But the year 2024 isn’t some sort of religious believe, it’s just that we picked the birth of Jesus as a starting point, and started counting from there. Any point in time could’ve been an epoch, just the current Gregorian calendar is so ingrained that it will be difficult to switch. Or is my understanding about this wrong?

Doesn’t it serve justice to the families and friends of the people who he has killed? I can’t imagine them feeling a sense of justice when their tax dollars are put to work to get this guy back into society.

Do you think the families of the victims prefer this as well? Personally I would think the death penalty would give those families closure once it’s done.

I’ve been reporting ads on Instagram as spam for over a year now. Every single ad I see gets reported. Occasionally I get a report that says the ad has been deleted.

How do you even report ads on Youtube? I’ve been seeing the same obviously fake Elon Musk ad for some AI trading tool, and still can’t figure out how to actually report anything.

I haven’t really picked a side, mostly because there’s just not enough evidence. NYT hasn’t provided any of the prompts they used to prove their claim. The OpenAI blog post seems to make suggestions about what happened, but they’re obviously biased.

If the model spits out an original article by just providing a single paragraph, then the NYT has a case. If like OpenAI says that part of the prompt were lengthy excerpt, and the model just continued with the same style and format, then I don’t think they have a case.

Absolutely, and that’s why OpenAI says the lawsuit has no merit. NYT claims that ChatGPT will copy articles without asking, were OpenAI claims that NYT constructed prompts to make it copy articles, and thus there’s no merit to the suit.

That’s what OpenAI insinuates in their post; https://openai.com/blog/openai-and-journalism

It seems they intentionally manipulated prompts, often including lengthy excerpts of articles, in order to get our model to regurgitate.

It sounds like they essentially asked ChatGPT to write content similar to what they provided. Then complained it did that.

Does that imply that any billionaire hunter / team is also fair game for the billionaires to hunt down? Sounds like a bad plan, where the billionaires can legally kill.

Same with leasing a car.

But shouldn’t it be up to individual users whether they want to interact with those people or not? I guess to take your example, unless you’re the instance admin, it’s not your house, and you’re just another guest…?

I suppose the counter argument is; go join an instance that don’t block them? But does that imply that those instances are also not federated in instances that do block Threads?

I understand that. I guess it bothered me because they still put their affiliate links in the description.

This was the video: https://youtu.be/ucj6yqsOwwo?feature=shared

I used to like Rebuild Rescue, it was just 30-45 min of him alone fixing a car. Now it’s endless content about trying to fix planes.

I’m glad Brad Leone recently got back on Youtube, one of my favourite people at Bon Appetit. But it’s not really the same vibe when he’s alone tho.

Maybe I’m just getting older, but the constant meming and lame jokes just doesn’t work for me anymore.

The last video I watched was about Steamdeck mods, their recommendation was pretty much; none of these are worth it. Why even make a video about it then….

I used to be one like 5 years ago, however, I know have a pixel+graphene phone, arch linux laptop and desktop, selfhosted storage and media server, basically the tech nerd setup.

You might get downvoted, because you make the implication that just owning Apple products equals being a fanboy. Many people seem to do this, when you own an Apple product, you’re automatically a fanboy, don’t know anything about tech, and agree with everything Apple does.

It’s perfectly fine to own Apple products, and still be aware of what they do and disagree with it.

I’m sorry but I don’t quite get it. Doordash is giving you “offers” that are so low, you’ll lose money on it. And instead of complaining to Doordash, you put it on customers to tip you more?
