Have you tried a patch cable‽

Louis Rossmann's 20-minute rant on needless cloudification of shit incoming in 3.. 2.. 1...

Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU. (mullvad.net)

Under the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been...

Nothing and I mean nothing will kill this faster than some leaked chats, emails, and browsing history of a few politicians.

Pichai & Co would totally have blocked videos if Hitler demanded it back during WW2. They should embrace their new motto - "Anything for a buck!"

Grow a pair, you spineless shits, and stop kowtowing to brutal dictators!

I'm not your buddy, guy!

Nice try, Nick.

You don't need AI to figure out why people go to a T-Mobile store.

Option A: your service sucks, and the hold time on the phone is over 2 hours.

Option B: the glass sandwitch that you sold me cracked because I looked at it funny, and the fucking manufacturer won't honor the warranty because they didn't get enough of my money.

"AI is nowhere near to being ready to replace you at your job. It is, however, ready enough to convince your boss that it's ready to replace you at your job."

Looks like you can self-host OpenTalk too: https://gitlab.opencode.de/opentalk/ot-setup

Aruba S2500-48P. Picked up a used one for $130 on eBay 4 years ago, and it's been solid in my rack. 48 PoE 1GbE ports, and 4 10GbE SFP+ ports. At that price what more could you ask?!

chahk ,

You mean Cortana which was a rebrand of Clippy.

Alrighty then. If corps want to train their AI on all the content they can scrape without worrying about copyright, then they can't complain when I torrent their shit without worrying about copyright too! Deal? Somehow I don't see them taking that deal.

chahk ,

And these racks usually start with "I found this super cheap rack server on eBay" and not an actual need.

Hey! I resemble that!

Amazon- and Google-backed AI firm Anthropic says “general-purpose AI tools simply could not exist” if AI companies had to pay licences for the training material (www.computerweekly.com)

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) company Anthropic has claimed to a US court that using copyrighted content in large language model (LLM) training data counts as “fair use”, however....

I agree with you on principle. However... How long do you think it will be until these very same "AI" companies copyright and patent every piece of content their algorithms spew out? Will they abide by the same carve-outs they want for themselves right now? Somehow I doubt it.

They want to ignore the laws for themselves, but enforce them onto everyone else. This "Rules for thee but not for me" bullshit can't be allowed to pass. Let's then abolish all copyright, and we'll see how long these companies last when everyone can just grab their stuff "for learning".

A bit off-topic, but I'd be fine with that. The more mind-numbingly dumb work that computers can do for us, the less time we have to spend doing it ourselves. Administrative jobs holders disagree with this, but so did every person whose job and livelihood was replaced by automation, ever. UBI (universal basic income) is the only answer that will save all of us from starvation when automation eventually replaces us too.

You're Not Imagining It: Google Search Results Are Getting Worse, Study Finds (gizmodo.com)

For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.

chahk ,

Google has not been interested in providing value to end-users for a while now. They are at the point in the enshittification process where because of their monopoly in search, they are able to stop providing value to their paying customers as well (sites that use AdWords, etc.) and just line their own pockets.
