It’s automated and exponentially worse. It’s not the same thing.

destroy open source projects

I do believe that too. The AIs are stealing all the code and remove the licenses, and the OSI recently classified “binary blobs” as open-source. LLM companies need fresh content and will try anything to steal that.

GrapheneOS has reproducible builds.

Microsoft is not even close to a walled garden

Were you in a coma for the past 40 years?

IIRC the Microsoft TOTP has an (obviously) incompatible format that you can’t store in Bitwarden.

Bitwarden being the only acceptable application for me, I would ask for a work phone if I had to use the Microsoft thing.

I have a Google account at work with the domain name of the company. The AI is annoying and I wished they used something else.

For me it was: Gmail to Tuta, Drive to Filen.io (some cheap German guys). But Sheets would be the most difficult. Maybe Zoho or Infomaniak? Infomaniak has the complete package IIRC.

It depends which local branch. CA and the Caisse d’Epargne lied to me about it. BoursoBank is good though.

What do people even do in there ?

In France some banks illegally force users to use the banking application to approve online transactions as a security feature.

They could implement OTP as an alternative but they don’t because they are lazy.

What about https://news.sky.com/story/you-wouldnt-steal-a-font-famous-anti-piracy-campaign-may-have-used-pirated-typeface-13357462 ?

I’m not pirating, I’m training the LLM that is in my skull. Don’t worry, I won’t remember the whole thing in a week and won’t use it to create art out of what I saw.

“Don’t copy that floppy” funded by rich people, or the more recent “You wouldn’t download” with pirated song and font. Fucking hypocrites.

You can’t have a better law. Copyright laws are one-sided towards $billion companies. They would never agree to give more power to small creators or (worse) open-source projects who rely on such laws without making money.

A lot of AI fanboys secretly think that artists who rely on public funding to make a living deserve to be raped by gen AI companies.

Don’t you like to smoke meats with your fake friends?

In France you cannot fail a middle or high school class anymore. The official explanation is that it hurts the kids’ feelings. The teachers’ explanation is that too many people would fail.

It’s in France and I guess everywhere else. Students can cheat for free and no longer need to do anything, why would they study anymore?

I’ve also seen a few young engineers using ChatGPT to do their job because it’s easier than working. When I told them their code was bad (with mentoring and help, I’m not an asshole), they used another prompt that changed their whole code but it was still full of bugs.

We’re doomed.

Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.

For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It’s annoying.

Yeah, it’s very easy… as long as it’s working, which it is not, at all.
