Misinformation is the status-quo. The CCP is a peer power to America, and they're matching the same propaganda outlets like Hollywood and social media with their own forms. It's a credibly modern response to tactics used by nation

xAI's (unused) dedicated compute is being sold for Anthropic's inference. xAI isn't a frontier company, and their fate is already being decided by the two hegemons.

Sony's had to bet the house on those types of blockbuster, crowd-pleasing experiences. The PS5 has yet to crest the cinematic peaks of the PS4 (PT, Bloodborne, Uncharted, etc), so people are rightfully getting a little worried that thi

As far as I know, you can use other OSes once the Spark's firmware is updated with LVFS. You'll need a custom-built distro image, but that goes for like 90% of ARM hardware on Linux.

I thought this stuff was common knowledge. I didn't expect to make people angry by insinuating that Nadella, Cook and Pichai are also socipaths, but I guess we have a bit further to fall before people learn the lesson.

Except this is clearly not true. Opus-tier models like GLM 5.2 have their weights freely available. Even when they're reaching parity with American models, Z.ai, Qwen and Deepseek are upholding their end of the bargain. I'd critic

Palantir's software stack is not really that complex, and their FDE workforce is famously... undereducated. Canada should be able to pull it off, there's much to improve on.

Forget domestic workers, shouldn't you be surveilled whenever you're alone and unattended? When the panopticon is flipped inwards, everyone scrapes together an excuse for why their solitude is more important than others.
