.ml is garbage lead by legit garbage people. But, open source means we can take lemmy code made by garbage people and repurpose it for good. Unfortunately it seems like Lemmy image is forever stained by those people and the network will never be adopted by normal people fully.

People hating on this but as someone who codes on the road I’d legit buy it if not the price tag. The vertical space is incredible!

That will never happen because it costs resources to pursue infringement.

Maybe if we eventually reach the stage where AI is basically running all law related issues so everyone can afford it? But if that happens then we’re already in a post-copyright world.

Sorry but I don’t follow. What do you mean?

The entire idea of “restricting information” to protect investments of investors is fundamentally flawed. There’s no way to do that other than is brute force (what we do right now by just bullying people who do it) and good luck brute forcing billions of free data streams from billions of people, some coming from jurisdictions you have no control over. The critical mass has been reached.

What are they going to do? and I mean this as a legitimate questions as someone with a computer science degree. There’s no technical solution and there’s no political solution. The last grasps of these LLM lawsuits are just last chances to grab some free lawsuit money. It’s done. Game over copyright.

I genuinely don’t understand people defending copy right on Lemmy. It’s a bad system that’s made for wealth hoarding. Out of 1,000,000 copyright conflicts only 1 them protects actual people. The rest 999,999 is there to hoard wealth for the rich.

It’s good that Llama was trained on copyrighted stuff even if you hate Meta and Zuckerborg.

Yeah I doubt it tbh. I loved my time with stackoverflow and it landed me jobs and friends but I’m quite bullish when it comes IT and AI. It’s not replacing devs yet but definitely replacing q&a, debugging tools, code reviews etc already/soon.

I hope we’ll have some open social coding experience like SO but trends seem to point towards more private stuff like coaching, bookcamps, shitty discord servers etc. as that’s the only thing that can be funded sustainably.

Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world. I’d take 300k/usd year and all of the benefits too. Let’s stop pretending that traditional companies are somehow better so you either don’t work for any corporation or actually work for one that provides incredibly benefits to you so you have the luxury to give back and steer the ship towards good a little bit.

Personally, I wouldn’t but this is the reasoning most employees have when joining Meta.

I had 40k points on SO though I no longer contribute. Stackexchange is basically dead because it’s a for-profit with very poor direction and LLMs basically made the entire thing obsolete relative to the monetary growths it needs to be sustainable. Understandably they can’t attract any attention like this as they’re 🤏 from going under.

I feel a bit sad for stackexchange but they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think stackexchange has their days numbered tho so this is realy not all that relevant. Give them a year or two tops

I think OP might have meant Corning as the “tea company” as there was viral tiktok on this subject of user exploring what their tea cup/glass maker is up to. Though I can’t recall the exact details so take my word with a grain of salt.

One famous example is Corning which mostly does kitchenware and then also huge military contracts for military equipment. But then of course every single US company takes on military contracts from Ford making engines to Singer making sewing machines and guidance systems during cold war lol

So OP is absolutely right. American companies will dip into everything that makes money which is really not a problem tbh and that’s how capitalism is intended to function just a bit funny given that one company makes kitchenware and bullet proof glass for mil vehicles.

Calling Tencent a “web and gaming giant” is really deceiving here.

It’s one of the biggest tech conglomerates in the world. Tencent invest into literally everything: games, social networks, entertainments, cloud computing, finance, AI, other investments… Tencent owns WeChat, Tencent Cloud, Tencent Healthcare just to name a few and helps CCP with surveilance and censorship through these ownings (tbf they don’t really have a choice, they’re based in China)

100% they are involved in military too so this classification is very much justified.

my puppet is in power — everyone be nice now.

China is basically winning geopolitics and they know that all they need is to keep things as is.
