A system to allow my likeness to be used by generative AI sounds like the opposite of what I'd want if I was an actor. Sure if I was totally mercenary I'd probably take a pile of cash to have some AI put my likeness in slop like F

Stuff like this shows that licensing for certain software development activities is long overdue. Could you imagine if software engineering was like real engineering, with you having to sign off on work done and accepting personal liability

For too long, web browsers have dominated the market for applications that are consumed by document readers, glad to see some competition at last.

The fact that Blink is open source is totally irrelevant; sure it may mean that some niche browsers can exist with a few tweaks, but any serious attempt at forking would require a legion of developers. If Microsoft isn't able to mainta

If anything I think the opposite, the internet is going to be so flooded by AI pigswill that no one, automated or not, is going to be able to deal with it. The governments of the world might be able to listen to your phone conversations, bu

You will, not everyone will have the time or ability to though, and thats the point.

This is very interesting, as it shows what the future of customer support looks like. I worked for 5 years in an insurance call center. Most people believe call centers are designed to deliberately waste your time so you just hang up and do

This sounds like its more about interest rates than it is people working from home, not that that'll stop anyone from trying to bring you back into the office anyway.

User experience has long been superseded by developer experience. You can see it in how both camps operate, dev tools are snappy command line apps but end users get electron slop.

Rookie numbers; we need those rates higher.

The rejection of XML technology means that the web is condemned to endless reimplement shitty versions of what it provided. We'll still be implementing our own basic UI controls for the rest of our lives.

Sorry, are you asking for the readily available pictures online of the dogs with guns mounted on them?

That sounds awful to be honest. A recipe for total loss of standardization within an org.

Devs use web frontend tech because it is installed on every machine, will never have anything less than the full backing of the browser devs for the next hundred years, and gets around corporate filters. No need to deal with IT security los

Not printers, but my TV is starting to give up the ghost, and I fully expect I'll be paying extra to ensure its not connected to the internet.

Honestly there is something deeply shameful about tech workers finally organizing, uniting together in one voice, and using that voice to defend Sam Altman of all people.

If anything I'd be shocked if they didn't sell the data of those who paid. If you pay for Facebook you have more money than you know what to do with, the list of users who do so are the Glengarry leads that every sales org would d

This is why everyone should switch to AGPL3. You can use MIT/BSD/Apache/GPL3 dependencies without issue; never need to worry about derivative works or anything like that, just set it and forget it, and because corporations av

There is a demand for Low Background Steel, steel produced before the Nuclear Bombs were dropped, for use in Geiger counters and the like. It's usually salvaged from the wrecks of sunken WW1 ships, as that is the only way to guarantee

If you're someone like BlackStone or Vanguard you absolutely manage investments in companies that are paying each other.

Why would this be the internal monologue about people I interact closely with? They aren't the ones forcing everyone in.

No one can advocate for any improvement in their conditions with attitudes like yours.

Its all funny when its stuff like this, but we are definitely only a few years away from corporations using this for nefarious purposes. Someone looking to organize a trade union in her workplace? Anonymously load AI videos of that person j

If I go away and invent some cool widget tomorrow that becomes popular, I now need to start looking at additional assembly lines, parts suppliers, customs forms, and all that stuff. If I have some stupid software bullshit, like ChatGPT for

Of course I won't. Art at some level is meant to be communication between the artist and the observer/reader/listener. What communication is there in AI art besides "The algorithm did it"?

Artists are still able to produce art with or without photoshop. Without their LLMs and the stolen art within, the best an AI "artist" can do is to scrawl "Tracer Overwatch big boobs not ugly trending on artstation" into
