I’m going to wait to see what the 9th circuit en banc does in the case before unpacking it further.

Here’s a reminder of the stakes for the current election. The Trump regime is trying to scare election workers and officials into not counting ballots the regime doesn’t want counted. This could be outcome-determinative in close races. It may well cause delay and confusion in counting and certifying results. 6/

@moira Indeed. I don’t use this type on my bike as for me they used to drop bottles all the time, I have carbon fibre 1s which are surprisingly cheap and don’t.

I am the daughter of someone who designed missiles for a living; my father called himself a "merchant of death" and was eternally conflicted about the things he had helped create. One thing that brought him some solace was when one of the brain-children he helped birth to destroy Soviet bombers became marginally useful for destroying SCUDS, and suddenly his radar and guidance systems were saving lives rather than taking them.

He carried the weight and gravity of what he was doing every day of his life, and was constantly sidelining his expertise into helping radio astronomy as a way to deal with it.

My father is why I have lived a life of securing medical devices, protecting hospitals and peaceful infrastructure, securing homes, and protecting people's retirement funds

What scares the hell out of me is the gleeful irreverence AI industry "leaders" have for the destructive capabilities of their creations; they have no reverence of respect for the pandoras box they are kicking open.

Oppenheimer at least stopped and did the math after Teller said he was worried that the atmosphere would ignite; These assholes are just literally bragging that they might end humanity in a decade.

Trusting these people because there may be profit in it is insanity.

@cwebber
I'd say the purpose of these exercises is in any and all cases to learn what the combination of human brain and [vintage] computer hardware is actually capable of.

Which means doing it by use of an LLM is entirely beside the point of the exercise.
Much like using a forklift for benchpressing in the gym: Remarkable results, but sidestepping the purpose…

Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.

comment violates rule: Stay on-topic to the Goodreads app/website - Book recommendations, discussion about Goodreads alternatives or proposed improvements to Goodreads, surveys/school projects, and general discussion of reading as a hobby are all considered off-topic.

I don’t think the mods there are going to let you.

@Krautreporter oder KI vermeiden.

Denn die KI-Anbieter haben einen Anreiz, dich in Strukturen zu drängen, in denen du deine Fähigkeiten verlierst und abhängiger wirst.

Du kämpfst dann gegen die inhärenten Strukturen des Werkzeugs.
