LLMs are AI in the same way that the lane assist on my car is AI. Tech companies, however, very carefully and deliberately play up LLMs as being AGI or close to it. See for example toe convenient fear-mongering over the “risks” of AI, as though ChatGPT will become Skynet.
Absolutely, I don’t trust them at all. There’s a reason I’m on Mastodon and not either of the corporate platforms. It is nice to at least be able to follow people there though, and interact with them.
AFAIK that’s still the case, yes. I don’t have a Bluesky (or Threads) account so I can’t confirm.
Bsky federates. I follow several people from my Mastodon profile.
Edit: I should add a caveat here. Federation doesn’t work as smoothly as Threads yet. You have to use a bridge service: https://fed.brid.gy/
I thought it was unsuccessful as xitter was already the preferred platform
It isn’t anymore, ad I expect that to accelerate. The Guardian just announced today that they will no longer use it, for example (although individual journalists may still choose to do so)
BRB, going to sell 1/8 lb burgers to take advantage of dumb Americans
Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?
Blackmail is a terrible way to attract investment to your country. This is like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter after he told them to fuck off.
Jakarta is seeking to boost investment from foreign tech companies with restrictive measures that require their phones to be 40 per cent sourced from parts in Indonesia.
Absolutely ridiculous policy. Imagine if every country pulled this stunt.
I’m not surprised the Corsair is better - it looks like there’s a whole nvme drive in there.
What’s that number in words?
Per the article, it’s 20 decillion.
Last time someone did that it triggered a conflict between Serbia and Albania!
I can absolutely see how the greedy would get scammed by this.
Really? The only way that could sound more like a scam is if there were a chyron at the bottom spelling out THIS IS A SCAM.

I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.
You may want to familiarize yourself with how their tracking pixel works. In brief, you add a line of code (provided by Facebook) to any given website and on page load that code displays a 1x1px transparent image from Facebook’s servers that allows them to establish a correlation between the loading of that website and the identity of the person logged in to Facebook on that browser. it isn’t “hiding” anything or circumventing Facebook in any way. It’s a core part of their advertising offerings. https://www.facebook.com/business/goals/retargeting
Except you can add a tracking pixel to the destination website after people click through on the ad, which correlates to people’s individual profile. To say that isn’t “handing out personal information to others” is sophistry of the highest order.
Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others
Huh? How do you think ad targeting works?
That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault
Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.
I generally agree, but .io stands for “indian ocean”, which isn’t a country.
Counterpoint: .su still exists
I agree, but the problem is that the media (encouraged by tech companies) use the sci-fi definition, and the layman doesn’t know any better.
