Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just… Ban Google if they don’t comply?

Makes sense to me. Most people probably don’t want the hassle of having to upgrade a non lts release. I’m still on 22.04 on the machine I use for work.

When I’m curious about a language, I usually first build some implementation of a perceptron or basic neural network, as well as a (usually very bad) text editor.

I feel like once I have those behind me, I’ve got some fundamentals and can dive deeper into what makes the specific language actually special :)

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

I mean… a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

This is a surprisingly accurate description of the difference between the days where I go to the office and the days where I work from home 😅

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/

Looks to me like this is the case. Did some more searching and found only the same “Intel + Nvidia-GPU or AMD + Nvidia-GPU” formulation.

That repo is much more active than I would have thought 😅 Can’t wait to see this somewhere in production

I mean… yeah. I’m not in the USA and I will probably also feel the effects of whatever tariffs are placed. It seems like he’s already preparing excuses for when things don’t pan out. (Not to mention the immigration issue and so on)

I will never understand why this place is idolized by so many people…

I didn’t even know interactive wallpapers were a thing, that sounds so cool! I’m the kind of boring person who keeps almost every default unless it bothers me, even the wallpaper 😅

Nice! It seems like the cables are justified. I also ended up on default 12.04 with unity after a half year or so because kde at the time had too many quirky for me. I’ve honestly been wanting to give it another go since plasma 5 came out, but haven’t gotten around to it.

Kubuntu! Kubuntu 12.04 was my first distro, so it always makes me happy to see :D Also, you seem to have a lot of cables on your desk, and I can’t figure out what they’d all be for :P

Maybe I’m weird but this actually looks good. Might make something similar later :D

Someone more versed in political science than I can correct me here, but I’m pretty sure direct democracy and true democracy would be synonyms. But that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t still be a need to fight back against antidemocratic forces. In any system where the laws can change, so too can the holders of power, and people are very capable of voting against their self interest. Complacency is, unfortunately, never an option.

I’m afraid of what this will mean for similar conspiracy theorists in other countries :( I’m very afraid that none of us are safe from people like this.

Ty so much. I’ve already made some progress :) Hope yours goes well

Wanted to say thank you so much to the people who worked on this. I know people whom I will send this to. You are appreciated ❤️
