This is the future those who push for age verification want for us.

@jer looks like it broke out over all Europe at once, the Parisian one started 20 minutes ago
@Minski @luna « swordpas Â» is something TikTok would invent once discussion on password hygiene and internet anonymity are banned

That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year.

For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations.

@mullvadnet my dude. My broski. My sibling in computer. Calling for ethnic cleansing is not a mere difference of political opinion.

@aiono @soph I believe « Section 2.2 Conditions of Membership Â» of the bylaws is what forces the Foundation to accept anyone respecting the code of conduct (and other documents but that’s the most notable one) and since CEO != legal entity that is OpenAI, and the CoC or other documents say nothing about AI (last I checked), they had to accept.

It’s technically possible to change all of these but maybe the underlying legal system doesn’t allow, and if it does there needs to be a push for it too

Not a lawyer and certainly even less of a corporate lawyer so I wouldn’t trust the first thing of my five minute search through law text to actually be close to the real thing though

@soph I don’t like AI but in this situation the Rust foundation legally cannot say no to anyone wanting to join and having the money for a specific tier, they don’t have a choice here

#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.

Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”

This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

For any project that relies on collaboration, it doesn't matter how smart an individual is if they drive other people away. The underlying technical points might have a lot of merit, but I would not want to use a tool that would have me interact with people like that that would berate me for filing a bug. I would certainly not want to contribute code to such a project.

I am amazed how many people confuse "being a dick" with "having a personality". I hate the "asshole genius" trope because all it's done is convince assholes that they are geniuses, and non-geniuses to think the way to appear smart is to be an asshole.

If you can't communicate effectively ("play well with others"), you're not nearly as smart as you think you are. Smart people know how to get shit done, and the only way to get shit done at a scale beyond what any given human can do on their own is collaboration. And no one wants to collaborate with an asshole.
