They are stating that the problem with AI is not that it is not human, it's that it's not intelligent. So if a non-human entity creates something intelligent and original, they might still be able to claim copyright for it. But LLM models are not that.

It's farmland, you see the plowmarks in front and in the back there are fields.

It has clearly been used as farmland already. And in most places where farming is common we could traditionally rely on rain, though I guess climate change is making everything funky.

There's no following of users in PieFed, so in that sense it's more like Lemmy.

The archive link should work?

I've been seeing Mike McCue and his projects around a lot, and listening to him quite a bit in !dot_social@flipboard.video, but I never really understood how he had the resources to do all his stuff.

He started Paper Software to make it possible to visually display 3-D information in web browsers and then sold the company to Netscape for $20 million in 1996.

In 1999 he co-founded Tellme Networks, a pioneering effort to create what had been described as a “voice browser” and make it possible to receive internet information via the phone. That company was sold to Microsoft in 2007 for a rumored $800 million.

Gosh.

This is a piece of alleged technology that is based on basic physics that has not been established.

That does sound like a problem.

I never managed to touch type on qwerty, so I guess I had nothing to lose in that sense.

I made the change in my late 20s, just before I started writing my PhD thesis. I figured if I was going to do a lot of writing, I might as well make it as efficient as possible.

I taught myself Dvorak. Didn't buy a new keyboard or anything, just practised a little every day in some app I installed on my computer.

Took me maybe a week before I switched to Dvorak full time, and maybe a week more before my writing was as fast as it had ever been on Qwerty. It's absolutely worth making the change.

As the headlins in the article I linked earlier kindly informs us, half of all active satellites are now from SpaceX. And it's increasing fast. If other companies enter the scene and start competing, the earth will be orbited by a shitload of useful satelites launched into space by billionaires with a penis complex.

Governments are supposed to provide services for their population. Some of these needs might justify launching satellites. It is not unproblematic, and I would rather see it being governed by an international organization, but at least it's being done on behalf of people.

Companies launch them to make a profit for the fat wallets of their stakeholders and CEOs.

They are not the same. Pretending they are is, as you so nicely put it, weird.

I'm glad they finally found a sustainable solution to the whole "Luigi Mangione is too popular" problem. What could possibly go wrong.

It's incredible it took them this long, considering how obvious it is. But good - it's nice to see at least one thing getting less and not more shitty for once, however tiny.
