Well if I could get a twitter API to abuse for free, I’d compete with him to create automated shitposts. Not going to pay for it though

I stopped using the LX suite when they stopped working on LXDE and switched to LXQT. I think I need to look towards openbox for a minimal DE experience

Just lol at blocking Cloudflare. They seriously think this will being down the number of pirates?

I think in going to switch from XFCE to KDE just because the XFCE merit of using the least amount of the resources is no longer a reality. I miss LXDE

I’m loving your commentary on the subject.

When I mentioned Mistral, I meant their attention to open source. Their new model (Mistral small) can be run on consumer hardware with similar results to ChatGPT if trained on good data. AI isn’t that useful outside of me asking it to write one-liners but I haven’t had the experience you have.

How much VC/Microsoft funding does OpenAI have? Surely they can’t afford to keep burning cash like they are now? When will they make AI so expensive to use that it will become useless?

The only AI startup I care about is Mistral. Amazing models, altruistic attitude towards AI and software. In my opinion, one of the few great companies out there. Give them a few more years and I’ll consider them in the same league as Mullvad.

I’ve seen this movie before. MBAs are fucking idiots.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I’m just waiting for OpenAI or someone else to jack up prices in the name of profits so high that they will be the equivalent of Nvidia for business AI.

Suddenly hiring for creative roles will be back in full swing because companies won’t be able to afford it. Unfortunately, in the end, the shareholder always wins

I’m on Debian. Which RSS reader do you use? Is there a fuzzy search for YouTube?

I honestly don’t think EU and Asian leaders have the balls to do this (because the American government will support American companies if it comes down to it). Tougher fines that are difficult for the tech giants to swallow should be the first step

Malicious delays should be recognised and interest should be charged as an additional percentage. Also, the EU is hardly doing enough. It’s like they’ve been bought by these companies

Can you explain your setup? I’m interested

Companies like this need to be criminally charged, but we know that’s not going to happen

Which boycott? Random Joe over there is handing over his SSN to ChatGPT no problem

Agreed. I wonder if they are just too scared to actually do this

AI companies should be fined percentages of their total worth by the government whose artists they are taking advantage of. For example: Japanese government penalises OpenAI 50% of their net worth for every image which is even marginally similar to any publishing house in Japan. And they should be very lenient about taking on these cases.

I want OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and IBM to get fucked so bad they won’t even dream of coming back and doing this. I don’t know why the EU penalises these companies in monetary amounts. They should be putting rules like a certain percentage of your company for a certain type of wrongdoing.

TBH if Japan or other asian countries bleed these companies dry they will be sitting on an immense sum of money which will propel them to superpowers in their own right. It’s a win-win for everyone

Thank you for the explanation. It would suck to put down money just to run a nym relay. I was interested in lokinet too but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a small VPS, really

Impressive, I didn’t know AirVPN accepted XMR. That greatly influences my decision about them vs PIA and others. I wanted a VPN which I could pay for anonymously and could torrent with (open ports)

I think PIA is decent for torrenting and Mullvad for privacy

Does TOR suffer from Sybil attacks? I admit I don’t know what that is, I’ll have to read about it
