It's nice to know that when you tell someone they are posting fake news, instead of removing the post or saying something, I just discovered they blocked me (bc someone liked my reply and I saw I can no longer see the original post I replied to)
I don't care if you are liberal or conservative, fake news is bad.
Especially when you are someone with over 5k followers who gets boosted a lot.
If people put alt text image descriptions in the pictures of.. I don't know.. let's hypothetically say graffiti.. that they were posting to make them accessible.
Just got asked to sign an open letter to OpenAI asking for transparency on their announced restructuring. You’ll hear about it soon enough, no doubt, given some “big names” are attached to it.
While I agree with the premise of the letter, there’s no way I can sign it after seeing the level of cluelessness and perpetuation of harmful assumptions regurgitated in it. It’s depressing to see those supposedly pushing back against Big Tech’s AI grift having themselves accepted the core myths of this bullshit.
It starts:
“We write to you as the legal beneficiaries of your charitable mission.”
What charitable mission? Are you idiots? You’re talking to a ~$4B organisation.
“Your current structure includes important safeguards designed to ensure your technology serves humanity rather than merely generating profit…”
Oh, really, that’s news to me. I guess I must be missing how their current bullshit serves humanity.
“However, you have proposed a significant corporate restructuring that appears to weaken or eliminate many of these protections, and the public deserves to know the details.”
Ah, so they’re removing the smoke and mirrors, is that it?
Then a bunch of questions, including:
“Does OpenAI plan to commercialize AGI once developed?”
You do understand that there is NO path that leads from today’s mass bullshit factories that are LLMs to AGI, right? None. Zero. Nada. You’re playing right into their hands by taking this as given.
“We believe your response will help restore trust and establish whether OpenAI remains committed to its founding principles, or whether it is prioritizing private interests over its public mission.”
What trust? You trusted these assholes to begin with why exactly? Was it the asshat billionaire founder? How bloody naïve can you be?
“The stakes could not be higher. The decisions you make about governance, profit distribution, and accountability will shape not only OpenAI's future but also the future of society at large.”
Please, sirs, be kind.
No, fuck you. Why are we pleading? Burn this shit to the ground and dance on its smoldering remains.
“We look forward to your response and to working together to ensure AGI truly benefits everyone.”
🤦♂️
Yeah, no, I won’t be signing this. If this is what “resistance” looks like, we’re well and truly fucked.
I have been guysplained to more times for this one post than in my whole previous history on Fedi.
If you're mad about "y'all", you missed the point of the post.
If you're looking up the etymology of "guy", you missed the point of the post.
If you're telling me that you don't think "guys" is a gendered term, you missed the point of the post.
If you're saying "dude, it's just a word", you're kind of a dick.
If you're thinking that "maybe cisheteronormative white man shouldn't be the default assumption just because they hold a disproportionate share of power and oppressors often influence language so as to make it seem like their way is the only sane way", then...damn, you were paying attention!
If you're like "omg, so much this", omg, ikr?? 🫂🫂
If you're typing out "I'll try to do better", thank you, that's all we ask 💝
@gamingonlinux If they're going to make a "Definitive Edition" of DoW, they should make sure to allow all the features to be accessed DRM-free! DoW Anniversary Edition did not allow you to use the LAN-feature, because it was deliberately removed... 😑
GOG needs to step up their game and make sure the DRM-free crowd does not get treated as a lower class customer.

We finally get #Curling back on American TV (CBS Sports Network), and they are prerecording and massively editing the matches to show maybe 10% of each match (maybe 20 minutes of a 2 hour match) #DoBetter
