Who among us doesn't have persistent dreams of abandoning society, running for the hills, and becoming off-grid farmers?

Having "pro-PKK views" (or for other groups designated as terrorists for that matter) is not against the law in the US as that is a first amendment right (as long as that speech is not support).

A variant of this but taking place on an O'Neill Cylinder would be amazing. I've always been captivated by the idea of the horizon curving up in front of you.

There needs to be some sort of penalty for filing frivolous DMCA notices.

Is there any indication or proof that they are providing services to PKK? Equating supporting protest organizers in the west with supporting an armed terrorist group is laughable and dangerous.

People enjoy living in cities, at least some of us do. Personally the thought of everyone living on their own personal homestead manned by robots sounds really boring and lonely?

Yeah, basically this. People have been calling themselves Antifascist, but only the right-wing calls it "Antifa". Literally anyone carrying a sign at a protest that says "Reject Fascism" is an antifascist. Those are the

It's not a loosely organized group, it's a label applied (by the right) to many different groups with little to no coordination operating in entirely different places

If the US government can designate their ideological opponents as terrorists without due process or any real justification, then nobody is safe.

What the US government is doing here is a perversion of justice. Anyone running web services critical of those in control of the US government should be extremely concerned.

In Boston we have a 311 app and I've taken to reporting every single bike lane obstruction I can find when walking about. I don't bike myself anymore after an accident last year in a bike when I was hit by a taxi. Things are defin

I'm worried that any ban on Chinese AI models might be an excuse to get mass surveillance.

I love this emerging "3D pixel art" trend. Stylized graphics always age better than realistic. And it definitely has more charm

The Catskills have those environmental protection laws because they are the water source for NYC. It would be very stupid to relax those to build data centers.

Yes but let's not pretend this isn't a new interpretation.

Moving to the Cloud proved to be a pretty nice moneymaker far faster and more concretely than AI has been for these companies. It's a fair comparison regarding corporate pushes but not anything more than that.

Some people really do hate AI, it's not entirely about the layoffs. This is a well insulated bubble but you can find tons of anti-AI forums online.

Couldn't you just say that language is just one of many avenues of thought, instead of being the only way?

I keep thinking I need to get into some new AI topic like MCP, but then my procrastination pays off when it becomes outdated not even six months later.

In hindsight, the previously scientific conception that Humans were somehow different than animals and that we don't have things like instincts comes across as incredibly foolish and not a little bit conceited.

It's good to have competition, but they're a fair bit behind SpaceX and it's hard to see them catching up without a lot of investment.

I'm a bit worried how invasive and toxic this could end up in ~10 years when OpenAI needs to push profit more.

We're not talking about famine, we're talking about people living in poverty? What's your argument here? That because nobody dies of malnutrition we don't have true poverty?

I can definitely see a situation where a renting single-earner six-figure household in a place like SF may require assistance. It's all about the relative cost of living and financial situation, you can't really make ground pronou
