Good first step, but this is so quintessentially EU. "You’d better not force our decision making, lest we wait for months! You’d better not keep at it then, or else we’ll come talk to you!! You’re still coercing us? We’re now strongly thinking about counter measures, one of them being actual leverage!!!

Probably too far out but I saw this on Lemmy recently as a response to HP’s subscription insanity: https://www.techspot.com/news/109674-open-printer-fully-open-source-inkjet-drm-free.html

Multibillionaire leeching off society.

Society collapses.

Multibillionaire: :o

Oh, woosh…

Do you have any screenshots? And is it the retail version or is it some early version? Retail’s supposed to only come out in October.

I mean, Sam Altman was literally throwing movie nights at OpenAI HQ with the movie “Her”. So either he didn’t get it or his copy conveniently ends at halftime.

Right. If I had dumped all my money into AI stonks and was overall deeply invested into silicon valley I’d sell the doomer story, too. Keeps the bubble alive.

Meanwhile the REAL threat of the AI hype, i.e. overburdening ecosystems with ridiculously hungry data centers and putting children’s sanity in the hands of a hallucinating sycophantic autofill can be entirely ignored because “AGI BAD SO WE MUST BUILD AGI”.

If you want it to really use a lot of energy on receiving your gratitude, sure I guess^^

Probably not a flash drive but you can get decent mileage out of 7b models that run on any old laptop for tasks like text generation, shortening or summarizing.

Response Type is decided by ChatGPTs new routing function based on your input. So yeah. Asking it to “think long and hard”, which I have seen people advocating for to get better results recently, will trigger the thinking model and waste more resources.

Don’t threaten, just do it. Enshittification must end.

The only reason we have mainstream paid video streaming now is because early Netflix was genuinely better than dodgy, pop-up riddled mirrors on movie4k.to. The convenience was well worth 8 bucks a month. Same for Spotify.

Fast forward 10 years and Spotify wants me to pay 15 €, scan my face and listen to forced podcast ads AND pay extra for paywalled audiobooks that used to be free? Meet my good old friend youtube-downloader, then.

What

Sure, keep inflating that bubble

I and at least two other people once called robots “tin cans” on social media. Can mashable turn that into a “news story”, too?

Pff, typical, everybody’s already copying Apple’s genius, revolutionary and totally original Glass UI.

Social media back then were also referred to as social NETWORKS. A network implies collaboration and interactivity, media are more linear, having a sender and a recipient.

So what’s the agreed-upon purpose of up- and down votes on Lemmy? Because I feel like the news of this clusterfuck of a bad business decision is technews-worthy and doesn’t deserve the downvotes.

This has become one of the major incentives of the scheme for staff; transferring to GendBuntu from a proprietary system means the staff member receives a new computer with a widescreen monitor.

Smart! What I wouldn’t do for new equipment…

As someone who was chronically constipated: A year’s supply of psyllium husks.

As someone who was overweight, depressed and had severe back pain, a yoga mat.

And you already know they’re gonna autogenerate audio-ads and product placements in these summaries as soon as people start using them.
