He’s been dead for decades. I think he’s just quiet and rotting now.

Exactly what I was thinking. Regardless of what one thinks about AI, it seems to me that only a long series of really bad a decisions could lead to something like this happening.

We don’t know and we won’t find out.

The good thing about it is you don’t need to read past the first few words. Which saves us all a lot of time and effort in the long-run. A weird sort of way, it’s honest (albeit impulsive) discourse. Most people nowadays seem to hide what they really mean behind double-speak.

The bad thing is reading the rest of their comments makes me actually worried. We’ve all been in a bad place in our heads and some of us know just how f***ed up it can get.

So if know why, then why ask why in the first place?

It’s always interesting to see that MAGA shitheads hate-read this forum.

A friend used to say: “No such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers”

I’d rather be an ape a 100 times more than a fascist. At least then I’d have some reasonable excuse for my actions.

That’s not the point. The point is content scraping (and crawling) is the cornerstone of the contemporary information environment. It’s how we got to this technological paradigm in the first place.

This whole “people are bypassing paywalls” is a badly evidenced non-issue, and all too convenient. What these companies are really saying is “Content scraping is bad when others do it. Only I and other big fish get to do it and profit billions out of it. Fuck ordinary citizens. Fuck everyone and everything but me and my dreams of endless wealth and power.”

To be fair.

Content scraping is harming the information business in ways that could not have been foreseen.

What an absolute ridiculous thing to say.

Wow. I’m surprised it worked for so long. I assume there were issues, such as high temp, that your brother didn’t diagnoze or didn’t know how to. Impressive that CPU is working all those years. Any damage to its function?

He’s Scottish though, not English

Wow, what’s happening here? We don’t like Fox news and Newsmax but Tass is acceptable?

Jesus, Lemmy, get a grip.
