It's hard to read stories about Supreme Court cases because everything is an appeal of stay of a freeze on an injunction on a ban.

Thanks, Jimmy D. I was bummed out about AI stealing everyone's livelihood. But realizing that it is likely to steal your livelihood first really cheered me up.

"While the name itself is now public, the features of Ubuntu 26.04 remain under wraps."

Reporting that there's no real news yet is still not real news.

Like they say: fake it till you make it! And then continue faking it, for the service you have chosen to provide is lying.

I'm sure there's enough asterisks on this particular case to render it completely useless for demonstrating any larger economic trends.

That said, I've never found it easy to believe that it's cheaper to have workers in the Eastern Hemisphere mold your noxious plastic gewgaws, load them into a shipping container, truck them to the depot, load them onto a train, chugga-chugga-chugga them to the port, crane them on a floating steel island, diesel them across ninety degrees of latitude, past pirates, through toll gates owned by rent-seeking oligarchs, past another container ship jammed in the canal sideways, and then do it all in reverse on the other end, than it is to pay some American putz $7.50 an hour. But I guess it must be?

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Big Tech told kids to code specifically to suppress wages in the tech sector. This program is working precisely as designed. That they now have AI to suppress wages with further is just a bonus to them.

From Wikipedia: "Roslansky left college in his sophomore year to focus full time on a company he and two roommates created."

Traditional politics aside, ChatGPT is taking over on college campuses and the teachers are reportedly just rolling over and taking it, if not actively promoting it. Of what possible value, on any axis, can an education consisting of typing into a text box, and copying the results from another text box, be? Well, maybe typing speed will improve. Handwriting should theoretically improve, too, but I bet it hasn't.

That's not how copyright works! That's not how any of this works!

Joke's on you, Sarcastey. Through a cutting-edge, proprietary prompt-sculpting technology called "Find and Replace with Escape Sequences/Word Wrap Off", they were able to put all million characters of the prompt on a single line.

Logging in to a computer under someone else's credentials is widely held to be a violation of the US Computer Fraud and Abuse act.

So the summary is dumb and weirdly evasive, so I skimmed the article. There's a shot of two dudes getting married to each other and whoever the censors are used AI to make one of the dudes a woman. Chinese viewers are, according to the article, actually increasingly tolerant of same-sex relationships, and so they are insulted by the switcheroo.

When I read "horror movie edited for Chinese audiences", I thought maybe they had put some skin back on a skeleton, because (and this may be outdated by now) skeletons are tantamount to blasphemy in mainstream Chinese culture.

Replying to undo accidental downvote. I agree with you! On this occasion.

Translation of the translation: It will be retrained to promote Trump's agenda and suppress viewpoints that oppose it.
