They are too busy pulling Andre to court, so they have no resources going against OpenAI. Shopify wants to make profit, not waste time in a court case against TechBro bromance brother corporations.

I kind of settled on avif. I am not at all implying avif is perfect, in particular at high compression I notice the quality isn't quite as good as often advertised. For similar size compared to jpeg, avif is divine; and I also found av

I don't see the comparison though. In the case of the Commonwealth, the UK empire was going strong and the guy was a royalist, aka supporter. The message "end the illegal war in Ukrain" aka Putin's genocide, does not rea

To me it seems as if scripting languages have it hard right now, aside from Python. AI seems to have changed how people find and use new languages. The influx of new people kind of ... died down for many older languages here.

How so? If you can break out of a sandbox then by definition it is not a sandbox. There are ways to force sandbox jail. For instance, giving processes only a partial view of the computer system. GoboLinux did this years ago via ViewFS ( htt

Because the companies that build up skynet are not doing so for ethically good reasons. Cheaters sell more than honest agents.

Google wants to build up a private web here. We already know this from AMP before. Also, the search results are total garbage now. Just give it a try and you see how useless the UI is, with AI results first, then tons of commercial go-to en

Why does Finland want to make US companies stronger? This is the biggest problem with the EU: the EU as well as the member states, are not really thinking strategically here. Not just with regards to nuclear power plants but in general.

Why do you make Google stronger by giving it money? I don't disagree that these findings may be useful for other users, who can now look more at suspicious bot behaviour - but all of that money empowers Evil. Let's not let Google

That sounds like a fake storyline. The much simpler explanation is that the local Saudi merc army sucked. If you followed the whole conflict in the last 20 years this is largely the case - the Saudis aren't really great at warfare, typ
