BTC as a payment method was not being forced on consumers, rather it was being forced on businesses by compelling them to accept it as payment. I'm not disputing your main point that forcing businesses to accept it is less desirable th

Trying them for negligent manslaughter or homicide seems extreme, but I'd entertain an attempt at justifying that, and I'd do so in good faith and with an open mind to the arguments presented. Just to be clear though, are you prop

Thankfully, we have a system of corporate capture in the US where big government (FCC, in this case) and big business (for-profit media companies, in this case) mutually engage in an incestuous relationship to work against the interests of

I find it fascinating that they're announcing they won't be posting on X anymore, yet at least in the article OP linked, there is absolutely zero mention of where they will be posting. This makes the announcement itself feel like

Is it even possible to embed telemetry into a model itself, as opposed to the runtime environment / program (e.g. Ollama)? I would be disinclined to believe that to be possible, but if anyone knows otherwise, please share.
