Ex Nummis

Nopepad now.

I actually think the young crowd at MS would resist this. This looks much more like a top-down decision from marketing overruling engineering.

Independence would have been the best possible outcome, although I agree it was unlikely at best.

I remember posting about how giving HK back to China would inevitably lead to this outcome.

That was in the early 2000’s. So incredibly sad to see it happen exactly as predicted.

This reads like the beginning of a long questchain in Cyberpunk 2077.

Epstein famously flew them to his Island on his Lolita express. There was no law enforcement there as it was all private. That’s one way to flaunt international laws.

Turns out, people have long memories when it comes to having their loved ones slaughtered.

He was not the spider in the middle of the web pulling the strings. He had people above him.

I am convinced I’ll be one of them (genetic predisposition). I’m gonna get killed by my own ass. Which in a certain way is incredibly on point for me, but I digress.

Just 1/3rd. But the other 1/3rd stood by and watched it happen, which is almost just as bad.

Wanna bet Trump is going to use the non-joining of allied nations as a pretext for turning on them even more? “These countries can’t be taken seriously, as they refused to join the board of peace, which means they are fundamentally against peace”.

First, its results are often simply wrong, so that’s no good. Second, the more people use the AI summaries, the easier it’ll be for the AI companies to subtly influence the results in their advantage. Think of advertising or propaganda.

This is already happening btw, and the reason Musk created Grokipedia. Grok (and even other llm’s!) already use it as a “trusted source”, which it is anything but.

You can set up any AI assistant that way with custom instructions. I always do, and I require it to clearly separate facts with sources from hearsay or opinion.

Nothing wrong with DEI, although Ubisoft has always laid it on thick with their pre-game “this game was developed by a multicultural, multi-anything blablabla” messages.

Like, I don’t care about that at all. Give me a quality game, I promise I will never give a crap about the skin tone, religion or sexual orientation of its creators. That’s just not my fucking business.

Anyway, I don’t think DEI killed Ubisoft. Terrible leadership and total lack of vision did that.

Man, it would be so easy to show proof of this if it happened.

But Musk paying millions for votes (in a “lottery”) is a-ok though.

Allow me to ready the world’s tiniest violin for a serenade…

Good. These people should become complete pariahs of society, shunned at every possible point of interaction. Long after they resign, even. I hope peoples’ memories aren’t too short.

So now we have to assume that everyone using Nvidia hardware has an open backdoor for the Mossad. Very nice. Fucking lovely timeline.

As someone who used to be a notorious Apple hater, Apple Silicon has had me change my mind. They still charge fairly ridiculous markups, but for workloads it leaves intel & amd dead in the water.

I see people are still treating this like the joke it very much isn’t. I doubt many of us will still be laughing in a few months.
