I think he just gets really angry when people aren't paying attention to him.
Remember when miners were trapped in Thailand and he sent a submarine that couldn't help after they told him not to? He abandoned it there and called the rescue team a bunch of pedophiles

"Cloudflare will have training and agent bots blocked by default on pages that display ads,"

I'm glad they care enough to bother at all, and it's a good sign they are willing to sell the idea as valuable - but it's funny to me that they would allow bots to train on pages that do not have ads

@patrickcmiller
This looks overblown to me. What threat model do they suggest this for?

Disable connecting to random unencrypted Wi-Fi and you're good. 2g is already disabled and every network you connect to is going to record your mobile ID because that's how they decide if you get to use it or not.

I've been to a place near Seattle called Mox Boarding House. They have a bar and sell board games and you can check out games to play at the bar. They have escape rooms too.

It's all very dapper and flapper.

"Hussein said he was in disbelief that he was told to convert or leave — for the first time in his life — at a Republican convention with the tagline, "Unity drives victory." "
Like, what do people think they are signing up for when they want to be a Republican?

"If you're going to embrace the values and the teachings that you're advocating for, there's no place in America for you. That's not assimilation. That's taking over."
Holy shit, the fucking gall!

People might forget you exist if you couldn't use a phone for three months. And, three months of service dues just to download that...

Yeah, it took me about 5 years of lazy thinking to realize what the company name Intel really means

I think it's a good fit
those mn- words can be tricky though 🙃

@inthehands
I think you're right, they have cost goals to meet and "losing customers" wasn't considered appropriately when they made those goals. Either that or they already determined they will simply buy any remaining competitors soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meowdy is short for "meow do you do". Try it, you cat will thank you

RE: https://dice.camp/@artemis/116223267154733036

Isn't this precisely the entire fucking premise of this country's foundational story?

@malcircuit @jonne @thomasfuchs @peter
Well one difference is that he sends his whole work through at once and says "find errors" instead of looking for squiggles in the text as he goes, which sounds good to me because those squiggles distract me so much from actual writing.

Another is the training. Where's the data from? Did those people agree to provide it? How much energy did it take to train? I just don't know these things.

@malcircuit @jonne @thomasfuchs @peter
He's running olama on a local computer. I haven't looked into the the training for that model but if i was able to be convinced that there's an ethical model to use it might be that one.

So he's set up an AI at home. That's not "Big LLM", but it's also definitely not "anti AI", which a lot of his fans are

@jonne @thomasfuchs @malcircuit @peter
If I have been reading his complaints correctly Cory never hated AI unless it was burdening the user: i.e. "Reverse centaur"

I guess that's good enough to sell a lot of books because it is a "functionally smart" position with a little pushback against the AI trend, and not enough people in the media are willing to give us even that, but -my- problems with AI go deeper than the interface. I still consider it (attempted) intellectual theft and a sanitized interface for environmental destruction that provides results which are a lot less helpful than all the stuff that came before AI -- all the stuff they deliberately took away to make AI seem useful

(I recently stopped letting Cory in my feed after he started to share substack articles)

@skinnylatte @rainerzufall_le
I was in Berlin near an election, i want to guess about 2014, and there were racist and sexist campaign signs up all over the place with hand drawn graffiti to make them even worse, and at least once a large group of very loud men came to a public square to sing their sieg heils - to most people's disamusement at least. Still, it was very unsettling
I was there ten days and that happened where i was eating. I've never seen anything like that happen in forty plus years of living in the US

@thomasfuchs
I've seen that people are modifying these now, i think better screens and solid state drives for starters but i am not really an apple guy so i haven't looked that close. Sounds like these old iPods are really loved though
