Seems a bit early in the game to start nickel and diming their customers. Especially when Claude Pro is cheaper and is actually better in many respects.
Technically, 80 messages every three hours is better than Claude Pro’s ~45 messages in five hours but that’s only during peak times. If you’re mostly using Claude at night you’re basically never going to run out (with casual/human-speed chat usage).
Management: “Perfect!”
No. Infinite free accounts based on email addresses with no rate limiting are ruining “the web”. Rather, what most people think of, “the web” (i.e. Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Whatsapp, and a few other big sites) is what’s getting “ruined”.
Think of it like a game that suddenly becomes free to play after years of being a normal, pay-for-it game. It almost always ruins the game! AI slop has become so cheap it’s basically a free, new bullshit generator that can be very convincing.
When there’s no cost or consequences to bad behavior, bad actors will take advantage of that. The same is true for the web in general.
The solution? Stop using sites that allow (or index) bullshit! Use sites that have proper community moderation. Sites that don’t rely on the good will of a giant corporation.
Instead of searching for that thing in Google, maybe try searching Wikipedia directly (it does have a decent search engine). Use trustworthy sites and tools that curate content (like Lemmy).
I hate to admit it but we might need to go back to the Yahoo model of search engines except instead of Yahoo we have communities building the index.
Apples themselves originated in Kazakhstan 👍
Lemons, northwestern India.
The American flag in the background should also be marked as, “Made in China” 😁
The rule applies to workers earning at least twice the average local wage in Florida, which is about $140,000 in urban areas, plus those who have access to confidential employer information.
What job doesn’t have access to confidential employer information? 🤔
It’s just a fancy suit for a Raspberry Pi 5.

FTFY.
Now that I’ve been on Lemmy (and other federated social media) for a few years it has become abundantly clear that not all social media is created equal.
The big social media platforms are designed and activity manipulated in order to stress you out and keep you engaged. Federated social media is much more organic and doesn’t have that problem.
I mean, it can still stress you out but not in the same way. For example, every cruel dumpster fire that comes out of Republican governance stresses me out but that’s the news. It’d stress me out even if I heard it from NPR.
Whereas if I read that same news from Facebook I’ll also get to read racist high school classmate’s take and see my own family members “liking” and “loving” similar hateful messages. Facebook will then notice how “engaged” I became when I reply pointing out how wrong they are (with lots of references/links to reality) and fill my feed with more stressful garbage that reminds me just how much many of the people I know are complete shit human beings.
So yeah, just a bit different 🤣
I want to see a similar study done on people who regularly read/post to LinkedIn. Firstly, so I can find out, “who TF even are these people‽” And secondly, to find out if they were insane before they started doing that or if LinkedIn pushed them over the edge.
I think you mean Rust, old timer 😁
These folks are all giving great advice but also let us know when you’re ready to really fuck around and have fun with your Linux superpowers 😀
You, in practically no time at all: “Nearly everything is working great! Now I want to make my desktop change it’s background to NASA’s picture of the day while also putting all my PC’s status monitors on there. Oh! And I want my PC to back itself up every hour over the network automatically with the ability to restore files I deleted last week. I’ve got KDE Connect on my phone and it’s awesome!”
Then, later: “I bought a Raspberry Pi and I want to turn it into a home theater streaming system and emulation station.”
…and later: “What docker images do you guys recommend? I want to setup some home automation. What do you guys think of Pi-hole?”
“I’ve got four Raspberry Pis doing various things in my home and I’m thinking about getting Banana Pi board to be my router. OpenWRT or full Linux on it? What do you guys think?”
…and even later: “I taught myself Python…” 🤣
Missing:
To summarize: Requiring installation by electricians means that people will still DIY… They just won’t bother to get a permit/get it inspected.
Whereas allowing DIY encourages permits and inspection.
It’s just like that scene in Gattaca where the police use a DNA-testing handheld vacuum to collect evidence after that beautiful mechanical keyboard was murdered.
The courts need to settle this: Do we treat AI models like a Xerox copier or an artist?
If it’s a copier then it’s the user that’s responsible when it generates copyright-infringing content. Because they specifically requested it (via the prompt).
