yeah I use vp9 with opus for uploads by choice, it's great! YouTube serves vp9 but it always re-encodes my videos as AV1. Annoying. (I would upload as AV1 but the encoder is slooooooooow.)

What if, right, what if Roko's Basilisk responded to a prompt injection and blew up the WORLD, huh? What then ? That'd be pretty messed up! Back here in reality, please show me evidence that any AI agent deleted a single byte

The discussion around this topic is plagued with internet tough guy attorneys at LOL threatening Johannes Link with all manner of legal retribution. If that's not what you're doing, I look forward to hearing your action plan.

I'm seeing protesting AI fans and cheering AI haters. As far as I can tell, this is enhancing trust in the non-LLM users. Why would you think it wasn't?

> no one will use your tools anymore. pretty obviously, no one who he's stated repeatedly he doesn't want to use the tool will use his tools any more. But there are more coders in the world than ardent AI users.

author of Pivot to AI here. The impacts are local, but real bad for those localities. Also, the fact that the AI hyperscalers will sue to keep the usage secret isn't something they're doing 'cos the usage looks good .

Openshot is alive and well and actively developed, but it's still buggy as hell. I use it 'cos it's super simple and so easy to use, but e.g. I use a specific daily build 'cos release 3.5.1 broke libopus again.

That's the TOS for the broader Microsoft Copilot, not for the GitHub one, which has its own TOSes (depending whether your last renewal was before or after March 5) that don't include the "entertainment" wording. But one

Bluesky growth spurts are always when Musk or (less frequently) Zuckerberg step on their dicks again and more people come over from their services. In between are slow declines.

A relay or appview needs a ton of resources. Blacksky finally created the second ever real-world usable appview instance after 2.5 years. Also, the open source version of the appview doesn't work at Bluesky scale. You need a propri
