That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

- Comment on OpenAI, Google, & Anthropic Face Hurdles In Advancing AI Models, Casting Doubt On Near-Term AGI 2 days ago:
From the source Bloomberg article:
Like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI is now shifting attention from the size of these models to newer use cases, including a crop of AI tools called agents that can book flights or send emails on a user’s behalf. “We will have better and better models,” Altman wrote on Reddit. “But I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.”
The fact that Sam “worldcoin” Altman is saying this publicly (like anyone would trust an LLM to book a flight or to send non-trivial emails) suggests the grift may be coming to an end.
- Comment on Southeast Asian nations amend semiconductor strategies 3 days ago:
The nation introduced a labor policy in 2018 that capped maximum work hours to 52 – 40 hours of regular time and 12 hours of overtime.
To be honest, I would be surprised if this rule was actually followed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could comment.

- Comment on Microsoft may rebrand its Windows AI features under "Windows Intelligence," following in Apple's footsteps 1 week ago:
This is hilarious. They were a “leader” of sorts in this area and yet they still feel the need to copy Apple’s marketing style.
- Comment on Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed 2 weeks ago:
I like that it’s a separate application. I had issues with the way OneDrive integrated with Windows/Office and conflicts with my corporate OneDrive account (this was a while ago, this may have been fixed).
I always prefer to have a full local copy (Google Drive, which a use for specific data has been really annoying with this) without using Cloud Files API or any extra features. A literal cloud sync of specific folder, nothing else.
I mostly use Dropbox out of habit (and because I have a grandfathered account). I’ve been meaning to switch to ProtonDrive (already have a paid account with them for email), just haven’t got to it yet.
- Comment on Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed 2 weeks ago:
One advantage of Dropbox is that it is not that integrated into Windows/office.
I use Dropbox, albeit I have an old free account with much more storage than their 2GB base.

- Comment on Alphabet posts big revenue and profit growth. 2 weeks ago:
Pichai steered around such questions on grounds that the case is in progress, but warned possible remedies “could have unintended consequences, particularly to the dynamic tech sector and the American leadership there.”
And monopolies also have consequences in terms worse pricing, fewer product offerings and less innovation.
- Comment on Meta is secretly building its own search engine. 2 weeks ago:
Meta AI (I didn’t even know this was a thing) has 185 M WAUs?
Is this a real number or some sort of misleading stats where they include people are only technically using it via some sort of hook into FB/Insta (don’t use them so not aware).

- Comment on Arc Browser - Changing focus when the main product isn't even finished? 3 weeks ago:
The plan this time is to build not just a different interface for a browser, but a different kind of browser entirely — one that is much more proactive, more powerful, more AI-centric, more in line with that original vision.
Who could have thought? These goons are so predictable…
- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 3 weeks ago:
Linus is a god for many of us… with human traits though… His Finland, although historically robbed by Russia, achieved its highest splendor during the decades of neutrality, not by fiercely antagonizing one or the other power… same as Switzerland, Ireland, Austria and Singapore.
Ukraine was neutral before 2014, that didn’t help avoid an invasion. Not to mention they occupied Moldova and Georgia before that too.
They have not been able to attack the Baltic nations or Poland because they joined NATO.
Neutrality word salad is only for the ignorant or those who support russian imperialism.

They honestly seem to be done with high-end “enthusiast” GPUs. There is probably more money/potential for iGPUs and low/middle level products optimized for laptops.

- Comment on Transphobia in the fediverse 1 month ago:
I don’t support transphobia, but this sounds extremely aggressive and almost unworkable. Who gets to decide what qualifies as “thinly veiled transphobia”? or “transphobic dogwhistles” and what approach is used to disperse bans?
For example, in many countries some people who might be generally supportive of trans people (in the sense that they would want you to be the best version of yourself) might oppose inclusion of transwomen in natal-women’s spaces. Does this qualify for an automatic ban?
Some might claim this is transphobic, but my answer to that would be: How do you know? Do you speak the local language? Have you lived there? Do you have any knowledge about the region’s history? Do you know what the attitude of the local LGBT community is to the above-mentioned example?
We shouldn’t limit ourselves by the assumptions (and polemics) of a given region even if English is the lingua franca of the internet. A lot of people in the world speak English as second language.
Hopefully more people from lemmy.blahaj.zone can go through the general communities on lemmy.world and the like and report as many of those users as possible so they can be banned from their instance.
I would definitely oppose this without addressing specifically what qualifies as “transphobia” and what the specific policies are with regards to moderator actions. Otherwise this is just some rampage witchhunt against perceived enemies.

Makes sense.
- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 1 month ago:
Perhaps the ad-free prime video subscription could be a viable option if prime has a lot of your favourite shows and you are opposed to piracy?
Not judging or telling you what to do. Just thinking out loud.
I would just go with piracy if you don’t want to pay the ad free tier.

Depends on what kind of games you play. Economic strategy games (tycoons, city-builders, large scale simulation games) can easily bring even a modern CPU to it’s knees.
