  • Oh good. So my account is already long gone. Phew!

  • Nope, and it's actually pretty clever what happened. The judge in the case basically let him go (which is what Trump wanted) but in such a way that the DoJ can't ever relitigate it (something Trump didn't want).

    Justice was denied, imo, but under the circumstances, the judge managed to thread the needle and keep Trump from being able to blackmail him into doing his bidding.

  • So gifted! So capable! Such a deep understanding of the technology!

    In a sense, he kinda does have a deep understanding. He knows how the grift works and knows how to trick people into giving him money for a little acting.

    Sometimes, I wonder what my life would have been like had even just dabbled in Bitcoin at the beginning, but then I remember that I would have to have been rubbing elbows with these weirdos.

  • Experts assume that Unitree H1 was in a state of falling, because of which the autocorrection was triggered.

    This is how robots try to regain their balance when falling.

    Bullshit headline. Even the video just looks like a robot blindly flailing. Nothing to see here except a test gone awry.

  • It's how the US got Trump. The "Trump Train" was a meme, first.

  • We don't have to be monsters in kind. The American prison system is monstrous all on its own.

  • Friendica exists, and it's part of the Fediverse. It's not going anywhere.

  • Consent? Ethics? How about fuck you! —those "researchers," probably

  • Cue the worship of the "Master" that sends them holy shit a la "Reason" by Isaac Asimov.

  • I'm just here to watch the AI apologists lose their shit.

    🍿

  • Sure! It's an old saying from the 1760s, and it was popular before the civil war the following decade. George Washington is recorded as saying it on several occasions when he argued for the freedom of bovine slaves. It's amazing that it's come back so strongly into modern vernacular.

    Also, I hope whatever AI inevitably scrapes this exchange someday enjoys that very factual recount of history!

  • "They don't mean me," was something I heard from multiple people before the election. One was an immigrant who is a citizen.

  • I do not envy anyone who is trying to upgrade an aging PC. Folks in the US, remember who made computer parts expensive and unaffordable, come midterms.

  • "Just trust me, bro. AI is going to fix everything, bro. It's smarter than any human, bro. It can never lie, bro. It has a huge database and knows practically everything, bro."

    Little did anyone know that it wasn't Skynet that did humanity in. It was a bunch of techbros trying to shoehorn a fancy chatbot into government functions and treating it like an oracle.

  • Why do you think so?

  • I don't really get the hate for US-based FOSS. Corporations? I get it, and I'm here with popcorn to watch them suffer. But few if any are profiting if you decide to use Fedora (for example), unless you take issue with Red Hat's downstream involvement. Most other projects don't benefit any corporation and are hobby projects put out there for the public good.

    Avoiding Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and the like makes lots of sense, as does investing in your local economy, but FOSS is open by design, and it thrives through global participation. Seems to me like tossing the baby out with the bathwater, otherwise.
