Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.

Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.

I wouldn’t trust anything “found” by Israeli intelligence. Having said that, according to article, these are plans for:

Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.

Which is reasonably close to what happened. Given how direct and quick the strike was, it’s reasonable to assume that plans of that nature exist.

Then again, October 7th was a a Saturday and a holiday and Hamas attacked early in the morning. If they wanted to kidnap kids, it wouldn’t make sense to target schools.

TLDR: I dunno. Maybe.

As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.

Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p

Is there really no downsides to eating the rich?

Tbf, every moderately old software product is a collection of built-up stupidity.

Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.

There’s basically one far right playbook. Did you really think Netanyahu would change tactics just because he happened to be a Jewish right winger.

Which is, ironically, why it would make political sense to pass this. Not a single congressman is really living paycheck to paycheck. And once the shutdown is over, they’d get the money anyway.

No loss of comfort, due to the ability to postpone payments / dip into savings. No lost income due to eventually getting paid. Huge political bragging rights due to “solidarity”

Literally no downside.

Yet, not a single one of these greedy fucks will probably support it.

I really hope so too. I’m tired of Musk.

Does this work? It’s the most inane stereotypical corporate speak video I’ve ever seen.

The video is basically asking me to spy on my coworkers, so management can shut down the slightest hint of anything that isn’t slavish adherence to corporate demands.

The whole thing feels icky with a heavy layer of obviously fake corporate caring. Ewww.

Isn’t that just a rainbow. I mean it’s the same effect. Just with a different light source. Seeing as the light source is not specified in the word rainbow, I don’t see the need to a different word.

Excellent. Now, make a similar statement about corporate spyware.
