I like the digital sovereignty stuff. Just wish they’d get rid of the AI act and some other rather heavyhanded, regressive rules. Then I’d probably go to Zurich and try to get into the tech scene there.

The (singular) fediverse girl is kind of sad

I’m really not surprised

We need laws to LEGALLY hold these people accountable. Criminally.

This is why I roll my eyes when people talk about “human preference models” with a straight face

Blocks access to “protect” people? How does limiting people’s freedom help?

Can’t tell if this guy’s finally lost it or I just have a very different sense of humor from him

Oh yes, unlike the French and Dutch…???

Actually, I think it’s more useful under socialism than capitalism. Most things aren’t economic to automate to a high standard of quality now because human labor is valued so low. In a democratic socialist society where people get to choose whether to work, automating menial tasks that people tend not to want to do will make more sense because folks won’t want to do those things for cheap.

Though the image generators are actually good. The visual arts will never be the same after this

“Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes” – Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.

Unpopular opinion: It’s OK to use AI to fight fraud as long as your data is good, your precision threshold is very high, and appeals are easy. It seems like it is almost never used in this way when people try to save money, sadly.

Sad. Reads like they needed a warm body but it didn’t much matter who

I wish they would irradiate it instead of boiling. Irradiation is completely safe and preserves the nutritional benefits. But the raw milk people are generally opposed to that, and irradiation has a PR problem. Sadness.

A non prime number of times… It looks like the string of characters could repeat number of times because the whole capture group repeats. I don’t see a prime constraint.

At first, yes, but eventually prices come down when there’s a glut of supply

Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!

I would have interpreted this the same way as the AI did FWIW. Then again, I don’t do frontend stuff, and I run when I see TypeScript in my hobby projects because it’s such a pain.
