Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.

Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.

None of these events are noteworthy by themselves. Max they merit part of a sentence as an example of an ongoing trend.

Exception if one of the events turns out to be a handy symbolic point to indicate a change in the world order.

E.g. Serious human contribution to global warming which started in the early 20th century kept a pace and peaked in the early 21st century. Public opinion began to sour after an increased occurrence of climate disasters, such as tsunamis and forest fires.

Or: The Russian successor state to the soviet union did make token efforts to reassert its power in Eastern Europe, such as the 2021 war in Ukraine. However those efforts ultimately proved futile and by 20xx all former Warsaw pact countries, excluding Russia itself, had joined the European union.

I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.

Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.

Speak for yourself.

Holy shit. I completely forgot about download managers.

This is why most corporations have PR teams. Trying to convince folks of blatant lies like, “I’m just a regular guy, with the same concerns as other plebs”, is not as easy as it looks.

As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.

Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p

Latinos for the win, bruh.

Is there really no downsides to eating the rich?

Tbf, every moderately old software product is a collection of built-up stupidity.

But the bacon is the best part. 🤤🤤

Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.

I really hope so too. I’m tired of Musk.

Out of my league means that there’s a high chance I’m going to get rejected. How do I know? It happened to me. It happened to my friends.

Does this guarantee that I will be rejected? No. Does mean that I’m putting the person on a pedestal? No.

It merely means that being rejected sucks. It’s not fun. And to avoid that sucky feeling I’ve chosen to avoid pursuing people with a high chance of rejection.

This behavior is not putting people on a pedestal. After all, if people of my league were truly that amazing, it would be worth it to pursue them. Kind of a high risk, high reward approach. Instead, it’s generally true that a relationship with of an out of my league person is just as fulfilling as someone in my league.

Tldr: out of my league means high risk, low reward

Isn’t that just a rainbow. I mean it’s the same effect. Just with a different light source. Seeing as the light source is not specified in the word rainbow, I don’t see the need to a different word.

Excellent. Now, make a similar statement about corporate spyware.

I don’t know how old you are, nor should I, so I can’t do anything to stop you.

Hey! My blob is quite morphous; thank you very much.
