Lots of holiday deals, fair regional pricing, massive open-source contributions, hanging back from making era-defining, envelope-pushing games to just make the gaming industry on PC better.

No. No no no. It is still being developed, with exponentially increasing resources. You downloading the model adds at least 1 but probably 10 increment to the “downloads” and repo watches CEOs 100% use to validate their insane echo chamber. And you’re literally paying for it all if you live in US and they built a data center in your neighborhood and your electricity bill 4x increased! Or if you ever want to upgrade to ddr5, and ever need more storage space! Or in many other myriad of ways!

Generally, you’re right, it’s just the left over tools from the gold rush, why not use them if they’re useful! No point in throwing them away. It’s good that you’re honest with yourself and will never validate the wild amounts of cosmically ironic cancer-inducing data centers they (I hope only Musk) are operating, by upgrading your local model distilled by your unfavorite AI cloud company that is negative profit for 5 years and somehow still alive

Are you perchance ignoring the petawatt-hours that were needed to train and distil your local AI model?

The wonderful “AI revolution” is kind of the main reason this is an increasingly horrible problem. “Fighting back” against ever “smarter” bots is becoming increasingly hard.

Even if the intents are not malicious, wikipedia is seriously suffering from the “AI revolution”, this is a very interesting tiny research project that gives a glimpse of that: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-ai-generated-content-in-wikipedia-a-tale-of-caution

Rare footage of chinese General’s dissent being open and available is very interesting news, at least to me.

Maybe you should unsubscribe from worldnews and subscribe to USAnews (or rather please make that community and not annoy us with USA garbage deluge).

In many ways, you’re mostly criticizing as if this was a malicious attempt to hide current USA events and further USA foreign policy narratives. Not really seeing any USA in the article. And the factual happenings are interesting.

In some sense, you are doing the same by believing the whole group is against you, and therefore going less into a discussion and just swinging anger.

I was in support of you, but I think in general it’s much better for the long version of your comment, it makes people less emotionally charged into judging :)

Not sure why you got so much hate, friend. You’re even technically correct. Emotional, but correct.

Narcissism 💁

More likely is CEOs and middle managmeent will be out of a job, but tha has a lot of inertia, and depends until when the people who actually provide the value in the company reach their threshold and call quits

It potentially is a fake “cover” article, literally an article made to deluge the internet search index with the keywords “epstein” and “trump” but with a less heinous and more confusing, not damning headline (the only thing most people read). Thus anybody searching for the keywords in the future will find nothing (in the first page of google, bing, or brainrot character generator matrix of your choice)

Apparently they do this quite a lot in UK, i’ve heard (Boris). Once you know it, you see it a lot.

Just reading the actual “article” is usually wild, quality worse than tabloids, and you’re left confused, because why would someone spend time and effort writing an article that is not interesting in any way, completely unfounded, just plain nothing. Well, the reason is usually they did have a reason, and the reason was money and malicious. These days it’s most likely AI slop.

There is nothing short of non-fascistic government-forced bankcrupcy sell off that will actually make it cheap, so… I feel it is a pipe dream

Fuck you, take the upvote

It is sad and mystically abysmally ironic that all the books written about dystopias are seemingly being read as manuals

I think you’re right on your first sentence. Second one is entirely superfluous; and doesn’t have substance in support for the question.

There is definitely an amount of valid secrecy in positions of power, half of politics would collapse if they couldnt corroborate their eggs in order in their coop. With regards to authority that defines what should be publicly auditable, it’s rather a chicken and egg situation.

Before I hatch any more puns, generally politician’s privacy at work, or anything related to their position << civilian privacy should be definitely the case. I do like the idea.

How can we be sure?

I can’t tell… are people unironically upvoting this?

SecureErase would overwrite the whole drive (potentially multiple times). So if the ssd was close to dead, it might have just triggered it.

“Has” is a bit strong at the start of the war (2014). The revolution of dignity built actual sovereignty by slowly ousting the puppeteers. At the start of the major conflict (2022), the Ukrainian identity was only a fraction of how strong it is now.

In the end, there is perhaps some conspirational truth to what he said. Heavy hints that Russia invaded exactly after Maidan (2014), “separatists super unhappy with less ties with Russia and revolted too”, in the same week, is the weakest shit I have ever seen. Happy for 25 years, suddenly revolted. And Russia brought a whole occupational army to help the poor peacefully seceding citizens. Doesnt take a genius to see it’s just an already planned out show of force, “You don’t suckle on great big Russia’s teet, so we can slowly eat you? Then I will take your lands”
