Better title: "make sure you're on the official website when you're trying to download software, even if you've used it before".
The list includes widely used tools like PowerToys, CrystalDiskMark, EasyBCD, Lively Wallpaper, and Wintoys, all cloned onto lookalike domains that in most cases rank above the real project pages on Google.
Off the top of my head, I wouldn't know the right domain to download CrystalDiskMark or EasyBCD, for example. It doesn't sound like these clones are perfect replicas, but a convincingly close enough domain name with the same page contents might fool a ton of people
These accusations are extremely uncharitable. Trump's dismantling of clean energy is an entirely different topic, and Grist has published multiple articles on it.
But even ignoring all that, the article literally addresses this:
The national increase in power sector emissions represents the reversal of a longstanding trend. Before the AI boom, U.S. power consumption had been flat for decades . Utilities, grid operators, and energy planners had assumed that pattern would continue, and many planned to retire their older and dirtier coal plants with the expectation that natural gas and renewables could replace them. Instead, electricity demand is rising much faster than anticipated. Data centers could make up more than 10 percent of U.S. electricity usage by 2030, and they operate around the clock, including when wind and solar farm output is low .
Dawkins' opinions have been a bit embarrassing for a while. I wrote him off a while ago. This one just adds to the pile, on top of the Epstein associations
The artist behind the images, Jonny Sheridan, described them as exploring the "perils of AI". "Concerns about AI alignment with human values, the impact on employment and fears about the end of humanity are addressed."
"My AI-generated graphics have people asking a lot of questions already answered by my AI-generated graphics." (They really aren't.)
Interesting to note that the AI graphics supposedly about misogyny were generated by a very defensive man, and the first critic in the article - who gets her face posted alongside it -is a woman. Very strange.
The Linux Foundation isn't Linux per se, but it funds a lot of the development. And they are funded the most by Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle. And the best known Linux Foundation funded developer, Linus Torvalds, is an AI pusher himself now.
We saw in a movie how motorcycles can jump over bridges. We usedAI to learn how to do this. We gave it information, like whatmotorcycles we use and the distance we need to jump and so on and itgave us steps on what we have to do. We practiced a lot and keptasking questions. We dug holes and filled them with broken glass and fire to practice. 18 of us died in the process.
Meta enlisted cricketer Virat Kohli and a roster of content creators to promote its Gen 2 version of the glasses aimed at affluent Indians.
And it turns out affluent Indians behave the exact same as affluent Americans that go around like creeps to record people. In this case, it was to effectively mock and dox them. And it clearly worked, because the influencer gets to hide behind a pseudonym in the article, while the trans person does not.
Really? Because the more I look at it, the worse it gets!
By contrast, unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns. Those concerns should be addressed through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions on techniques that play an important role in AI innovation.
That bold part describes corporate capture. Mandatory "frameworks" for the companies that can afford to build them out.
And the nationalism is all over. Just Ctrl+F "America". Here is Mozilla telling the government to put AI in classrooms:
America wins the AI era by diffusing it into the workflows of factories, hospitals, farms, classrooms, and main street businesses.
And here is the America First part a bit louder in case you missed it the first time:
The age of AI can be one of prosperity. With the right choices, open weight AI can expand opportunity, strengthen competition, extend American technological leadership...
I'm not familiar with how this federation is supposed to work specifically, but does that mean in theory that you could still contribute to projects that do contain cryptocurrency through a Codeberg account?
I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I've started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it's AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It's not the first article I've seen that's basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.
And Mozilla and Palantir and the Linux Foundation.
This entire letter is rancid. "Governments, invest in us!"
Policymakers have an important opportunity to act. This includes expanding access to compute for startups and researchers, investing in shared training assets (datasets, tools, evaluation frameworks)...
Mandatory "distillation is good when we do it but evil when foreigners do it". Good job Mozilla, my favorite "internet is for everyone" company, sinking into nationalism!
Distillation... reflects a long tradition of learning from, building upon, and improving existing technologies, a tradition that has helped drive innovation since the rise of the open-source software movement. By contrast, unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns .

How's it easy?
Not the technical part (which definitely looks as easy as just dropping a requirement), but the spam/abuse prevention part.
