I’d agree with you if you mean that what has been marketed as AI to us is inherently bad. That said the word AI has been misused so much that is basically has no meaning. I’ve known researchers who have used things that can be called AI for really important research and it could run on a high end computer from 10 years ago. The externalities of that are quite minimal to what we gain. We really need to find language to discuss AI where when we talk about Big AI we’re not also dragging the proven, and efficient models which are nearly AI but not quite into the discussion.

My dude anything is possible when you gatekeep information. You’re defending making child sexual abuse material (SCAM).

This is what the entire case was sort of about, and also explicitly not about. Does it harm children and the answer was the first amendment. That’s not really an answer. Honestly this isn’t a problem for the courts to figure out it’s a legislative problem and good luck with that.

My personal opinion, no one should be able to create any sexualized content of children regardless of whether or not it’s AI generated, authentic CSAM, hand drawn art, or anything else. Children should not be sexualized, I can’t believe this is up for debate.

Hard drives are so expensive I’m considering buying a 2U chassis and using old drives to expand my NAS as opposed to replacing small drives with larger ones. The only thing holding me back is the effort and the noise.

Actually they can sue you. Anyone can sue anyone else over anything. It’s whether the lawsuit or not has any merits and will be carried on is what decides that. If you have a lot of money and want to fuck over a poor person sue them for nothing. The poors still have to spend all their money defending themselves against nothing or else they’re in contempt of court and you get the satisfaction of destroying them financially forever. No crime, but the poors still get punished.

I get what you’re saying. It’s a both are true type of thing in my opinion. Our impact pales in comparison to the ultra wealthy. What gets left out of the conversation is that the AI data centres, factories, and transport trucks exist because there is demand. Each and every one of us is part of that demand and by significantly changing our lifestyles we can change our demands.

Your argument is valid though, the wealthy need to be the first to reduce their demand and by the most. Also that they’re not going to do that without the threat of state violence, just like we’re obligated to be lawful on the threat of state violence. It’s just that we’re not absolve of our contribution to climate change because the ultra wealthy have contributed more.

I had the same problem with a toilet. I replaced the chain with a rod made from thick copper wire I had leftover. Works like a charm, doesn’t get jammed open anymore.

Because they’re in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don’t have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It’s just a pissing contest and unfortunately they’re really careless

Yup, can attest. It sucks. Unless the application is listed on our approved app list I can’t even request it. Let alone the months it can take IT to get around to installing it for me.

Not only that but Toyota as an example does a lot to localize their products. So for example, a Toyota built in the Northern parts of North America will have better winterizing. Whereas a Toyota built in a coastal area like much of Japan will be resistant to salt water spray.

While OP is trying to imply that Toyota is selling crap to American’s because they think Americans are so stupid they’ll never noticed, the fact is that a car built for Japan will not last as long in America as a car built for Americans.

Well as a subordinate who is given illegal orders they’re kind of fucked there’s no good choice so that’s why it was so important for commanders to only issue legal orders. So they don’t put their men in a bad legal situation.

If a solider doesn’t follow the command they’re given probably going to be found guilty of insubordination, regardless of whether it is illegal or not. They’ll probably be called a criminal, lose all the benefits that come from service, or possibly be executed according to this administration.

If a soldier follows illegal orders like these then they can be charged as war criminals and executed.

The ONLY way to be able to refuse illegal orders is to have an enormous amount of support from other soldiers and the judge advocate General’s office. Which are resources your average soldier doesn’t have. Yes the Uniform Code of Military Justice says following illegal orders is illegal but the reality is very different.

Yeah docker isn’t the isolation sandbox some people make it out to be. It’s not meant for that. You very well may have a setup that’s meant for that but it’s more than I’m willing to expose.

Yup! That’s the worst thing that can happen. Now would you be so be kind as to send us the link to your private unsecured Jellyfin server?

My advice as someone who’s server is so large backups aren’t feasible at my price point. Ensure that things you care a lot about, photos, family videos, tax information, things that can’t be replaced have a proper 3-2-1 backup solution and test it periodically. Nothing worse that putting all that effort into a backup then not being able to recover.

I do not recommend backing up media, like movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music. Use a 2-1. Have two copies of the data with one offline. I have over 20Tb of high-res media and it would cost more than it’s worth to me to backup that stuff. So I don’t. I can just redownload The Lord of the Rings, I can’t redownload the video my parents took of me in a childhood school play.

Loopholes are a free pass when the judicial branch won’t enforce the laws that stop it. All of that is great when everyone is acting in good faith, except the government doesn’t act in good faith anymore.

It’ll never be enforced, and the Hawaii Democrats know it. I guarantee you that before the year is out the USSC will rull from the shadow docket that this is unconstitutional. Like, what type of federal government do you think is in power right now?

Don’t worry, there’s still so much money to be made from being a partner with the US that once Trump has run his course politicians from all across the globe will talk about how we can’t focus on the past. No one will be held accountable.

I don’t know, going from an almost irreplaceable social planning tool to a classified ads host is pretty remarkable. Like in the 2010s my Facebook was my social calendar. Now I can’t even be bothered to recover my account to get onto the market place to buy used crap.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, no matter what Trump or the Republicans do when it’s time to go to the polls every single Republican voter will grind their teeth, pick up the marker, a vote for Trump and the Republicans because “Well at least he’s not a Democrat.” Then once the results are out Democrats will be shocked to see that they lost to the Republicans again.

Learning to not ask questions, feeling like a pleb when everyone else is a guru, and having RTFM yelled at you is part of the Linux experience. What else do you expect me to do when someone asks me a question? Provide that new user with a level headed answer that concisely addresses their problem in-order to encourage them to join the Linux community and help it to grow? Are you even listening to yourself right now, you sound crazy.

They can, but the Republicans are going to Weekend at Bernie’s him until the 2028 election. He is their king and the only way a king is replaced is after their death. Be it natural or otherwise.
