Oh this is a funny topic; I just found myself looking for a decent music player on linux like a month or so ago and the situation was... disappointing . The nicest looking one I could find was amberol, but that was a bit too minimalistic

Cyberpunk meets opium wars... Actually sounds like a not so bad setting for a book/game/movie ngl; sure sounds like a garbage setting for a world to actually live in.

Same here; I'm all for a "ban" but it doesn't have to be all social media, just force them to use a simple rules-based algorithm for minors. But meh, it's a broader issue anyway. Just look at the puritanical obsessi

With cookies disabled I get a blank website, which is a massive red flag and an immediate nope from me. Can't imagine someone incapable of building a website would deliver a good (digital) product.

You can tell I'm European, but I think in this case, at the time when consumers accepted these conditions they might not have had any way of understanding the ramifications, so effectively there is no informed consent. In other words

I wouldn't count on the US anymore, considering today's political climate. But in theory, EU+US could probably make a very compelling argument to China that if all three agree to play nice, nobody gets an advantage because of it,

> Even if you can enforce this somehow This is super simple to enforce. For starters, we only really care about the companies developing big commercial AI products, not the people running said models on their home PCs or anything along

If you could separate the information from the intellectual property, sure; but if the model is also capable of generating a similar article, that's the point where it starts infringing on the IP of all the authors whose articles were

Then they are stealing people's content and imho should be punished for it. It is baffling that we let companies get away with "if you don't opt out you agree" or even "you can't opt out, delete your account or

Indeed; this is like stealing the icemen's ice to fuel refrigeration. If some technology makes your job (partly) obsolete, too bad for you. But you shouldn't be forced to contribute to this technology against your will.

My opinion continues to be that AI companies should have to prove that they have consent to use any and all data their models are trained on. That is, be able to prove a) that their models were actually trained on the data they claim, b) th

What you need to understand is that what you are frustrated about isn't you being treated unfairly, it's something that was given to you unfairly in the first place now being yanked away again. That "disproportionate" co

> China wants peaceful reunification But this isn't true though; China wants a one-sided reunification at all costs and would prefer if it was peaceful. Fun fact: All countries that invade others would generally have preferred a pea

I love the irony, but also wonder if businesses will ever realise their treatment of their employees is creating this attitude.

No, it's the opposite, actually. Friends don't compete, they cooperate. Turning cooperation into competition is how you execute a divide and conquer strategy. If a group is too strong, you convince them that they are each other&#x

"need", as in can't do without, no. People survive without friends. It's a miserable life though; for one, not everyone even has a romantic partner, and even for those who do, being 100% dependent on one person is incred

People having friends sucks because, while you can shove products in between them, you can only sell them at a price justified by the value they add to the friendship, not the value of the friendship instead. People would be willing to pay

I'm pretty sure it's the opposite, and the rise in autism diagnoses is almost entirely people who overall function well in society and wouldn't have been diagnosed in the past. So to me it would be very surprising if the rati

As a vivaldi user, this reads a bit strangely to me; do other browsers not support RSS anymore? Surely at least firefox does, right?

Very powerful rule of thumb: If someone wants to build a Utopia by colonizing a new space that just so happens to be outside of any country's juristiction, 999 times out of 1000 they are trying to build a tech-dystopia. The reason for

Nice, hope they buy more European stuff instead, at least until they manage to just produce the same stuff within China, which they likely aim for already.

More and more I am coming to hate the term "tech elites"; it playes into the lie that these people have, themselves, any sort of "elite" status in the field, rather than the reality that they are just wealthy owners of b
