@sun A couple years ago I found out my dad took lsd and had a mental breakdown before he started dating my mom. Before that he was in a rock band and apparently smoking pot all the time. I had known he was in a band. He is a very good guitar player and still plays sometimes. I never would have guessed he used drugs when he was young.
@sun@j Musk provided some of the initial seed money for openai. If openai was a for profit company from the beginning, Musk's stake would be worth a ton of money. Altman is about to do a deal with himself to become a billionaire. Musk is absolutely correct to call Altman a swindler.
@sun A few questions. What is the quality of this service vs lexis nexis? How many government employees actually need "up-to-the-minute, detailed reporting on policy decisions?" Shouldn't they be getting those from their coworkers who actually make these policies? Also, how many right-wing news services got anywhere near the same level of government support?
I think we already know the answers to all these questions.
@sun@i@matrix The model I've seen is to release the game on modern platforms, but then also sell a retro cartridge for those who want it. That is the release strategy for the new angry video game nerd nes game.
@sun Right-wing books are shunned by major publishers and banned by Amazon. The ALA doesn't care. But someone thinks a book is inappropriate for children? Book banner! Nazi! How dare they!
@xianc78@beardalaxy@matrix A big plus with open source is that we can fork if we need to. Forking comes with a lot of challenges, but the option is a big plus over proprietary systems.
