  • that would blow you up

    Emphasis mine. Sure, chuds are fine to take money for bombs used on other people, but if you genuinely believed you were working on your own doomsday?

  • I plan on going to smaller fediverse graphs if it ever gets too mainstream around here.

    The moment I see a fuckin brand I am out. Joining whatever network has a zero tolerance policy for that corporate fuckery.

  • Problem here is it relies on people using redit after having found lemmy. I know some people do, but I can only imagine it's a one-way valve for most.

  • This reminds me of how a buddy of mine used to rename his desktop files from like "Carmaggedon demo" to remove the "demo" because it made him feel rich.

  • US government sides with OpenAI on issue of training LLMs on copyrighted material: »it is critical for the United States to ‘retain global leadership in artificial intelligence.«

  • True. Profit is about the only thing these companies will never generate, but there's still money being thrown at them, it's just being spent on bonuses, mergers, and data centers.

    Scrapers could peel off 1B of that to pay for what they're taking (like the pay for antique, print only books—because they can't physically steal those) instead of just robbing the commons if they really wanted to, if they thought that anything they were doing was ethically defensible or financially sustainable. ___

  • You're good, I just wanted to make the point for anyone who might just give up and stick with Google because they can't decide on a perfectly virtuous replacement.

    Any change from the mainstream is a good change. But for anyone who wants to dig even deeper, oooo boy is that something you can get into.

  • I have access to essentially unlimited local compute at my work. Some of my coworkers use it to run LLMs, some use the pre-enshittified corporate models, and I gave all that a shot—like really went for it, but ultimately would rather just work at my own pace.

    In my workplace the people who use them come off as kind of frantic to my eye. Like they're always making these overly engineered greenfield things no one asked for, which gets them a shout out at quarterly and then no one ever thinks of it again...

    I'm not saying there's 0 legitimate use for the technology if you could divorce it from its problematic origins, but I'm not that smart, and people are increasingly coming to me for help when previously they seemed happy to just talk to their little corporate minder.

    I feel like chatbot and text generating models generally encourage dark patterns we don't even have names for yet and I'm just highly wary of the whole thing.

  • I wish this was talked about more. So much hay being made about this on the assumption that Google maintains their own database of locations instead of pulling from sources like GNIS like they actually do.

    I think this gets mentioned every single time one of these stupid name changes comes up.
