outside1234··on Why isn't LA repaving streets?
Weirdly what I bet you find is that the services move to where the white rich people are and are removed from where they aren't.
outside1234··on Why isn't LA repaving streets?
A number of cities in Northern California are doing just this. We have at least 12 high density projects being built in Santa Cruz and we are a small city.
outside1234··on Hegseth gives Anthropic until Friday to back down on AI safeguards
Sam would sell his mom to make $0.50. Pretty sure he will be willing to do whatever the Pentagon wants.
outside1234··on Trump Fake Electors Plot
That reads like racism to be honest (not you, but the general Washington voter, if true).
outside1234··on Discord cuts ties with identity verification software, Persona
Ooof. So no more OpenAI, Twilio, Lime, Square, ...
outside1234··on OpenAI, the US government and Persona built an identity surveillance machine
No, the mark of the beast is everyone in the Epstein files
outside1234··on Discord cuts ties with identity verification software, Persona
Who IS still using this verification software?
outside1234··on Trump Fake Electors Plot
Just unbelievable that people voted for this guy again after this.
outside1234··on Binance fired employees who found $1.7B in crypto was sent to Iran
Probably a bribe from Trump to Iran
outside1234··on Spain’s LaLiga has blocked access to freedom.gov
"censorship" (aka not allowing hate speech from Nazis)
outside1234··on Global Intelligence Crisis
“Harassment” = following rules and laws?

For the 180 on AI regulations you are going to have to explain that to me because as far as I can see there wasn’t any regulation under Biden of AI

outside1234··on Global Intelligence Crisis
Is that Musk's vision? Because he just elected the guy that is gutting all of the safety nets that would enable the second part.
outside1234··on Phil Spencer is exiting Microsoft as AI executive takes over Xbox
How do we know Asha is not AI. She certainly looks the part.
outside1234··on Productivity gains from AI coding assistants haven’t budged past 10% – survey
This. The key bottleneck in many organizations is the "socialize and align" on what to build. Or just "socialize and align" in general. :)
outside1234··on Microsoft guide to pirating Harry Potter for LLM training (2024) [removed]
The dataset is actually at Kaggle tho, but agree, they shouldn't use it as an example.
outside1234··on Microsoft guide to pirating Harry Potter for LLM training (2024) [removed]
I mean they are also offering up the code you are writing in your private repos to LLMs to regenerate in my repo, so let's just go nuts.
outside1234··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
Well, admittedly maybe I should have said "rational to Elon on Ketamine"
outside1234··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
This is actually a rational explanation for this. Perhaps Elon wants to sink the whole industry until he can actually build a self driving car like Waymo's.
outside1234··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
Just imagine how bad it is going to be when they take the human driver out of the car.

No idea how these things are being allowed on the road. Oh wait, yes I do. $$$$

outside1234··on Stephen Colbert says CBS forbid interview of Democrat because of FCC threat
This. We are in very serious trouble people.
outside1234··on Stephen Colbert says CBS forbid interview of Democrat because of FCC threat
This is obviously true. The real challenge here is that this rule is only going to applied to one party.
outside1234··on CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC
All we need now is for zompolits* to be attached to all companies and we too can raise the sickle and hammer!

outside1234··on 10 years building vertical software: are we cooked?
Also, has nobody thought about operations? I pay SaaS companies so I don't need to think about operations. It is insane to me to think that people think a restaurant company is going to suddenly want to get into managing the operations of its vibe coded accounting app. Absolutely not.
outside1234··on News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns
If they don't have a business model we won't have newspapers to complain that we don't have archives for.
outside1234··on IBM tripling entry-level jobs after finding the limits of AI adoption
It is IBM after all
outside1234··on Switzerland to vote on capping population at 10M
Let’s pretend it’s within the constitution. How are they going to enforce this?

For baby 10M+1 are they going to tell a Swiss woman that she can’t have a baby?

In any case, this is definitely not conformant to the treaty that the Swiss have with the EU around rights of free movement.

outside1234··on Switzerland to vote on capping population at 10M
So what you are saying is that these places have not built enough housing. That sounds like the actual problem, not the population size.
outside1234··on OpenAI has deleted the word 'safely' from its mission
Scam Altman strikes again
outside1234··on 11.8M EU citizens pay taxes to governments they cannot vote for
For Austria and Spain this would mean 10 years (at least) of not being able to vote and THEN renouncing your birth citizenship. Not sure this is a very pragmatic solution, unless the goal is to keep immigrants from voting.
outside1234··on A party balloon shut down El Paso International Airport; estimated cost –$573k
This wasn't the military. It was DHS, who is lead by the cosplaying cowboy hat lady, so this sort of incompetence should be completely expected.
