So you forgot when Netflix was funding the Biden fascism machine?

Honestly, yeah, I do. When was this, and what was the pro-fascist action?

We need a right-winger billionaire to balance Soros

You've got plenty. Publicly known support from home-grown billionaires (this omits foreign actors like MBS giving billions to his family, donations to 501c3s, "partnerships", his shitcoin bribe pipeline, and any quiet bribes be haven't heard about yet):

Netflix is, eh, what it is. But at least it isn't owned by the fine minds that brought you Oracle licensing behavior and is fully on-board with the Project Fascist America.

Microsoft famously tried to lean on Apple to kill it.

Anyone who has a temper-tantrum like this over getting fired shouldn't have been allowed near systems in the first place.

Anyone working in IT who isn't at least aware of the layers of surveillance at any reasonable sized shop is terrible at their job.

And simply as a matter of competence, anyone who does something like this without a plan ("Muneeb Akhter also allegedly asked an artificial intelligence tool for instructions on clearing system logs after deleting a database") is a fucking moron.

The claim is they used CF-ABS with a transition temperature of 105C, but that pretty clearly seems to not have been the case.

The douchebag putz looks almost healthy there.

Like I said, I usually "find content" on Youtube by someone else embedding it in something they wrote. I don't generally browse it without a reason. Occasionally I'll use the search for something specific, although lately that works better on Kagi.

There is no practical way to do that. Seriously.

In order to do it properly you'd need to have a process similar to declassification redactions, where a human can reason about real-world context. And you'd need a lot of bodies to do that to 20M chats in any reasonable amount of time.

"De-identification" automation can sometimes give you a dataset that by itself is anonymized. You really need structured input data for that, though, and the real problem is that there are frequently ways to "enrich" an anonymized dataset by finding other datasets you can join it to.

And here we're talking about freeform chats with multimodal inputs, those tools really can't cope with that sort of thing.

Further, the "enrichment" for this sort of thing could be weird. I could theoretically have described a situation to ChatGPT that didn't have identifying names/numbers in it, but that you could recognize, thus outing me. There's no way to redact that sort of thing.

So you're sad that people you don't like, don't like your idol.

Just go buy some new vaporware feature from him, or maybe he's selling in-car robot porn or something.

I'm sure it will make you feel better.

Or more specifically, to own your digital artifacts and identity.

Making you authenticate to the mothership makes it far easier to:

- surveil everything you do on your machine and over the network
- progressively make it harder to save files locally - they really want your data in Onedrive
- add metered billing for certain features
- and of course record details about how you respond to ads, which is the ultimate goal of every software company now

I understand some folks use them as a TV substitute, so in that case I get it.

But for casual users, why? I mostly view videos embedded on other sites, no account needed. Sometimes I'll run a long video in a different tab to listen to an interview or something, still no account needed. I see no reason to care about being logged in.

If this is them "adding value to the logged-in experience", yeah, still no reason.

A vocal minority in the US has pretensions of aristocracy, and a lot of awfulness flows from that.

Most of the south actively suppresses labor and wages with the direct goal of being "good for business" - e.g., cheap labor with no recourse or way out.

Now we also have people like Musk and Theil all but openly demanding an end to any political power for anyone but them.

There's a reason guillotine T-shirts are selling well, and there is a certain segment of society that should take it a lot more seriously than they currently are.

This convinces me that education is in crisis. But on the bright side, illiterate morons like this apparently want to pretend they can read and take meaningful part in society, so there's still hope that, one day, maybe cretins like this will learn to reason.

Hey, howbout let's reclassify that Waymo robot as a food processor and handle two stupid things at the same time.

He also questioned the accuracy of First Street's data, saying he didn't think that areas which haven't flooded in the last 40 to 50 years were likely to flood in the next five.

What he really means is "there are a lot of doomed properties we can make one more commission on."

If I'm being uncharitable, he can of course make me a fool by insuring buyers' flood risks for 5 years.
