here is a whole video on that exact topic

Aqua ➡️ eau is one of the explained examples 😁

That’s why i love the philanthropist Jeffrey Epstein /s

“Astroturfing” as if Lemmy is popular enough to have any of that yet

Issue is that local AI hog vram, are slow and small models. Or if you don’t have a compatible GPU, it uses the CPU which is even slower.

If AI is the future, I really hope it’s local, but with the equipment people have at home, local AIs are a non-starter.

IMO it’s enough to justify not shipping those AI features at all but I guess that’s where FF execs disagree.

Anything not to use Chinese model huh. Aren’t Mistral’s models woefully outmatched by literally everyone else in the AI field, by every metrics?

That makes it funnier ngl

True but he probably thought he had big enough of a name to lead his own department as he pleased

this comment feels very reminiscent of the recent “if it was opt in nobody would opt in”

Why?

I tried Linux multiple times (out of curiosity / contrarianism I guess) until Windows pissed me off enough, while the Steam Deck proved I could reliably run games with minimal tinkering (frankly not any worse than what I had to do on windows).

So I made the jump, and I have not looked back

My issue isn’t with Rust as a language at all, I quite enjoy making my projects with it. My issue is with “Rust rewrites” of GPL software, only to have those rewrites be licensed under MIT/Apache. To me it signifies that these rewrites were never about the safety features of Rust, but that they are attempts at pushing out the GPL

Rust often ends up just being an excuse to rewrite software with corporate-friendly licenses without copyleft. That’s not necessarily true though, Lemmy itself is Rust & licenced under AGPL

I love rust, but I absolutely hate how it’s used to jam MIT licenses where GPL belongs. Maybe it’s time we consider using corpos tools against them, and use an AI to rewrite GNU utils to Rust, so that people can continue contributing to Rust while not feeding corps?

Edit: Though licensing AI software is iffy at best, you’ve got to own the copyright to something to licence it: Non-human productions are legally non-copyrightable. Also it might be better to just have humans do it anyway. The intent of my message was just that maybe we ought to deprive MIT-licensed projects from FOSS-motivated developers by providing Rust GPL alternatives to MIT/corporate Rust projects

China literally just put out an open weight model that verifiably beats the unverified Mythos claims in some scenarios; the reality is that they most likely want the US to “win” the AI race (which they cant, closed models will always be beat by open weight, which is what China is doing)

They’re already on shaky finances, having an export ban would just pop the bubble sooner (and what remains of the US economy along with it)

Didn’t the boston tea party start because they lowered the price of legally imported (and thus taxed) tea, undermining smugglers?

They are scaling up but as with other things they will most likely scale to their inner market first, and then I doubt they’ll subsidize a price depreciation to help westerners when they can get the profits for themselves

But did you think about China Bad™?

Not only is AC rare, but new apartments aren’t always equipped, and some countries literally forbid AC installations (Switzerland) in the name of energy savings (which means people then buy those terrible mobile units, which are way less efficient)

I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.

Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?

People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructions, now they have a machine that will slop their instructions into some result – any result – and even engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking, even for the most minute task
