I hope you will have better standards soon.


!sanitation@lemmy.today, I notice that you post a lot of garbage like this post.


In this day and age, we need to appear drummer than AI.
Hey! He used a semicolon! AI generated!


Watch how quickly the US government will try to ban them in the name of security. They’ll claim that they transmit RAM data to the Chinese government 😛.


In my opinion, I just don’t understand permissive licenses. For example, with FreeBSD’s license, companies can essentially “steal” the hard-earned efforts and use them to enrich themselves. For example, FreeBSD could have been a gaming OS, as the PlayStation’s OS is FreeBSD. However, they didn’t give anything back to the community.
Copyleft licenses, on the other hand, require companies to contribute any changes they make to the code back to the community so that it benefits the community as a whole. In this case, there’s no “stealing”, companies need to respect the community’s efforts by giving back.
That’s my two cents anyway.


In my opinion, AI is here to stay. But OpenAI and Anthropic will suffer because companies realized that don’t need a Ferarri all the time, they can do with a Honda (Chinese open-source models) 90% of the time.


Don’t downvote him; he’s right. The next administration should fund Voice of America (VOA) and PBS to provide free information. The NYT is a for-profit organization.
Long before the internet, we had to buy newspapers. I don’t like it, but that’s the reality of business.


Chinese open-source models are becoming the norm. You don’t need the latest model from ChatGPT (e.g., a Ferrari) to complete your task. A simple Honda will suffice (open-source models), and it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.
Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.


Thank you for the PSA good friend!


And the fact that it is a debate tell you everything about the state of the world today… sigh


We should care, vibe coded projects are not maintainable.


I really feel sorry for the kids. I hope this techno bros schools trend doesn’t continue or our future generation is truly fuck*d.


I didn’t give them their own accounts but you can if you want to.


It does. My Immich installation is behind a reverse proxy, and I simply share the link to the albums with friends and family.


This article ISN’T AI slop.


When politicians are not beholden to lobbyists, they are truly serving the people because they have no conflicts of interest.


Wealthsimple Canada advertised that clients could buy shares at IPO prices, but they couldn’t sell their shares right away. Why would I do that?!?
I sit. It’s comfortable, and you don’t need to clean up any messes from splashback.


Doug Ford was not the mayor of Toronto. It was Rob Ford, his brother that was the mayor.
