I’ve seen criticism about these laws holding back AI companies’ development

These laws can’t do anything these grifter-companies full of misguided attempts to mis-use LLMs and LAMs aren’t doing to themselves already, tbh.

It’s all just a huge bubble of C-suites blowing hot smoke up each other’s arses.

Ah, they’re all crap.

Came to Teams from Slack, some upsides, some downsides. It’s a corporate communication tool, I don’t use it because I think it’s beautiful and elegant, I use it because I get paid money to use it.

Over a million actually by now, and they got above 15 mil total.

Of course, but good luck getting those 5% of users that actually produce nearly 100% of the content to move over if their business model cannot work. And once those move, you know where all the people following them move.

Exactly. The design, the sign-up process, the colors, the formatting, it’s all very pre-Musk-Twitter.

Even the icon is reminiscent!

It’s as smooth a transition as you can make it, so no wonder people do it effortlessly.

Meanwhile in camp Mastodon: “Please pick a server” -> tab closed already

Because the mastodon evangelists are horrible.

Yeah that’s another thing, Mastodon is kinda nice, except for its userbase. :P

Because people I want to follow are on Bluesky?

(I mean, duh? Did you really need people to state that?!)

Porn doesn’t wreck your mind if you’re a sensible person?

What are we talking about here? Easily impressionable people with no frame of reference? They’re susceptible to everything. Well-adjusted people with prior information? They’re susceptible to neither.

Same, and honestly, that’s enough for now. It already cuts out a giant portion of the footprint and I got so many other things to worry about, I can work on finding replacement cheese that isn’t a joke later.

I would agree, but I’m still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

Difficult to say as that’s really not a common case at all. Might just lack evidence for how to understand this.

Awww, it’s trying its best!

Fully agreed! And while we’re at it, get rid of Power Pivot!

Obviously the former. In fact, it’s 1440p/165Hz right now, and I have 0 intent to increase resolution further since modern unoptimized games already struggle with this.

Pretty obviously false, and I’d genuinely question the social and intellectual capabilities of anybody who truly believes this - originally sarcastic - phrase.

Exactly this.

Indifference is how you know something doesn’t matter. I remember this lesson even from game development: People complaining about your game is still alright. When the feedback stops entirely, that’s when you fucked up.

Biden would give away Florida to Castro as part of his love for communism

I love how utterly deranged republican shit is in the US, and seemingly there are people so braindamaged they take it serious. 😂 Really goes to show how much worse things could be in many countries. At leasy they’re not the US, basically.

As long as we have Democrats like Kamala, we will have Republicans like Trump.

Ah, this makes sense, since Trump didn’t appear before Harris did. Smart thing to say.

Of course. It’s still just a software project.

Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