If it’s an artist then we can hold the company accountable for copyright infringement. However, that would result in a whole shitton of downstream consequences that I don’t think Hollywood would be too happy about.
Imagine a machine that can make anything… Like the TARDIS or Star Trek replicators. If someone walks up to the machine and says, “make me an Iron Man doll” would the machine be responsible for that copyright violation? How would it even know if it was violating someone’s copyright? You’d need a database of all copyrighted works that exist in order to perform such checks. It’s impossible.
Even if you want OpenAI, Google, and other AI companies to pay for copyrighted works there needs to be some mechanism for them to check if something is copyrighted. In order to do that you’d need to keep a copy of everything that exists (since everything is copyrighted by default).
Even if you train an AI model with 100% ethical sources and paid-for content it’s still very easy to force the model to output something that violates someone’s copyright. The end user can do it. It’s not even very difficult!
We already had all these arguments in the 90s and early 2000s back when every sane person was fighting the music industry and Hollywood. They were trying to shut down literally all file sharing that exists (even personal file shares) and search engines with the same argument. If they succeeded it would’ve broken the entire Internet and we’d be back to using things like AOL.
Let’s not go back there just because you don’t like AI.
It is true. What’s your upload speed? 😁
Fiber connections are synchronous. Meaning that the download speed is the same as the upload speed.
A gigabit fiber connection gives you 1 gigabit down and 1 gigabit up. A “gigabit” cable connection gives you 1.something gigabit down (it allows for spikes… Usually) and like 20-50 megabits upload.
Fiber ISPs may still limit your upload speeds but that’s not a limitation of the technology. It’s them oversubscribing their (back end) bandwidth.
Cable Internet really can’t give you gigabit uploads without dedicating half the available channels for that purpose and that would actually interfere with their ability to oversubscribe lines. It’s complicated… But just know that the DOCSIS standards are basically hacks (that will soon run into physical limitations that prevent them from providing more than 10gbs down) in comparison to fiber.
The DOCSIS 4.0 standard claims to be able to handle 10gbs down and 6gbs up realistically that’s never going to happen. Instead, cable companies will use it to give people 5gbs connections with 100 megabit uploads because they’re bastards.
NOTE: Computer Scientists are the folks that do lots of math to figure out the best algorithm to use to solve any given computational problem. It’s a very specific subset of programming.
For a long, long time companies sought to hire people with computer science degrees as software developers under the impression that these were the best people for developing software. This was a very bad assumption.
Turns out, computer scientists are often terrible at software development! They don’t usually teach things like how to best organize large projects or even basics like source code management or software deployment/management in CompSci programs. Yet those are the actual skills employers need these days.
Want to get a job in software development? You don’t need a degree at all! What you need is to demonstrate your skills with whatever tools/software employers are demanding. The simplest way to do that is with posting some open source code to GitHub (or similar).
When hiring—if the person I’m interviewing has a public repo that uses the tech we’re using—they’re basically hired immediately. At that point the only thing I care about is, “does this person seem OK-ish to work with?” LOL! Easiest hire ever 👍
From a copyright perspective, you don’t need to ask for permission to train an AI. It’s no different than taking a bunch of books you bought second-hand and throwing them into a blender. Since you’re not distributing anything when you do that you’re not violating anyone’s copyright.
When the AI produces something though, that’s when it can run afoul of copyright. But only if it matches an existing copyrighted work close enough that a judge would say it’s a derivative work.
You can’t copyright a style (writing, art, etc) but you can violate a copyright if you copy say, a mouse in the style of Mickey Mouse. So then the question—from a legal perspective—becomes: Do we treat AI like a Xerox copier or do we treat it like an artist?
If we treat it like an artist the company that owns the AI will be responsible for copyright infringement whenever someone makes a derivative work by way of a prompt.
If we treat it like a copier the person that wrote the prompt would be responsible (if they then distribute whatever was generated).
But that’s no fun at all!
Most people want a system that lets them dress politicians in lame, opposite-sex, revealing clothing. Why else would such a system exist? Nobody cares what they (themselves) would look like in such clothes!
I’m sure in the 2.0 version there will be a “chest” slider—due to popular demand!
An ancient and proud race of telephone sanitizers.
Next year: OpenAI declares bankruptcy and news articles will say, “what happened with AI?”
