MADA - Make Americans Die Again. Because that is a real speciality of the US government.

Of course, they enjoy to make everyone else die, too.

Hot air baloons are still allowed. Perfectly good option if you do not care too much where you end up or how far you will go.

Claims that AI can help fix climate dismissed as greenwashing ( www.theguardian.com )

Erwartbar, wenn man einen Blackwaterrock-Lobbyisten als Bundeskanzler hat und dessen Partei in der Regierung den Ton angibt. Quasi Politk von Reiche für Reiche.

Not looking forward to that, I'll be toast in half second in a match that takes place well before the midday sun (a timeslot for absolute losers).

And all that so big tech can spy on you better.

Crazy! Just played a mission, takes me waaaaay back. I just gotta ask: did they also port the bug where the range of the Atreidis sonic tank depends on the game speed?

Great, now do Trans Men.

I think anyone forced to use Windows 11 in 2026 already knows that. Although there the term "run" is stretched to the limit.

There is a cheap beer brand from Bremen ("Hemelinger") that's running with the slogan "Reicht doch" which could be translated as "good enough".

Ah yes, the agenda of the Blackrock fanboy turbo capitalist minion.

Destroy social security nets to make people so desperate they will take any job at any conditions.

Soooo.... let's clone it and see what happens!

Not for productivity, but to keep the workers too tired to resist.

NVIDIA CEO Doesn't Want "Well-Respected People" to Criticize AI ( 80.lv )

"I think we've done a lot of damage with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative," Huang said in his interview with No Priors.

If Github just kills repos without explanation, then using Github for anything is a mistake.

Sounds like RokChip really needed to put their hand on that hot stove top to understand they'd get burned. Hope they learn their lesson and improve their handling of FOSS code in the future.

Better get some new leaders then that don't have their heads stuck up Trump's arse.

  • terrorizing trans people
UpperBroccoli ,

I have experienced something similar. I run a small forum for a computer games series, a series I myself have not been interested in a long time. I am just running it because the community has no other place to go, and they seem to really enjoy it.

A few months ago, I received word from them that the forum barely responded anymore. I checked it out and noticed there were several hundred active connections at any time, something we have never seen before. After checking the whois info on the IPs, I realized they were all connected to meta, google, apple, microsoft and other AI companies.

It felt like a coordinated DDoS attack and certainly had almost the same effect. Now, I have a hosting contract where I pay a flat monthly fee for a complete server and any traffic going through it, so it was not a problem financially speaking, but those AI bots made the server almost unusable. Naturally, I went ahead and blocked all the crawler IPs that I could find, and that relieved the pressure a lot, but I still keep finding new ones.

Fuck all of those companies, fuck the lot of them. All they do is rob and steal and plunder, and leave charred ruins. And for what? Fan fiction. Unbelievable.

Manuel Noriega might disagree...

There is no better way to proclaim to the world that you are an inhumane arsewipe than to block Doctors Without Borders.

I don't mind that you try to kill me. But protecting myself against your type gets expensive - and I'm on a budget!

The only correct answer is "far too long".

That's right, reject science, accept stupidity.

Ultralativ – Künstliche Intelligenz: Für euch reicht’s ( youtu.be )

Generative KI ist unausweichlich. Auch deshalb, weil Influencer, Fernsehsender, Marken und Co. eine Geisteshaltung entwickelt haben, dass generierte Imitate genau das gleiche seien wie Originale. Ist die Kritik an generierten Inhalten aus der Zeit gefallen? Beschweren wir uns nur über ein neues Werkzeug, oder geht diese ...

UpperBroccoli ,

Ganz einfach: "Generative" KI ist in diesem Kontext billiger, wiedergekäuter Müll, um mehr Kohle zu bekommen.

Yeah, that looks like oak processionaries. They can cause skin irritation and apparently asthma, too..

“I just got tired of being pushed around,” she replied. “I have something inside of me that’s stronger than what’s out there.

Oh is that like that one time in the late 90s when we were promised terabytes on adhesive tape?
Wonder what ever happened to that idea.

In capitalism, sustainability is not a goal.

It will be thrown in the trash, and the companies will reap big tax write-offs.
