I THINK ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE DOING ELECTION FRAUD

DUAL CITIZENSHIP EXISTS

LET ME MISS THE POINT EQUALLY HARD IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, OR AT LEAST HOPEFULLY SO

Good on him. All that drama can't be healthy in the long run.

I think I've seen that username on something posted on TechTakes before.

I don't wish ill upon my fellow tech sector workers, but frankly a backlash on the tech industry is long overdue. People have been mad at big tech before and so far it (thankfully) hasn't led to cataclysmic shifts in free software.

I feel like the original Free Software ethos of software freedom as moral obligation first and economic convenience second (if at all) might be more resilient to these kinds of field-shaping challenges than the more business model oriented Open Source ideology. That said, I don't expect the ongoing AI crisis to re-separate F and OS by name in popular or even tech industry consciousness.

Imagine being so bad Drew Devault of all people rightly calls you out on your toxic behavior.

Same guy earlier upthread

Public transit fares are generally malformed. I personally never pay the LA Metro fare. Why? Because I pay the Metrolink fare, which by their own admission covers same-day Metro transit. But police will actively seek me out as a person who looks like they have money and give me a hard time for not “tapping”, all while folks who very clearly have no money waltz on into the metro, stopping only to smoke crack on the elevator up. There’s a general problem in this country of what to do with law breakers who do not have money. It seems like the answer is to make them work and garnish their wages, but for whatever reason we are against that.

Yea the police are always giving such a hard time to people who don't look poor. It's so unfair that someone who can and does apparently pay for public transit has to prove they did.

A perfect memory which is infinitely copyable and scaleable is possible. And it’s called, all the things in nature in sum.

A map is not the territory, but every territory is, in a sense, a map of itself.

I can allow one (1) implementation of Doom on GenAI, in the spirit of the "port Doom on everything" stunt. Now that it's been done, I hope I don't have to condone any more.

I can't remember seeing an AI take on Bad Apple, but I assume the quota's already filled on that one ages ago as well.

Fuck, you beat me to the P(doom) joke. Well done.

Oh it's definitely comparable. See, I'll compare:

The visual quality of GameNGen is worse than that of the original game.
