AI slop can be bad but this Bradley doesn’t understand that businesses exist to make money.

Bradley talking about his manager:

"He doesn’t know that the important thing isn’t just the end result, it’s the journey and the questions you answer along the way”.

If Bradley is making art only for personal growth, he needs to quit and make his own indie game.

Because if you are working for someone else it’s not the journey, it’s the result. Get it done quicker and then slack.

?? Google pays Apple to put their search in Apple’s OS

I didn’t see tokens/s anywhere?

You are right! I didn’t count the 0’s!

That was my immediate thought too. Hook it to a super capacitor. The only problem is the self discharge is probably higher than what the nuclear cell can feed.

Google says a Casio watch needs .004mA so not quite enough.

Yes a pair.

But consider direct bury cable. It’s low voltage so there’s no building codes to follow or even miss utility calls because you are only putting it a few inches below the grass. You can get really long flexible auger bits to run under concrete for $30.

I know it’s a hassle but it will be so much more reliable in the long run.

If you download a movie from a torrent site, you have committed an illegal act in the US. It doesn’t matter if you watch the movie and then write a fanfiction based on the movie. It’s the copying that’s illegal. It seems clear from OpenAI’s statements that they torrented the data they used to build their models.

Yes recording at Netflix stream is pirating. That you got away with it doesn’t mean you couldn’t be sued for tens of thousands of someone found out.

You don’t think it’s unethical but it is illegal in the US and people have been sued for thousands of dollars. This is still going on today: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/isp-sued-by-record-labels-agrees-to-identify-100-users-accused-of-piracy/

OpenAI has said they need to violate copyright. But they didn’t say that the law should be changed. They want an exemption for themselves.

Did you buy the Ghibli movies you trained on or did you pirate them? Because OpenAI has argued that they are allowed to pirate and no one else.

So you are leaving your laptop behind as the server?

What’s your budget? I’d build a separate server but that’s me. I would think you could get old hardware practically free that would run your services fine by checking Craigslist and your local recycling center.

They already said they are going to charge $30/year for patches. They want recurring revenue from ads in 11 or from you paying yearly for 10.

I just want a printer that doesn’t require you to upload your gcode to their cloud server before getting permission from them to print.

Yes it was. It forced Russia to spend resources retaking their own land instead of using those resources to take more of Ukraine.

I’d been hearing a lot about NixOS so I did a VM install. It wanted me to setup my own partitions manually without even giving preset sane defaults like I was back in 1994 installing Slackware.

Nope. My OS is a tool, not a lifestyle.
