Ah, I get it. It took me a moment to realize the wheel is a cylinder and therefor a pole as well.
- Comment on TikTok signs deal for sale of U.S. unit after years-long saga 1 hour ago:
Things have changed significantly. Congress passed a law banning services from sending or storing data in adversarial nations including Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia. The change from the Biden to the Trump admin lead to Trump declaring the law banning TikTok would not take effect, allowing TikTok to continue operating.
Which is why I believe this voluntary sale is purely optics and that the data will continue being sent to and stored in Beijing.
All U.S. data traffic will be routed through Oracle Cloud.
This means the project will be maintained entirely online on rented and temporary servers.
- Comment on TikTok signs deal for sale of U.S. unit after years-long saga 17 hours ago:
Jokes aside, Andreessen Horowitz and Oracle are the aforementioned cloud service providers. Using them was the compromise China came up as opposed to otherwise having to centralizing on US shores. Until I’m proven otherwise after it’s online, China will still have full access and control over the systems, still harvesting and compromising sensitive data to send to Beijing and still manipulating a huge portion of Americans.

Meaningless with the algorithm being hosted on a cloud server and maintained by Beijing.

- Comment on “They burned millions but got nothing.” Japanese game font provider’s aggressive price hike could be result of parent company’s alleged AI failure and financial struggle 1 day ago:
I think the nVidia bubble is pretty inconsequential since they don’t actually produce anything which people rely on to live a normal life.
If we do degrade that far it will be because of Republicans reigniting WWII fascism.

It would be hilarious to see these companies going balls deep into AI only to suffer massive losses and try to push those losses onto others
if it weren’t so sad.

Surprised to see professions like this survive while so many other technical fields have died out in favor of simply producing newer (worse) garbage.
Practical effects studios are all shut down, animation is all outsourced to mostly mainland asia, film crews dont even worry about lighting or composition anymore becaus everything is done in post.
