which is basically what we do using ublock origin - and then they inject ads directly into the video stream, and a custom UI wouldn’t help.

While I don’t disagree with Stallman, how would that solve this problem? This is about a major video hosting platform having market shares and injecting ads into their streams / UI. I do not see - even if every line of youtube’s software sources were public - how that would solve the issue that the hosting platform can insert ads anywhere - honestly, as much as I hate ads, I can’t even blame youtube for doing something morally questionable - they are providing a service, they are not a public institution obligated to making information accessible.

Capitalism. No.

I meant that thanks to abstract art we’re willing to forgive “image glitches” in art by deep learning models.

Generative AI is much better at art than coding.

Mostly because humans invented this convenient thing called abstract art - and since then tolerates pretty much everything that looks “strange” as art. Must have been a deep learning advocate with a time machine who came up with abstract art.

Clearest difference I can see is:

• people who act more in the interest of society and less in the interest of those in power get arrested
• people who help those in power tighten the leash on society (fuckerberg, muskrat, etc) get courted and don’t ever face consequences

In other words: A high profile person in tech being threatened with arrest / being arrested by western countries is a pretty good sign that they were not cooperating with our totalitarian overlords & providing us with ways to preserve our privacy.

A censor happy mod thinks they are the greatest… How pathetic :D

The mistake is public. This is where people see it and should also see the correction. The fact that you get your knickers in a twist over a simple word correction, is worrysome. It’s not like I said “lol u so dumb OP”.

Hard disagree. Common mistakes ruin grammar because other people will adopt these. And when written language becomes ambiguous due to people not using proper grammar, that’s a very important foundation of “words have no meaning” fuzziness employed by populists, and in effect dumbs down people.

*save

Electrocute both then.

How about bathing the fucking turd Bezos with twenty faulty hairdryers that they failed to recall?

In other words: They want me to never buy a Logitech product ever again. Fuck you greedy corporate shitpiles!

I was saying:

most data center admins using linux are not so stupid to subscribe to remote updates from a third party

Your response is not related in any way to that. If a third party software - running on system rights - forces auto-updates, that’s called a “rootkit” and any sane admin would refuse to install such a package.

Competent here also meaning “if the upper management refuses to listen to my advice, I leave because I have other options”. People who implement stupid policies - and especially technological solutions - against their principles are a cancer to democracy. Those are the people that enable tech-illiterate morons to implement totalitarian regimes.

had similar issues with specific Linux distros a month ago. It just didn’t get reported on because it didn’t have as wide of an impact.

Because most data center admins using linux are not so stupid to subscribe to remote updates from a third party. Linux issues happen when critical package vulnerabilities make it into the repo.

There are millions of people devoting huge amounts of time and energy into improving AI capabilities,

millions of students who bought into the marketing bullshit, you mean.

mwahahah. The people who are working on LLMs right now are the dumbasses and MBAs of the industry. If we ever get anything like an artificial general AI, it will come from a team of serious researchers / engineers who don’t give a shit about marketing.
