You can install whatever plug you want on your device - as long as it also has a USB-C plug on it too. So if you come up with a truly revolutionary new plug and the market at large adopts it, then the…

That thing being listening to the citizens living within EU borders who don't want gatekeepers like Apple & Google fucking them over with no recourse? Y'know, the market you've ment…

Most of my EU friends would absolutely never install a separate Meta store to install WhatsApp, they'd just switch to Signal or Telegram, which lots and lots of people have been doing of late. I …

My comment will seem a bit rude, but do all of you guys just have idiots for inlaws? My parents are in their 70s now and are by no stretch of the imagination technical in any way, yet I've litera…

If the OS is so shit that a rootkit is so easy to get installed, there's bigger issues at play.

Could you link to like, a single one? Cause I can't say I've ever seen a single one in recent memory.

I found them okay, but then they really started pushing the useless AI crap and wouldn't let me unsubscribe from their spammy emails, so I dropped them completely Fuck off, Ivan from Notion, I do…
comment
I'd blow my brains out if I has to sit through 6 hours of useless meetings a week. I've found a singular Slack message at the start of the day more than enough for stuff like daily standups …
comment
Why is the OS not blocking those perms regardless of where the install comes from? I mean knowing Apple they'd probably make it so sideloaded apps break the phone more readily on purpose cause th…

... While humongous swathes of the population lose their jobs and livelihoods because of megacorps like M$ controlling the AI that replaces everyone, steals everything and shits out endless spam. But …
comment
The point of the discussion is to have a look at the possible future ramifications of the technology, so it's only logical to talk about future capabilities and not the current ones. Obviously …
comment
I wish the EU would grow some balls and tell Ireland to fuck off with their shenanigans of letting these companies get away with everything. Meta should be getting fined for every red cent they steal …
comment
Aw the poor little entity backed by the comically evil trillion dollar megacorporation :( If they can't manage to strike out deals with content creators despite having M$' coffers at their d…
comment
I've started just dropping out of meetings if I haven't participated in any of it for the last 10 minutes. If there's nothing for me to say or influence (and I am an opinionated and lou…

Wow we can opt out , how generous of the billion dollar entity controlled by M$ Training on anything should be an explicit opt- in process and they (and every other model out there) should be retrai…

I will never in my life comprehend how lobbying isn't just bribery with extra steps. The only distinction between bribing a cop to get out of a speeding ticket and a megacorp lobbying random poli…

People keep saying this about Japan here on HN, but the one article circulating is a random minister saying she supports AIs training for educational/statistical purposes, not an actual passage o…
comment
Yes, however you're not thinking of the bigger picture here. How are the executives and the shareholders supposed to afford their next superyacht if they're forced to pay their underlings mo…
comment
I can see a world where something like this works, if you implemented some caveats. - It has to be a low monetary amount, like a couple of bucks at most, though even this is tricky. People aren'…

If I was ruler of the world I'd outlaw all Marketers and Advertisers and subject them to a Ludovico Technique type of thing where they have to sit through inane, mind-numbing, mind-killing ads po…

comment
The only thing your peers want is for their labor to be respected by Trillion dollar mega-corporations like M$ that are pushing so that they may absorb anything and everything they can possible get th…
comment
I'm not an expert in the field, but is feeding the model its own output a good idea? Seems like it would only increase weights that are already present in the training data and make it harder and…

> In the history of the world only a single person has ever drawn fan art? That's a disingenuous take of my comment at best, the equivalent to my scenario is a bunch of unrelated individuals w…

comment
By that logic I can torrent movies and distribute them all I'd like as long as I call it "Generative Watching" or something like that. And OpenAI quite literally sells access to their m…

Wasn't ChatGPT trained on the entirety of Wikipedia? And probably millions of pieces of scientific literature, and arts, and movies and games and and and... Perhaps the hyperbole of the entire …

Do you really see no difference between someone drawing a piece of fan art and trillion dollar corporations stealing other people's works and reselling it for their own profit with no regards to …

And it parroting answers back at you from textbooks and papers that are most definitely in its training data, probably with the identical wording you're using, is proof to the contrary of it be…
