  at least there is that. but will it also mean that future cases like this will also get similar sized fines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial; Ordered to pay woman $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  not saying anyone should do it, but vigilante justice might be only way to get justice nowdays if megacorps are involved.

  if there is no malicious intent in adding this, they really should learn to read the room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  well, obviously. that happens on some external service. There shouldnt be any support or ways to connect to such services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom says it 'will not implement assets generated by AI into our game content,' but still plans to use AI to 'enhance efficiency and boost productivity' in game development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and likely also ai generated plotlines and other stuff, just maybe tidied up by humans.

  I’m almost certain that crimson desert did something like that. Even though the game looks very good and has good content, everything just feels so… uninspired. The quests too you do to random people, like there was some smith that has broken his hammer and cant use it. When you turn in the wood for the hammer, he basically just goes “I can use my hammer again” and that is that. Pretty good looking game and completely without a soul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robots will solve wealth inequality, they say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  where will they get the profits without customers though? If all companies got what they wanted and replaced employees with robots, people wouldnt have jobs and couldnt buy anything. Do they have endgame for that scenario?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I prompt injected my CONTRIBUTING.md – 50% of PRs are bots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  just dont make this too obvious to the companies that do this if its possible, otherwise they will try to hide their bots better.

  Also, is there a “tos” for open source projects, kind of like what is acceptable behavior and what is not? Directly calling out ai generated “contributions” as malicious and unwanted would at least remove the facade from them as non hostile.

  Like, if someone trys to add malicious code to the project, that is definitely gainst some kind of agreement, no? So add slop to it too.

  There are some places one can contact: competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/…/contact_en Email Digital Markets Act team: EC-DMA@ec.europa.eu Contact DMA team: …ec.europa.eu/contact-dma-team_en ↗ Contact your Member of the European Parliament directly: zeyus.com/contact-mep-representative ↗ Email Antitrust: COMP-GREFFE-ANTITRUST@ec.europa.eu competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/…/contact_en

  I tried sending a message to one one, i forget which, and they essentially replied that they see nothing wrong with it, so more people need to complain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  they want to suppress the developers, not users. By making it so bothersome, so many people will just stop using sources from outside google play. First they do this and at some later time they will add more hoops to it. If they manage to strangle any developers that make stuff, people will have nowhere to turn yet they cant complain either because google will have undeniable monopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  using llm to program is nuclear bomb level security disaster in making. Eventually they will have ousted anyone competent out and affter that no one will be there to fix the security flaws that llm generated code creates. I just hope the companies that get the worst of the consequences also deserve them.

  i’d say only americans that have cause to be proud of themselves are the ones who are actively opposing what is happening to your country.

  i can even kind of think of how to manage something like that, it would just work on only with 100% remote work and would also require quite a lot of cooperation and competency from the clients

  the problem was probably more about being potentially an operative for north korea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if usa was a democracy and people had any power, maybe…? might as well try oust putin out of power, maybe the response is still less violent than it would be in russia, but you’ll have as much success. Though with enough people demanding something, change happens or steps toward change start to happen, but way america is you need really thorough rebuilding of your entire political system for things to get better.

  But as quick patch one thing that comes to my mind is abandoning both sides of your oneparty system and starting a third pary, but that is just temporary because eventually it will be either taken down or corrupted, but it might give you at least something without having to resort to more violent measures.

  I see, then that is indeed part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So something good might come from all this potentially?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, and also when compared to literally drinking poison or shooting yourself to the head. What does it matter regarding the issue at hand if there are other things that are also bad? What would you compare the cosmetica to when its time to consider the bad stuff that causes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “safe” level does not mean ineffective level. Maybe its not danger to health but it can still cause something bad. Maybe it accumulates in time, maybe it cases changes in the body that cause something slight that you wouldnt even think to link to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  see it as it is; full of shitty people with maybe some decent ones sprinkled here and there, owned by even shittier people.

  Develop some contempt towards corporations in general -> it goes long way to help resist their bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haha yes society is great⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Expectation to spend money sidelines all the people who cant afford it. Its not nice to sit somewhere and watch everyone else buying stuff and knowing you yourself cant.

  Third spaces = freedom to come and go and stay as you please.

  Try going to some cafe and never buy anything at all, but spend entire day there. See how it goes for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  using and trusting llm at all for something like this is the crime here…

  but then again, maybe this is just test run for taking away “unwanted” people, using handily mistaken facial recognition as excuse. If cases like this start happening more its propably that, and if they start happening enough people will lose interest and it wont be covere by media so much anymore. And after that they have neat system where they can capture anyone they want and can claim “mistake” if they get caught.
