sorry, it was hyperbolic humor to get to the point that adding all these checks and eroding our rpivacy will do absolutely nothing. i was matching the silliness of the government’s response.

Why not impose the death penalty for robo callers? oh , thats right, because they can exist outside this country. how does any of this stop foreign scammers?

the title is a hyperbolic but the research makes sense. but for those who do not contain the gene needed for resding articles… they gave people a math test. one group had no assisstance the other had ai solve the problems and then take it away and the ai group had trouble finishing once the ai was gone.

i never thought people should use it to take the challenge away. i want ai to sweep thenfloor so i have time to build a new controller for my sprinkler system. i dont want ai to build the project so i can sweep floors.

This is a ridiculous title. remove misk from the story for a minute. are we saying that tje only people who can build something are those who built it before? Nokia who made rubber boots dodnt know anything about mobile phones bitbi think they did a orettybgood job going from boots to phones. But because musk is a douche, all of a sudden it is a “harebrain scheme”. musk isnt building the thing. he has a history of paying a lot of money to people who know what they are doing. spacex is great example.pf that. its hard not to admire the great engineers who work there. its a company that will thrive even if musk disappeared.

honest question, isnt the register a news site?

i don’t like musk at all but what kind of news article spends just as much time on the dislike of the man than the event its reporting on.

obviously my point is moot if another commenter tells me that the register was bought about by so-and-so and is no longer a news site.

this worries me with any tech.

1. if a smaller company dvelopes a competing product (openai and anthropic used to be small) will it hinder them and provide access to only the mion stream companies?

2. how does this affect non-us models?

3. will they only be approved if they say wonderful things about trump? have you ever asked grok about elon?

i started there, like lemmy, i also sign into piefed. its just different software connecting to the fediverse

It was 100% about the web. But to be clear, for this conversation we have to be pedantic. when i say web, i mean the world wide web, the service that runs on the application layer of the internet. I am not talking about the internet itself. I was working as a software developer and a lot of people thought web pages weren’t going anywhere. AOL was how people accessed online but there were competing products to the WWW, the biggest competitor was gopher. Web pages were not as functional at first and were seen as a fad, like an online business card. So yes people doubted the WWW app/tech itself.

which wont affect anything mentioned in this article. you do realize when the dotcom bubble bursted, the web didnt gonaway. we actually do buy pet food online now. (seeling pet food was thr last thing before the burst)

its just the small companies that popped up trying tk ride the wave will go away. the crazy hardware ramp up will die down. anthropic isnt going anywhere

this article is less about issues with streaming and more about the author’s impulse control issues.

the problem is, its not just us. uk and france want to be part of this shit too.

There is so much to unwind here:

1. phones should not be out at school

2. it should not be a law. thats overreach. schools have authority to hand out punishment.

3. children are not the same as adults. their brains are not fully formed. they lack the ability to see consequences and act appropriately based on those future consequences. so being outraged for different rules for chikdren is brain dead.

linux doesnt exist because hobbyists make it. the inteternet runs on it. the largest companies in the world run on it.

these companies that contribute to the kernel arent hobbyists https://insights.linuxfoundation.org/project/korg/contributors?timeRange=past365days&start=2025-05-02&end=2026-05-02

it surprises me that anyone disagrees with this. i am not anti ai at all but why would we hand out awards to ao generated stuff? whats the accomplishmennt?

i should have said the west. iran has called out the uk.

they already bombed amazon for no financial gain.

its their continued attack on american companies

since its a terrotist atrack from iran… no

i think most people just don’t care. we really need to spread the message. i think getting reddit users on piefed and lemmy is a good start. (like your username btw)

i want to spread the word so bad but i was banned from reddit. never knew why and i was very curious and surprised until i found out Paul McCartney was banned for posting pictures of his concert. so now i know it could have been anything.

favebook is another matter. i may have never had an account but i love tech history. mark and the gang built tools to scrape you other account back in the day an add the data to facebook. made it easy to switch. they also made it close to impossible to do the same to facebook. but it would require something like that to get people on to something else.

ok… soap box rant tangent time…

i am so pissed all the governments have been stepping up this age check anti vpn anti privacy push. in my magical completely unrealistic paradise world, we would have public service annpuncents about how to self host and be a part of the solution. i am so just disenchanted with society (not sure if thats the best term). i feel like it was only two years ago where i feel the bad stuff was selling our data to advertisers. sure the nsa kept illegally spying on us but the EFF would fight them in court.

now its so much worse :(

no. i am going to slightly contradict my earlier hyperbole but microsoft was formed by bill gates and paul allen to work with altair. ibm was not involved then. this is why i have serious doubts about historical events because even things that happened during my lifetime are being altered
