We don’t. But did you question for a second that this “couldn’t” be real? I didn’t.
Does this sound like something that is happening every day? Yes, most definitely.
Hell it’s at least one of the more non-violent ways I’ve heard of it happening.
Or John Wick.
This is just stupid and cruel. It serves no purpose. I would love to think the people responsible will get their comeuppance but I know it won’t happen.
Not to sound like a tankie but China has made smarter decisions with regard to power generation. The current shift away from renewables (and shift back to fossil fuel) AND more reliance on central power generation are great for billionaires but just dumb for every other reason. And with the what appears to be advancing in battery technology more distributed solar cells with local storage would free up more power for the power hungry data centers. Not to mention the AI programs there are not run by douchebags like Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman.
I also think the current path of AGI study via more advanced LLM research is the wrong path. A language generator is never going to be “smart”. But what do I know, I don’t have billions of dollars and lie constantly.
My brother and ex-wife were both psych majors so I’ve heard lot about this experiment. I’ll give it a shot. Mac, windows or Linux. I’m pan-OS-ual 😀
Fuck Spez
I would love to join this program to send them on so many wild goose chases. But they’d probably arrest me for obstruction or some made up shit.
I haven’t snooped on the traffic but at the very least it was encrypted back to google. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also signed somehow.  If it was easy, somebody would’ve already cracked it, especially with all the brouhaha about them dropping support.
Finally someone with some balls. Funny how it’s a woman though.
Good on her.
You know if the title was just “China bans influencers” I’d be ok with it.
I wish I could upvote this 100 times
I’m already on a bunch of lists. What’s a few more. I should collect them like steam cards.
Honestly I’d pay as much as $50 to unlock my Microsoft sync to CarPlay on my old explorer.
I mean they could just unlock the dang things at let some industrious hacker make them useful again. Hell I’d pay like $10 for a firmware that would work with home assistant.
I wondered how long it would take for that url to pop up. I will never ever rely on any Google product. Except maybe Gmail but I have an alternative plan should that go belly up.
A simple open api could extend the life of these things by decades.
Doesn’t that already happen with infrared radiation?
Isn’t it incredibly difficult to shed heat in space since the only real way to move heat is radiation?
I actually work for a large university in the digital education department. We do have tools like this but I’m pretty sure it’s for python. It could probably be modified for other uses however. I’m a hardware guy or I’d know more about it. If you’re interested I could probably get some more info or get you in touch with the devs that created it. DM if you want some more details.
Sam, I say this will all my heart…
Fuck you very kindly. I’m pretty sure what you do is not “a real job” and should be replaced by AI.
Or just give all your money away to poor people. By my calculations that would be about $25k per poor adult.
