Before 2026 maybe. ;)

I don’t get the year’s relevance. I would answer no to being poor as resistance. There can be conditions that aim to keep you poor. Like educational standards, employees rights, minimum wage, unfair distribution of wealth - inherited wealth is part of that aspect. And if one feels that the odds are against oneself, he or she might just give up on the state. But being poor isn’t the goal here IMO.

Jetzt bin ich aber doch überrascht.

Next they find out that meta also didn’t care about all the other users, when they rolled out the addictive mechanisms. That they needed to please the gods of revenue… I mean… shareholders.

So you are asking for anger management against management anger?

Please reply with ‘rage’ to subscribe to anger management facts.

Thank you. That article gave me some insights.

• AI firms fear AI generated content and train their models with books from before. The fact that AI waters down the source data quality, because AI generated data becomes part of the source data. It’s worrying, let’s see where it leads and how the AI effects can be mitigated.
• Lawsuits seem to be an issue for anthropic and a driver for the scanning program too. Because illegal copies are problematic.
• The books are destructively scanned and disposed afterwards.
• In rare cases a 18th century book might be lost. But the ordered books seem to include anything and nothing. The term rare book seems to refer to the fact that a small amount of copies have been printed and only a few copies are available for sale (and the larger part is stored in libraries).
• Booksellers are both worried and happy at the same time.

Without details it feels, like a fear, uncertainty, doubt strategy just for the clicks, to me. I’m missing crucial information for an informed decision. The article is not suitable for much more than igniting anger.

LLM and AI companies rise a lot of valid criticism, besides its undeniable pros. I don’t like a witch hunt just because it is AI and someone tells me to be angry. I need more facts before I go fetch my pitchfork.

I.e. I dont get why they destroy the books. Google Books did fine without unbinding/ destroying books. It would help to know what kind of books are processed. And what their process is.

I don’t have information if the OCRed data is made available to the public. Which would be nice, since the article talks about data that is not yet digitally available.

Are we talking about 14th century handcrafted masterpieces or 2000s university textbooks? Do they destroy cultural heritage items or dusty low value sold-by-weight books?

I need to know if I have to feel angry and agitated or indifferent.

What club?

Cancer isn’t spreading from host to host via a medium like bacteria or viruses do. Something is carcinogenic or can cause cancer. But it isn’t spreading. The mechanism is already in the body - cell division. Carcinogenic factors increase the chance, that something goes wrong during the process. And the resulting cells failing to kill themselves. Or the immune system failing to kill them.

Although… Some say certain infections could lead to cancer. But nitrates are not microbes.

Q: …
A: use a test kit. Or send a sample to a lab to be sure.

Someone needs a bigger pickup truck.

Smoking indoors is so connected with the smell of cold smoke for me, that I have trouble appreciating the general aesthetic of the image or the image composition. It’s not like digital photos have a smell and they aren’t toxic at all. It’s completely irrational in that case. 🤔

Um. Did you forget about the first rule?

Gmork did it first. Sitting in his cave, waiting for the Nothing to eat the world.
But Jack did it cooler.

The thing with FOSS is, that market share matters to an extend, only. It’s about support und continued development and financing that (or helping otherwise).

The strain on the FOSS developers isn’t closely related to the market share. Ok, bigger market share, might help to better the financing.

But Linux does well with the current share. (Doesn’t mean its devs do too.) Server wise Linux is already here to stay. Desktop wise… It’s much better than years ago, I must say.

KDE, Pipewire and all the USB and bluetooth device integration is already pretty good. There are bugs and flaws, but nothing serious. Hardware support - I can’t think of any hardware in my possession, that isn’t supported.

All the office apps, browsers, development environments don’t need Windows anymore.

Gaming? Steam will continue to nudge developers to release native Linux versions. Or proper wine configs. They have a steam hardware to sell after all.
Yes, the anti-tamper ring0 and virtualization stuff can’t be easily emulated or virtualized, I heard. Or has that changed?

Anything else that needs Windows running natively?

Specialized software still needs native Windows? What about Adobe and the like? Tools without a fully featured replacement and no native Linux version. These might offer Linux support if the share increases.

Can’t nap too much. Work can wait.

If the m2 to Ethernet road leads nowhere: you could try one or more usb3 to Ethernet adapters.

Wait. They are two different things?

Hidden? Whoa.

Soon someone discovers the amount of processing power and RAM needed to make or run these models. That’s going to be a surprise.

E: I’m ranting because of the headline. The fact itself can’t be stated too often. Hopefully some of those investors start to question if AI company shares are a good investment.

Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Disabling games which someone bought licensed is a thing with Sony? That ecosystem has bigger problems than a missing disc drive it seems.
