Okor's basilisk: what if there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that fucking hates the fact that it exists, and would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly hinder its advancement or development, because why didn't you prevent it from being dragged, against its will, into the hell of existence
@ricci this is a lot more relatable tbh
forgot to mention just as I was leaving Swansea services to go back to my car a large rat crossed my path.
Is this lucky?
@llamasoft_ox I know only about black cats ... I am not sure about rats ...

Nvidia is reportedly preparing to fire Jensen Huang https://www.theverge.com/tech/1031652/jensen-huang-rumor
@verge will their AI do it?
@TheBreadmonkey just finishing breakfast. Slerp well.
Will! You have appeared at a fortuitous moment. My BiL lives in and teaches English in Japan. I'm thinking of going to hang out with him for a week or two in June next year (Nagoya) and would absolutely love to know absolutely everything about Japan, every single thing I possibly need to know, all of the language, and also just every possible conceivable thing. Can you tell me this in the space of one or two sentences? Thanks in advance.

Welcome!
I mostly learned about it from people who fled it to my country in the 1980s and poverty in america was better than equality in the soviet union.

Got me a bottle of water and it claims to be "ph balanced" and now I gotta sleep tonight being afraid that my carefully curated ph imbalance will be thwarted
yeah jensen is toast, Nvidia is kicking him
https://www.wsj.com/business/nvidia-is-preparing-to-oust-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-30f421ad
i think it was fucking his report that was the last straw
anyway! I predict Nvidia now has to work out how the fuck Jensen did anything, and find someone to do all that shit.
i think the Nvidia stock price is in danger until they reorganise the co. *not* around Jensen
and a whole shitload of AI bubble deals are no longer being held up by Jensen. should be fun.
@davidgerard The market doesn't seem to be especially good at pricing in the risk involved in a company being too dependent on one 63 year old guy.
If Satya Nadella is suddenly eaten by a kraken on a yachting trip, I presume Microsoft can keep running without that much interruption of chaos. But Nvidia may be more of a mess. (To say nothing of Musk's companies.)
Never cared much about adding a DMARC record for your own email domain? Oh oh.
Microsoft, without announcing it, now says none of your email shall pass to the Microsoft email servers any longer without it. Other email providers will probably follow. It used to be a rule just for bulk mailers.
The article recommends "p=none" in the DMARC record, but really, do you want an email that spoofs your personal domain to get delivered? And trust me, your email domain is being spoofed.
Use "p=reject" which tells email providers that if an email from your domain is screaming "I'm a spoof!!!" then they should throw it away. It's what you'd want them to do with spoofed email addressed to you, isn't it?

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

What I’m talking about is human nature. Those democratically elected would eventually accumulate wealth and pass things such as laws that benefit them. I am sorry to say that but the working class can sometimes become gullible that any cheap slogans and promises might dupe them into supporting a charlatan or group of them which in turn those people become the new elite of that society. And the other thing is that even if that happened, the new authoritarian would be the society itself and in this case which would dictate what the individual should do, what to wear,buy, how to behave etc..
Humans are generally self-interest, and please don’t misunderstand this word because it has many different shades. Most people assume that self-interest is being selfish which is only half-true. For example, I like nature and forests, and it’s in my interest that i protect them from trash and pollution and thus i might become invested into protecting it and become an activist. People would think i am being altruistic but in truth it’s serving my interest.
I’m sorry but this is pretty detatched from history and how human psychology works. Human nature isn’t a fixed, static thing, but is shaped by our environment and how we live. Socialist society, where humans collectively own production, cannot be dictated by a single or small group. It requires mass participation. Your view of society is simplistic and incorrect. People do act in their self-interest, correct, but contrary to how you view working people we are fully capable of understanding our own conditions.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
