  • Quite frankly one of the worst articles I’ve read in a long time.

    A rambling post full of speculative guesses at costs and performance combined with authoritative-sounding opinions.

    For a post full of “math”, only one chart made it in that they just copied from another source - I’ve seen better written rants on Lemmy.

    Their whole thesis that it’s not viable to build a 24/7 renewable grid with just one renewable and batteries is not technically wrong, it’s a straw man argument. Sure UAE built this system, but its part of a much larger strategy, not alone in a vacuum.

    The only renewables mentioned are solar and wind and only from the context that they’re unreliable sources, but at no point do they even hint at the complementary nature of having a diverse portfolio of renewable energy sources, nor that there are any other forms of renewables.

    I could go on and on. This feels like someone from Chevron hired an intern to churn out anti-renewable astroturfy spam.





  • Yes and no - there’s so much GoT fan content out there that they could theoretically pick up on the key names and places without the books

    That said, I’d be willing to bet these shitty AI companies went the extra mile to pirate these books to train their LLMs, because copyright law is only for the poors.

    I generally despise LLMs, but I’d be intrigued to see LLMs be the thing that reigns in copyright law a little bit because it’s gotten too out of hand.







  • The confusion appears to have started after Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) creator Troy Hunt announced he had added a large dataset of 183 million credentials to the breach notification service. The data was shared with Hunt by Synthient, a threat intelligence platform that collects and analyzes information from infostealer malware logs. As Hunt explained in a blog post, the collection reflects years of infostealer activity rather than a single new compromise – and certainly not a targeted attack on Gmail.

    Short version, 183 million computers have malware on them, and many people logged into their gmail accounts on infected computers.

    Not sure I blame Google for this one, but you should probably delete any Google accounts just to be safe (and also stop opening .exe files you get from sketchy websites).
