Well, yeah. It’s OpenSea. That’s like saying “76% of videos on Pornhub are porn.”

AI has already peaked. It’s all downhill from here.

I’m curious whether there’s anyone in this thread who is cool with, for instance, Github renaming the default branch name to “main” but thinks GIMP renaming would be woke BS.

For the record, I’m for both changes and and yes I do have a glass case where I keep my downvote collection.

Obligatory “install Linux” post.

Yes! I didn’t even think to check until now. Thank you, kind stranger!

Jerboa. Because it’s fully open source and it’s the first one I installed and I have yet to have enough of a problem with it to look for alternatives. (The left-right swipe features are… not a good thing, but they’re not bad enough to make me want to switch.)

If ℕ is natural numbers and ℚ is rational numbers and ℤ is integers and ℝ is the rational numbers, what are 𝕏 and 𝕐?

Yeah. This is Microsoft we’re talking about.

Extremely enlightening comment here.

Sounds like IBM kindof got ripped off. Seems about right for Gates/Ballmer/Microsoft.

And I bet a lot more of that jank is still in modern Windows than I’d like to think about.

Gotta be honest about my experience with Legal Eagle. One of the first videos I ever saw of his contained an error. (Sonny Bono had nothing to do with the Copyright Act of 1976. Bono wasn’t in congress until 1995. Legal Eagle is confusing the Copyright Act of 1976 with the “Sonny Bono” Copyright Term Extension Act which was passed in 1998.)

And maybe it’s just serendipitous that one of the first videos of his that I watched contained an error that I was able to identify immediately. And maybe the vast majority of his videos aren’t riddled with errors. But I’m no expert on law and he’s supposed to be an expert on law, and given that one of the first few facts I even heard him speak was one I could immediately identify as incorrect, it made me concerned.

Like if I had no expertise in Chemistry beyond my high-school class 20 years ago and was able to correct someone on YouTube who claims to hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry and claims to have worked as a chemical engineer at Dow Chemical for the last 20 years that “no, actually oxygen isn’t a noble gas. Maybe you’re thinking of neon? It’s just two to the right on the periodic table from oxygen.”

Sounds like something John Oliver ought to cover.

(And, yeah, I know he’s mentioned it in episodes dedicated to other things, but an episode specifically about forced arbitration would be cool.)

Lame. Write your code in Powerpoint.

You’re hallucinating. (Pun intended.)

Neither Capt. Wolf nor I said a single thing about AI or Open Source. And the article didn’t mention anything about Open Source.

Completely unrelated to anything my post said.

Even if it’s just another scheme to further concentrate wealth (and it is at least that), that harms everyone but the 0.1%.

They will conclude that they did not actually save money by replacing human developers with LLMs.

The next CTO might realize that. If there hasn’t been a change in upper-level management, they’ll just double down and blame the few remaining human developers for the mess.

CTO’s are incapable of self-reflection.

Um - those laws have been passed in many countries.

Yeah, I know. I just wondered what putting a “but only for AI and crypto applications” as OP said added to the conversation.

In civilized places, e.g. not the U.S. (it’s cool, I’m American), where it’s not a struggle to get any environmental legislation passed, adding “AI and crypto” to the conversation is unnecessary. In the U.S. where the minority of conspiracy theorists get what they want through cheating, I doubt adding AI and crypto to the conversation is going to help any.

There’s going to be an article one of these days in Business Insider or something saying “employees increasingly establishing secret outside-of-the-company communication channels and sharing trade secrets over them.” And then the companies are going to get all pissy about “muh trade secritssssss” and issue nagging emails to the whole company not to set up Discords to evade their employee monitoring solution that they pay a gorillion dollars a year for. And because it was the CEO’s idea, he can’t just back down and admit it was wrong. He has to keep doubling down.

Why not just pass a law that no one can generate electricity except from green sources? It sounds so easy when I put it like that.

Are you thinking that sprinkling the buzzwords “AI” and “Crypto” on an “only green energy” kind of provision would allow lawmakers to leverage hype to cut through right-wing resistence to green energy mandates in a way that a more blanket (or even just not-Crypto/AI-focused) provision couldn’t?

It seems like usually when an LLM is called “Open Source”, it’s not. It’s refreshing to see that Jan actually is, at least.
