Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS
Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.
THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.
Tim Sweeney signed away his right to criticise Google until 2032
"On March 3rd, he not only signed away Epic’s rights to sue and disparage the company, he signed away his right to advocate for any further changes to Google’s app store polices. He can’t criticize Google’s app store practices. In fact, he has to praise them."
Hypocrites.
You built an industry on scraping the internet and now you’re shocked someone scraped you. You normalized the idea that anything publicly accessible is fair game for training. That’s the precedent you set. I don’t want to hear you bitch about it now.
Leaving the tap running while you brush your teeth is irresponsible.
That water could have been used to cool a data center!

I don't watch enough documentaries, this was an incredible one, even though I can't deal with politics normally.

Continuing my efforts to find the humanity in politics, this documentary was an incredible insight into the efforts of Jacinda Ardern, someone I was vaguely familiar with but knew far too little about. It’s an excellent documentary, engaging and moving right from the start, eye-opening, and refreshing. The amount of stuff that Ardern and her team and also family had to go through, it’s just amazing that she remained as grounded and hopeful as she did. I found this infuriating and depressing in places, but then there’s an optimism that shines through and makes you remember there are good people out there.
So people are willingly installing something that is not only a huge security risk, but is also free to burn as much computation as it likes - that you have to pay for! - generating fake conversations with other chatbots. Can this stupid bubble just pop already?
Some people might know "bash russian roulette":
[ $[ $RANDOM % 6] = 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "Click"
which generates a random number between 0 and 5 and if it's a zero it deletes all your files.
Running an "agent" like Moltbot is basically that with more climate impact.
