The IA is about to be nuked by their lost lawsuit. If Google will keep them afloat just about anything would be better than them vanishing entirely.

On VPN + Lemmy.World now, no issues yet

My theory about what happened next — which is supported by conversations I’ve had with researchers in artificial intelligence, some of whom worked on Bing — is that many of the stories about my experience with Sydney were scraped from the web and fed into other A.I. systems.

These systems, then, learned to associate my name with the demise of a prominent chatbot. In other words, they saw me as a threat.

LLMs predict text, they don’t have feelings or awareness. Even if a researcher did say that I call to attention the Google chatbot programmer who thought an LLM became sentient because it said so when generating text.

Guys, my paper is sentient, it says so.

If the AI says he’s disonhest and sensational that’s because enough people on the internet have said so that the AI considers it to be true.

Ideally internet debates wouldn’t get THAT heated though.

If nothing else, at least companies can’t force you to pay for their services at gunpoint (yet).

My guess is it scales a lot more efficiently the more you add. Still probably costs a lot though.

YaCy is probably what you’re looking for

Best case it’s gonna get bloated and beurocratic (any monopoly, but especially state run ones) and if it’s government owned they’ll use the power of the government to prevent competition (more than a private monopoly which will still try but won’t have as much power to do so).

Worst case it goes off the rails and the service is unavailable/unusable. If it’s anything important - say the Soviet’s food production - anybody who needs that service doesn’t get it.

One has the power of corporate lawyers to enforce it’s will, one has an army and a prison system to enforce it’s will.

The only thing worse than a monopoly is a government owned monopoly

Was curious so searched it, looks like the two big AI features are AI image editing and Google Gemini, both of which are apps look available on other devices. They can always be disabled, but Pixels are great for GeapheneOS anyways.

An AI asics chip for more efficient local software might have been cool but doesn’t looks like it comes with one.

AT&T and Verizon both intend to offer Supplemental Coverage from Space as part of separate deals with AST SpaceMobile.

Dear FCC,

Please don’t let a competitor enter the market.

Sincerely,

AT&T and Verizon

Seems to be a big crackdown lately. Freetube and Grayjay are the only apps that seem to consistently work.

I’m not saying they believe that, I’m just commenting on what their government is saying.

I have very little knowledge on what the average Russian citizen thinks.

Because if their government won’t give them the full story it implies they might not like it.

Not a Russian political expert, but the fact Putin keeps calling it “denazification” and a “special military operation” leads me to believe there’s a lot of people who don’t support a full blown war.

Mozilla doesn’t use their donations for Firefox, though that might change if they lose the Google money.
