“It clearly paid off to aggressively push to delay these cases as long as possible,” said Jessica Levinson, a constitutional law professor at Loyola Law School.

No duh, everyone knew this was his plan. Basically the same plan as Netanyahu.

It’s frankly terrifying that there’s an essentially 50/50 chance this man will be elected, again…

I’m ever astounded by women who choose republican ideology.

Absolutely no way this doesn’t explicitly target certain groups of people and end up in a lawsuit.

It probably helps that WebKit was forked from KDE’s Konqueror/KHTML and that Blink was a fork of WebKit.

Compared to Gecko, I’m sure they behave the same as far as webdevs were concerned - hindering it’s adoption - webdevs don’t want to support esoteric engines for obvious reasons.

Mere possession of child pornography should not be a crime at all. To prosecute people for possessing something published, no matter what it may be, is a big threat to human rights. – stallman.org, 5 June 2017 “Possession of child porn”

I’ll honestly be surprised if he doesn’t end up being revealed to be in possession of CSAM.

Not just problematic, but consequential too:

Richard Stallman has also embarked upon a decades-long political project to normalize sexual violence. Under his ideological leadership, the free software movement is unsafe, particularly for women. Women represent just 3% of the free software community,2 compared to 23% of industry programmers generally.3 This is no accident. There is a pervasive culture of sexism and a stark lack of accountability in free software, and it begins with Stallman’s unchallenged and reprehensible behavior.

Shit, at this rate we’re months away from being able to play Doom on Amazon product pages (fun fact, you can totally use the AI prompts like it’s chatGPT and ask for python code, lmao)

–BTW this article looks like an ad for Jason Schreier’s new book about this topic, that releases soon and is mentioned as the last sentence in the article with a single link that spans across 4 lines.–

He’s had a few other articles written, but given the detail and research, I think he can be forgiven. It’s not like he’s trying to sell something that doesn’t live up to what the book is about.

Either a very poor attempt to avoid Poe’s law, or they’re truly lost on how words work.

A llm making business decisions has no such control or safety mechanisms.

I wouldn’t say that - there’s nothing preventing them from building in (stronger) guardrails and retraining the model based on input.

If it turns out the model suggests someone killing themselves based on very specific input, do you not think they should be held accountable to retrain the model and prevent that from happening again?

From an accountability perspective, there’s no difference from a text generator machine and a soda generating machine.

The owner and builder should be held accountable and thereby put a financial incentive on making these tools more reliable and safer. You don’t hold Tesla not accountable when their self driving kills someone because they didn’t test it enough or build in enough safe guards – that’d be insane.

First off, I feel for the reporters who had to endure a score of these.

I don’t know how they endured, I can’t listen to 20 seconds of his racist word salad, let alone 20 whole ass speeches.

Brilliant

As a NJ native, it’s sort of funny that nj.com of all places would report on this, given its past conservative leanings.

😉

Wha… why how could you call this man blasphemous?

It sure sounds like someone doesn’t know their Two Corinthians.

Switch 2 taking on a crazy form

Considering the staggering cost of AI models, waiting until AI solves the problem is going to do nothing but prove the Great Filter hypothesis.

Devils advocate, but of course the dude that is unemployed can be out campaigning more frequently than the vice president.

She was literally just in North Carolina to survey hurricane damage.
