  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.

  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

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caribbean nations set to demand royal family makes reparations for slave trade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I’m opposed to reparations in the form of a single direct payment to descendants. What’s going to happen is a very small group is going to negotiate with the rich ppl. The rich will offer a pittance, because the descendants have no leverage. The descendants will accept, cause … free money. And then a lot of white will decide that black people need to stop bitching about slavery, cause whatever injustices were committed have officially been paid off. It’s bad idea.

  It’s better to explicitly define current day social inequalities that at the result of slavery. E.g. enormous difference in median household wealth between black and white ppl. Define a plan to rectify that specifically. And then commit slavery profiteers to pay for the plan until that specific inequality is in longer present.

  I think the only reason Super Mario bros earned that much is because … kids. People in general have grown tired of reboots, remakes, cinematic universes, you know, just the blatant milking of IP.

  Then again, Barbie fits in that category. So I dunno.
