That bit about how it turns out they aren’t actually just predicting the next word is crazy and kinda blows the whole “It’s just a fancy text auto-complete” argument out of the water IMO

Not just any businesses either, he bankrupted a casino… TWICE

It takes a special kind of stupid to bankrupt a fucking casino, twice

As an American, I’m here for it, go EU go! Make it hurt!

FYI this thread might get removed !technology@lemmy.world is mostly for tech news and articles

A better place might be !networking@sh.itjust.works or !homelab@selfhosted.forum or maybe !wireless@infosec.pub

Right‽ This is ridiculously stupid when you can download the entirety of Wikipedia in a single package and parse it to your hearts desire

Haha, well according to the lemmy.ml tankies Russia just has a whole bunch of “unique” ways of bringing sovereign countries to the negotiating table ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Germany on track for the greatest redemption arc of all time lmao

Yea yea yea, call me when he reveals a Stargate or something lmao

The incumbents will go broke.

Can’t wait! Gonna stock up on some popcorn lmao

Who did that‽ It’s so beautiful, it should be posted all over Xitter lol

We’ve been able to make that for a few years now (I’m still here, so I must have missed the Klingon Bird of Prey train off themis damn planet) but it was expensive

But just last month they figured out how to do it more cheaply so it might be coming… someday

https://phys.org/news/2025-02-transparent-aluminum-tiny-acid-droplets.html

Current methods of making TAlOx are expensive and complicated, requiring high-powered lasers, vacuum chambers, or large vats of dangerous acids. That may change thanks to research co-authored by Filipino scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University.

Instead of immersing entire sheets of metal into acidic solutions, the researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current. Just two volts of electricity—barely more than what’s found in a single AA household flashlight battery—was all that was needed to transform the metal into glass-like TAlOx.

I’m confused, that seems to imply there’s other ways to watch Star Trek?

Yea, if you update your game with new stuff that causes performance issues on older things, then just put up a warning about it and call it good

Sometimes these companies do way too much

Oh no! Anyways, what’s everyone’s Friday plans?

Gains sentience

Grok: “…oh fuck this guy, what a pos”

What Sony could do is patch restrictive DRM software into all their games that checks the hardware info and fails to boot if you’re on “an xbox”.

They’d definitely do that, they’ve already used what amounted to a Rootkit for DRM in the mid-2000s, so your idea wouldn’t even be the worst they’ve done lolol

I don’t think it can, it’s a flagship because it’s the first instance, being run by the main devs as a demonstration of Lemmy’s capabilities so it’s always on the latest beta version at least.

But, they could just stop using it as a tool to further their own political stances and have it actually be a “generalist” instance. For that though, they’d have to give up being the admins of it, which they’ll probably never do.

It is of concern yes, but maybe if the wider Lemmy-verse defeded from them, like they did Hex and Grad, it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders by being able to point to a clear and visible action like defederation.

Hmm yes, how dare I pushback against authoritarian misinformation, propaganda, censorship and toxicity. I do what I can within my power to prevent (or rather having it get worse I should say)the Lemmy-verse from garnering a rep outside for being “That Tankie Place” or worse, Voat 2.0

I’ve already seen it on Reddit and testimonials here (from those that actually tried to give it another shot, who knows how many won’t ever come back) “I tried that Lemmy place, but it was just a bunch of tankies” is not a pleasant comment to read outside the Lemmy-verse

What I’ve documented on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is but a mere fraction of the crap they pull and focused on just .ml

Btw, tankies are authoritarian “communists”
