Which is probably a good thing. I appreciate projects like Thunderbird as well.

You can not push the button that says AI.

You can also hit the kill switch that completely removes that button.

That’s opt-in enough.

If it starts reading pages or doing things without you pushing a button, that’s an issue.

It’s been a hundred years and we’re still making WWII movies. You think living through it is going to be any less worthy of attention?

Yeah, nuance exists. Weird, I know.

I wouldn’t go that far. I expect it was more allowed to happen and got out of hand, ended up worse than they expected.

But I don’t think they planned or participated in the attack.

But bubba was most likely in that back room with the blow.

He didn’t, actually. The lawyers very clearly defined in that court “sexual relations” as P in V. Clinton, being a lawyer, saw the ability to drop that line, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” as a legal win. And it was.

The prosecution wasn’t trying to win in that court. They were trying to destroy his PR.

The corp doesn’t get the tax break either way.

You only get it if you claim it (in the US), of course. Nobody is tracking that for you.

The corporation does not get a tax break.

They get the PR, and they get some leverage over the org they’re donating to. But, you know, the leverage is that they stop collecting money to the org, so if you refuse to give in the first place then…

It’s better to give to the charities of your choice without needing some other corp to effectively advertise and collect for them, but that seems unlikely. It probably is helpful that someone is out there advertising. It may be worth making that deal with the corp.

Didn’t that guy end up dead in prison?

How do I put this.

AI isn’t exactly the cause of the rise in the price of hardware. Only 1/6th of the purchased Nvidia cards are actually in data centers. Same for the memory.

We’re not using it.

What’s really drumming up all the prices is that the billionaires are convinced that AI is going to replace tons and tons of people. It’s not. It’s the insane corporate hype that’s doing all the damage.

It will replace some, sure. The same way the electric drill replaced carpenters. One electric drill does not replace one carpenter. That’s not how that works. Instead the carpenters can work a bit faster and their job is a bit easier. It’s worth buying and it’s worth using, but it doesn’t really replace a person. Accountants didn’t disappear as a profession when spreadsheets were invented.

There were books written in the 1980s about how household appliances raised the standard of cleanliness. Turns out people change clothes more when cleaning clothes doesn’t involve a washing board. And I don’t think Roombas replaced that many jobs either.

In particular, I think this is a thing that will happen for software development. I don’t think it’ll reduce the number of developers we need. I think the standards for development will just be higher. All the front end stuff in particular is going to get easier, and you won’t need as many frameworks. We’ll especially need just as many devs, if not more, in the short term. Someone’s going to have to fix the mess all these companies are going to make after they’ve fired half their devs and tried to just vibe code everything.

It was never the majority of the federal government knowing about it and gaslighting the public.

I dunno that I’d go that far. Maybe it’s hard to implicate Clinton without implicating Trump. Or maybe if Clinton suffers consequences, it’ll just make too much sense for Trump to suffer those same consequences. So they’re roped into protecting Clinton to protect Trump.

Gotta save as many pedophiles as they can, I guess.

It’s weird they’re so desperate. Clinton probably is in these files. All they have to do is wait and get the actual evidence.

Instead they’re desperate to make shit up before it even materializes.

Would be better without the text overlay.

Desperate. The article says literally nothing about Clinton.

Wrong country

“The Free Thought Project”. Seems like the very specific, peculiar thought project to me.

Try not to choke on that boot you’re licking

I don’t think the moral of “you better fucking vote” counts as boot licking.
