should have moderated away. If people here are going to post “tech news”, make sure it has actual journalism.

Postel’s law IMHO is a big mistake - it’s what gave us Internet Explorer and arbitrary unpredictable interpretation of HTML, leading to decades of browser incompatibility problems. But the law is not even applicable here. Unlike the Internet, we want the AI to appear to think for itself rather than being predictable.

It’s almost like Isaac Asimov wrote a famous book about robotic laws and a bunch of different short stories on how easy it was to circumvent them.
