this is confusing, how many licenses that are "NonCommercial" are mainstream Free/Open source? From what I've seen they're deffo a minority anyway.

Thought inspired by some git on the red site, basically their premise was that birthrates are declining because we no longer have a society with a 2-parent nuclear family with one "breadwinner".

Here's my counterproposal to the implied idea we need to implement The Handmaid's Tale:

Ban contraception and abortion but if you get pregnant, there is no stigma to giving birth out of wedlock. The delivery is safe and paid for, and should you wish, the child will be reared in state-funded orphanages. These institutions will be receive more than adequate funding. Their charges will be given preferred entry to the best schools and universities, as well as preferential treatment when it comes to future employment. It will be illegal to discriminate against anyone so raised.

Surely this will raise the birthrate, right?

How often is section 28g of the civil code of Switzerland invoked?

It's still a SLAPP suit. Palantir has massively more PR resources, and if they wished to actually respond to the content of the Republik piece, they could do so.

What they are doing is trying to send a message to future reporters - report negatively on us, and we will make it very very expensive for you to respond to legal challenges.

OTOH is a huge self-own. Reporters live to get attacked by giant faceless corporations. No-one outside a small section of the Swiss reading public would have even heard of this story before Palantir decided to go nuclear.

Just a thought...

Imagine if China and North Korea bombed the White House, killed the president and most of the cabinet, and shot missiles at primary schools. Would you go out on the street and demonstrate in favor of the Chinese Communist Party and Kim Jong-Un, and expect to be heard and taken seriously?

Somehow brown people in other lands are supposed to be avid readers of wingnut welfare papers and have their worldview 100% aligned with Lindsey Graham and Bibi Netanyahu...

fuck yeah! congrats!

Marcus is just critihyping like mad. He actually believes LLMs in DoD will lead to Skynet, instead of a bunch of probably avoidable targetting mistakes

That's such a weird comment... like "worried about hurricanes" - the first idea is to pour literal oil on the water????? in what world does that scale??? then it concludes with "maybe don't build fragile buildings in hurricane areas" - lead with that you pillock

I feel I'm stepping into some long-forgotten debate on LW on alignment or something because there's so much that doesn't make sense in context

Russian empire...

Wasn't the Anschluss greeted with rapture by many Austrians? Ofc they thought they'd be runnign the show there afterwards...

pretty sure they're thinking of a Reich of some sort...

couldn't happen to nicer guys

edit I don't really care one way or another, this current administration is off the rails, but it will be amusing seeing the Rat crowd run around in a panic

it's funny b/c management consultants live for applying the same cookie-cutter methods for different businesses - in a way they're the OG LLMs

but the real business is sales - you need to get your expensive consultants embedded into an org so they can start invoicing. And for sales focussing on "AI" is perfect, b/c the companies big enough to be able to pay are also the ones run by the same sort of MBAs who are pushing "AI" everywhere else
