That’s an insane transaction. The guy vibe coding the browser clearly has no idea what he’s doing…

Imagine how much other uneccesary work like this is being added on to FOSS project workloads…

Really hope this doesn’t turn into a “black guy gets punished due to a false accusation of AI use, old white guy gets away with it after freely admitting it” type situation…

Aren’t they mostly running on fossil fuels?

Depends who the study is funded by - if it’s fossil fuels, then yes.

That’s hilarious

I assumed ejaculate party

Impeach, convict, imprison, and then start restructuring the voting system to prevent gerrymandering and then to dismantle the two party system. For a start.

Damn. Impressive.

Sure, and instances are defederatable if it becomes a problem.

Idk, the moderation distribution helps, I think. I agree that it will become a problem for very large fedi servers, but that’s just an argument for increasing the number of small and medium servers

I like these. I’d be interested to see where they get to if you keep it up for a few years

Which one?

What ilk? Like chimps?

We should have required some basic social science or political science courses in comp sci from the start

This is worth a listen for some background on how EA thinking has been influencing the AI world:

Short version is that it’s a cult that believes that they are about to bring about a god, and need to ensure they are the ones in control.

Oh man… I used to do server admin more tyan a decade ago and that reminds me of horrible times trying to figure problems out. The internet is so damn fragile. I don’t envy anyone trying to do that these days…

I don’t know how someone can think “AI CAN obscure reality …”

Obviously the fundamental truth is “AI does obscure reality …” (Often this will be inconsequential, but that doesn’t make it less true).

(Edit: especially an academic, FFS)

I did. I would still make the same point. We don’t need to make every conservative a true progressive believer. We need to see material change that makes things better for everyone (which will probably help change many conservatives view of what is OK/good).

This is not a “by any means necessary” thing, it’s a “use what levers you have access to” thing.

Heh, yeah, that was a bit of a brain fart coming from electrically controlled brakes in ICE cars. I do think there needs to be a mechanical backup though.
