Yes and a parking infraction is the same as a hit and run because they both happened on the road with cars. What a nonsense bunch of words you put up there as wisdom lmao.

The term “public listed company” is in itself gaslighting. They want you to believe you can be a part of the investment and its success. It’s definitely not about anchoring new technologies and business with dependencies on old money!

Good ol capitalism breeding innovation. And then acquiring the innovation, cloning it poorly and killing it off so the market has no access to the product and service they wanted. Innovative!

What’s with the photo of Kathy Bates with a lesbian haircut?

Is she playing Elon Musk in a biopic of his life?

I knew that UI had something to hide!

Never trust an overly fancy UI…

Why is LinkedIn not on there? Or does that count as an auto immune disease?

I heard the new 2025 model wallops you in the bollocks every time you pull the parking brake.

He can’t, the seed is stored in what Mark lacks!

As much as I hate much of the news about AI, I love the dilemma this puts the copyright lawyers and tech bros in. Either they admit that the majority of copyright law enforcement is a joke and stifles innovation - or they admit the creation of AI using stolen works is standard practise and requires government intervention to get back on track.

There was a legitimate use case in art to draw on generative AI for concepts and a stopgap for smaller tasks that don’t need to be perfect. While art is art, not every designer out there is putting work out for a gallery - sometimes it’s just an ad for a burger.

However, as time has gone on for the industry to react I think that the business reality of generative AI currently puts it out of reach as a useful tool for artists. Profit hungry people in charge will always look to cut corners and will lack the nuance of context that a worker would have when deciding when or not to use AI in the work.

But you could provide this argument about any tool given how fucked up capitalism is. So I guess that my 2c - generative AI is a promising tool but capitalism prevents it from being truly useful anytime soon.

I’m hoping community efforts are able to fill the void. I fear having to do this all myself and becoming some kind of Mad Max style tinkerer after the fall…

Old phones daisy changed together to act as a server… The remnants of StarLink for internet, getting nazi/rape threats from the remaining social media AI that live in all the satellites…

It would be nice if government backed up Wikipedia and SO. But considering they don’t give a shit about Linux which is arguably one of the most vital technical infrastructure projects of our lifetime…

I was referring to the file size being the barrier. The 2024 large database size of 202GB is prohibitive for the average person’s resource capabilities. i.e. I have a home VPS host and I don’t even have that much free space. Your cloud operating costs would also go up with the storage and bandwidth use.

There’s also two separate issues I was kinda mixing up. I’m a developer who uses StackOverflow and would like to use a resource that is readily available. I think it’d take a few hours to setup even a smaller copy of SO, which isn’t ideal for answering a quick question. I also don’t want to setup a whole mirror site with custom work just for myself and because I’m paranoid Microsoft miight buy them and paywall SO overnight or something.

I’ve looked into this but they aren’t exactly small, it’s not a straightforward operation for even the average developer or systems engineer to restore these into a working format.

I was thinking we need something along the lines of a read only public mirror run by the proper open source community - e.g. SourceForge or a major Linux project… ISP’s and universities offer mirrors of Linux packages so this could be a resource offered in the same vein. That’s my line of thinking as far as a StackOverflow mirror goes anyway!

Is there a mirror for Stacks content? I’ve been concerned for some time that they are a vital resource that a corporation could ruin at any moment.

Anyone who still believes that these institutions are sufficient for maintaining a stable liberal democracy is just delusional, at this point.

Twenty years ago, I remember asking my high school teacher about how the legal system here in Australia works cause we don’t have a bill of rights. I was told the “traditions of Parliament” would protect free speech and human rights even though it’s not written down anywhere…

Fast forward twenty years and Australia’s government is fully in the pocket of monopolistic corporations and a handful of elite families who own the top banking industries - mining, gambling, etc.

Fair. Maybe if he’d given some of Apple’s ill gotten gains to gay organisations we wouldn’t be here!
