My sister speculated that somebody (probably trump…) uploaded something far worse than “the pee-pee tape” to twitter and musk inherited that when he bought the site.

That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard speculated

Be aware that hardware access from a virtual machine(for an audio interface, for example) can be jittery or slow (latency), which might make it unusable for your purposes or not. You’ll have to find out.

Nah man, if you explain things with analogies and metaphors you definitely got the ADHDs! Better get on those meds, yo!

Lately every vaguely relatable thing I read on the internet is a sure-fire sign of ADHD it seems.

What a dumb post

They know most startups crash and burn, right?

That’s their point, they are moonshots. Why in the fuck you’d want to operate a government agency like that is beyond me.

This is insane.

They’ll be vaccinated. Their grandkids, maybe.

Cowards

This is a very pessimistic take. I’d like to add that the age of misinformation is here.

Used to be, there was only one newspaper to read. Then, more and more sources of news came (paper, TV, eventually the internet).

Then they all largely switched to a race to the bottom free model supported by advertising money alone, which boosted outrage bait over quality journalism.

Then, the full force of social media algorithms came in to play and it became nearly impossible to sort fact from fiction (even here on Lemmy, I’m afraid). Even if all the news you read is true, it will still influence you in a certain way if it’s slanted a certain way. Especially if other news doesn’t reach you. Don’t forget the power of omission.

Be cognizant that there are certain well-funded groups that benefit from sowing discord and polarization, and they’re largely succeeding. If the world as you know it (through the internet) doesn’t match that of your neighbor, it’s easy to break off or escalate, for both of you!

Don’t despair, stay cognizant of the unprecedented online manipulation and act local!

Finally!

Like that time they made their own Powershell imitation of curl? (before deciding it was an abomination and finally including stock curl, but not removing the old Powershell commandlet because of backwards compatibility so now curl and curl.exe are two different things and you’ll want the latter)

It’s kind of ironic that a mod felt the need to bring the censorship down like that, instead of allowing for an open discussion.

First, they came for the tweets…

When you’re the president, they let you do it! Grab 'em right in the rule of law.

Notably, it does not appear that they have posted the AI responses, just used the posts as input for internal processes.

Yeah, but they don’t fall under “without any additional setup”, since the email was already provided to letsencrypt as part of the certificate request.

Man, that’s too bad, it was really handy as the last defense against outages and didn’t have any additional setup costs.

Supabase is often mentioned. It’s open source and has a free tier, though it is VC driven so I’m sure it’ll enshittify at some point.

What will they do? Fine Trump? Jail him? If not, he’s not going to care. And they won’t jail him.

You’d be wrong. Open source has a commonly accepted definition and a CC licensed PNG does not fall under it. It’s copyleft, yes, but not open source.

I do agree that model weights are data and can be given a license, including CC0. There might be some argument about how one can assign a license to weights derived from copyrighted works, but I won’t get into that right now. I wouldn’t call even the most liberally licensed model weights open-source though.
