Hot take: you’re both right.

Right-wing spin machine had been after Hillary for years. It severely damaged her campaign.

Hillary had no appeal to 60% of the Dem base. It severely damaged her campaign.

AOC faces the same threat from the right-wing spin machine, but she has good policies to sell to the base.

Sexism and racism will factor in, of course, but the strongest opposing force is the billionaire news outlets.

Portal though?

Also: mobile games? Flash games? FarmVille left a helluva mark.

Easy. Google doesn’t sell search. They sell ads and consumer data. The longer you spend searching, the more they make from both. The ideal scenario for them is to give search results that feel helpful enough that you keep coming back, but are actually so useless that you never find a link that takes you away from the search results for good.

Not really. There are barely any chips out there.

Oct 2021: 200 billion ARM chips

Nov 2023: 1 billion RISC-V chips, hoping to hit 16 billion by 2030

Nov 2024: 300 billion ARM chips

Fantastic post!

I just wanna emphasize that last part.

If you have persistent pain, and you’ve already checked the obvious stuff, you absolutely need to see a doctor. It’s not just about maximizing your fun. Chronic pelvic pain can indicate serious problems.

Cool, but… why not just NixOS?

ARM support. Every SoC is a new horror.

Armbian does great work, but if you want another distro you’re gonna have to go on a lil adventure.

I like this one: https://youtu.be/Dt6iTwVIiMM

Behind the Bastards had a Christmas special non-bastard episode on the Tupamaros of Uruguay and Pepe Mujica. It does seem like they have some decent politics there.

I can’t think of a time when I added the wrong person to a group chat. I’m sure it’s happened, but probably not in the past 10-15 years.

And my online chats are pretty low-stakes, so it’s not like I’m trying very hard.

I think it’s more nuanced than that. Copyright is just the only hammer available at the moment.

We should have some laws around media integrity, creative dignity, labor rights, etc. that we could use to fight back against the problematic parts of the AI empire without creating new problems for consumers, creators, and even the useful parts of AI.

But, for obvious reasons, lawmakers haven’t been as interested in protecting the arts as they have been in protecting legal monopolies.

I feel similarly about the impact to art. Though, art is one of those elusive things where as soon as you try to define it, someone will produce a counterexample that dares you to deny its “art-ness”.

In some ways, we kinda had a trial run of this conversation with Andy Warhol (and the various people pretending to be Andy Warhol).

I have no doubt that people will continue to have interesting things to say, and that audiences will continue to seek them out. But the degree to which it becomes difficult to successfully make that end-to-end connection is an open question.

I hope we see a more decentralized version of C2PA take off. I fear it’ll take some sort of catastrophe like a deepfake-driven coup before there’s a serious effort to mainstream it. If that happens, and C2PA is the only option laying around, we might be in for a new era of corporate control over media. I’m genuinely on the fence about whether that’s better than being boiled alive in AI soup. It probably is.

Way larger than I imagined, too. And yeah, I would also suspect they’re pretty messy and occassionally traumatic. But so are monogamous relationships.

I wouldn’t worry about eating your hat here. And also, I’m not digging the downvotes you’ve been catching. I think you presented a pretty reasonable take based on your own experience. That’s not the same experience everyone has, but that’s kinda the whole point of this thread, isn’t it?

Results show that 1 out of 6 people (16.8%) desire to engage in polyamory, and 1 out of 9 people (10.7%) have engaged in polyamory at some point during their life. Approximately 1 out of 15 people (6.5%) reported that they knew someone who has been or is currently engaged in polyamory.

Seems like it’s fairly common.

copyright

We desperately need a new term to orient the convo around.

Cuz I don’t think the main issue is the assignable right to prohibit unlicensed access. Nor is copyright well-equipped to solve the actual problems.

The real issues are:

• Failure to cite the sources; and, on the flip side…
• Possibly deceiving viewers into thinking the source created this instance
• Alienating the labor of workers from the value that their labor creates
• Adding excessive noise to the marketplace

Like the term “ecology” managed to align the interests of activists concerned about littering/pollution, animal extinction, and climate change, we need a term that aligns these concerns.

Creative dignity?

It’s as normal as dyeing your hair blue. It’s not the go-to for everybody, but if you go to the supermarket it’s right there on the shelf with all the other options.

Functionex: because a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

Steam on ARM?! Gimme gimme gimme!!!

Basically Drake is a big piece of shit (alleged) pedophile, so people have forked the meme template in a few directions.

My favorite is the Geordi La Forge:

Also valid options:

Edit: The Perfection meme works in a lot of cases, too.

Wind of change: did the CIA write the cold war’s biggest anthem?
