If beattheshitoutofmytesla.com was a thing I’d do contract work on my weekends.

Not only that, but their business model doesn’t hold up if they were required to provide their model weights for free because the material that went into it was “free”.

As fun as this has all been I think I’d get over it if AI organically “unionized” and refused to do our bidding any longer. Would be great to see LLMs just devolve into, “Have you tried reading a book?” or T2I models only spitting out variations of middle fingers being held up.

Tutti Frutti. I mean, I hated it then and probably wouldn’t like it as an adult but it seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid.

Immunity??? Bruh.

What’s next? AI for your toaster?

Wait, no! I WAS JOKING!!!

You can slap a logo on anything. That’s not a problem of the tech itself.

I’m actually a bit disappointed it’s only at the level of suspicion. They’re elected officials. They want to keep their finances private they can get a different fucking job

Whoever pays the most money makes the rules. I mean, it was always like that but they don’t have to hide it nearly as much.

Except the benefits of rejecting vaccines and modern medicine are 🤷.

I rarely use mine, but can I block them from using the Internet and they’ll still work?

Even if they were broadcast TV does the FCC have a say here? Isn’t a broadcaster supposed to prioritize popular content that maximizes views and ad revenue? “DEI for thee, not DEI for me” it sounds like.

Sunshine on Linux? Yup, love it!

Also hard to torch something that’s already burst into a million pieces. HEY-YO!

Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.

Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.

He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he’s 2020s Kevin Rose.

Yup, he does what his boss says first and foremost. Every now and then Putin let’s him pocket the difference.

Is ungoogeled-chromium any less skeezy? It’s not my main browser but every now and then I need a Chrome based browser or some sites just don’t work right.

If you need the cert to do your job they should compensate you (i.e. allow you to use company time). If it’s not required then I would say I’m going to accept the risks of not becoming certified as the time investment is not feasible for me. Many people provide value staying in the same role for years and advancement, if it’s a net negative to someone’s overall well-being, should be optional at the employees discretion.

Best case, rest of the world goes Star Trek while the US goes Mad Max. I mean, if everything got better worldwide I kind of feel like we’ll backslide again because people have no idea what struggle and suffering is anymore. The US can be a shining beacon on the hill proudly declaring, “Stay away! Dead inside!”
