Downvotes rewarded with hugs.
That’s the difference, isn’t it? People can use “AI” to make simple little things easier. Corporations want it to replace and automate the jobs of swathes of the workforce. It’s the latter that is the “growth market”, and the one that eats the most power.
“Wherever it’s needed” is the operative term here, isn’t it? Looking at how it’s already being implemented, nobody seems to bother asking whether “AI” is really needed.
Came here to say that a 95% reduction in energy consumption will only greenwash a corresponding or larger increase in usage — but yours is of course the correct response! 👏👏👏
Hopefully not. They’re clearly batting down the hatches and trying to centralise the market around WP.org — at least as far as The Verge calls ACF a “WP Engine plug-in”, and (although I’m not sure how accurate that is) Mullenweg shares that impression.
This all feels like an odd subversion of open source software, where maybe the commercial branches of WP are spread thin financially and need to play hardball with rivals to corner the market? I honestly don’t know, but Mullenweg’s belligerent rhetoric re WP Engine seems desperate and over the top.
I’m reminded of that other time a happy-go-lucky FLOSS founder turned monopolist, although Moxie Marlinspike wasn’t suing and being countersued when he personally shut down a third party Signal client in Github comments…
To quote Life of Brian,
…assuming of course these are people who left the open Fediverse to join another corporate platform.
I think we agree on the limited capability of (what is currently passed off as) “artificial intelligence”, yes.
According to that research mentioned in the article, the answer is yes. The big caveats are
Let’s take that etymology one step further: “fan” comes from “fanatic”, so a stan is a stalker fanatic. Which somehow has become a positive term in some circles.
Need to read up on smoke signals and/or carrier pigeons 🙂
Welp, there goes the [online] neighbourhood! It was nice knowing you all.
I didn’t want to pay for their search engine before, and this garbage sure as hell isn’t going to change my mind.
as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage
I would live this to be the takeaway lesson that humans are better at history. However, loads of accepted history is also trained on garbage.
When there are only two options om the ballot and one is set to steer your country into fascism and a recall of human rights — there is no comparison. You vote for the other one.
Also, dick measuring.
Love that featured image 😆 Perfect metaphor for latter day Twitter!
Sorry, I thought you might want the scenic route to Github 🙂
Cool, and she updates her github repos now and then. Good to know.
Looks like this might be the one, and it supports @Generative@aussie.zone’s info that she’s behind the Nukit twitter account (and online shop).
So apparently the state “only” cracked down on her previous online presence such as Youtube, and probably put her and her partner under increased surveillance/control?
No, I’m talking about people seeing past f—ng fandom to the reality that others they meet online, or whose content they consume, may live under less free circumstances than themselves.
She was outed by Vice, which seems to have been met with apathy by the online community, and it looks like the authorities cracked down on her as a consequence. The insistence of some commenters to see this through a “fan” or “taste” lens is pretty blinkered.
That was probably not on WeDistribute, who mostly write about the Fediverse.
