Totally agree. Microsoft has invested way too much in openAI to have a repeat of the Sam Altman debacle. They will formalize their control of te company. And Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s side.
Also, any openAI developer who thinks that openAI currently is an independent company is kidding themselves. Microsoft is effectively already calling the shots, al be it in a roundabout way.
None of these events are noteworthy by themselves. Max they merit part of a sentence as an example of an ongoing trend.
Exception if one of the events turns out to be a handy symbolic point to indicate a change in the world order.
E.g. Serious human contribution to global warming which started in the early 20th century kept a pace and peaked in the early 21st century. Public opinion began to sour after an increased occurrence of climate disasters, such as tsunamis and forest fires.
Or: The Russian successor state to the soviet union did make token efforts to reassert its power in Eastern Europe, such as the 2021 war in Ukraine. However those efforts ultimately proved futile and by 20xx all former Warsaw pact countries, excluding Russia itself, had joined the European union.
I wouldn’t trust anything “found” by Israeli intelligence. Having said that, according to article, these are plans for:
Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.
Which is reasonably close to what happened. Given how direct and quick the strike was, it’s reasonable to assume that plans of that nature exist.
Then again, October 7th was a a Saturday and a holiday and Hamas attacked early in the morning. If they wanted to kidnap kids, it wouldn’t make sense to target schools.
TLDR: I dunno. Maybe.
I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.
Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.
Speak for yourself.
Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.
Jimmy Carter may have not have been a great president and the US government may have sone some shitty things while he was in charge, but he is probably the most upstanding American president of the last half century. Pretty much everyone after (with maaaybe the exception of Obama) has been of lesser character.
Which, now that I’ve written it out, sounds really sad. The best the country could do was Jimmy Carter, who … wasn’t great.
Holy shit. I completely forgot about download managers.
This is why most corporations have PR teams. Trying to convince folks of blatant lies like, “I’m just a regular guy, with the same concerns as other plebs”, is not as easy as it looks.
Tbf, this is probably it. It’s just a kneejerk reaction to seeing two shootings at the same time in a region where mass shootings are uncommon.
This and shooting in stockholm. Wtf is happening?
Tell me about it. I keep trying to get my coworkers to organize, but they’re all a bunch of corporate cocksuckers.
As long as Mozilla remains committed to a free and open internet, I will remain a faithful firefox user.
Even if every update after this one is a useless UI change. :p
Latinos for the win, bruh.
Is there really no downsides to eating the rich?
Tbf, every moderately old software product is a collection of built-up stupidity.
Go for walks in the middle of the night. Like in a residential neighborhood, or an industrial district. It’s just so peaceful.
The US does have its long track record of doing the wrong thing to uphold.
