The media drooled all over him and carried him until he declared war on them. Look up news of him before 2020, there is hardly anything negative (and there should be, he’s been manipulating stock and treating employees like shit, like the other Billionaires). When did the media say anything critical about hyperloop? You live by hype, you die by hype.
I’m not making any point, I want to know what you want to discuss instead of this. Maybe it’s something I haven’t thought about. What is a worthy c/technology material to you that does not get enough attention?
No, you’re sealioning, this is a waste of time :/ he’s at least as scummy as any other billionaire, like Zucky, Bezos, Gates, Thiel and all the other ones nobody hears about.
Ok, maybe there is too much chatgpt spam in tech subs (and other even worse topics, like social media company meltdowns). What do you want to discuss then? You have zero posts so far.
Wait, but was this an actual research paper published in an academic journal? I thought it was just research journalists xD
True, checking whether a number is prime is very limited in scope for chargpt, but this is in line with other reports of progressive dumbing down.
Oh, right, that’s another factor: connecting gpt4 to the real-time internet creates those training loops, yes. The pre-prompt guardrail prompts are fixable and even possible to overcome, but training on synthetic data is the key here, because it’s impossible to identify what is artificial, so on the collapse loop goes.
Wait, what? Have you ever heard of longtermism? “Your stupid peasants’ suffering today matters little if we can take humanity to spaceTM. Don’t hold back progress.” If this is not enslaving humanity and shitting on the poor, I don’t know what is.
The point of federation is that there are thousands of instances that no monied asshole can just buy and ruin for everyone. If you like that, Reddit,twitter,FB,tiktok are just there…or just join one instance and pretend it is the only one. What is the problem exactly?
True, but if you wanted those things before AirBnB, they existed, they’re called aparthotels e.g.: https://www.booking.com/hotel/es/art-las-palmas.es.html?label=gen173bo-1DCAMYsQIoggJCGmxhcy1wYWxtYXMtZGUtZ3Jhbi1jYW5hcmlhSApYA2i7AYgBAZgBCrgBF8gBD9gBA-gBAfgBAogCAZgCAqgCA7gCp7PVpQbAAgHSAiRkYWQxZjI5NS1hMDBhLTQxMzYtOTI3OS1jNWM1OTczYjAxYWTYAgTgAgE
with a kitchen, washing machine, etc. Very common in touristy areas for decades.
The main difference between an AirBnB and a generalized hotel is that the former is supposed to be inhabited by the owner most of the year. The others are hotels pretending to be something else.

PS: works 😁
I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.
It wasn’t that bad, gold just signals that the comment is good (intensity), but some of the other awards made explicit the way in which it is good (hue/flavour) e.g. funny, informative, creative, sarcastic…I actually liked the award system (even if I always was a bit suspicious of who was giving them and what their intentions were)
Because he used his money to turn a townsquare into truthsocial 2.0 and now is paying trolls to stoke division. He is not a good actor.
PS: just to be more explicit: there are amoral people who screw you over without even noticing it, that’s how the game was set up, ok. But that is not what Elon is doing. This guy went out of his fucking way and took a loss to ruin a platform for everyone. Think about that. Imagine going out of your way to hurt yourself so you can hurt others more. And this guy says he wants to manage a Mars colony and lead humanity into the future. Please, Jesus, no.
Knoppix in 2nd year at Uni. It made me more productive because there were few distractions from programming. So zen.
Great examples there, particularly firefox. The moral here is that there is no black-and-white or even a spectrum from community to corporate, but a set of incentive structures from the bottom to the top that are set up to maximize the likelihood that a product will reach its originally desired behaviour towards the community or the investors.
Meta: this post needs to be a community.
E.g. Wikipedia is community-driven because people contribute individually without a lot of coordination and without anybody telling contributors what to do, same for game mods. I guess by “corporate-driven” you mean there is a hierarchy and people whose job it is to do what management says e.g. Wikipedia foundation runs the infrastructure that hosts the community content and the same for most games. I’m not sure I’d call it “corporate driven” unless it has board members and investors demanding a profit such that they influence the decisions downstream, like reddit.
It’s a bit like the whole “infrastructure ain’t sexy” argument. As the chief executive administrator, you’re paid to “strategize”, when sometimes, you just need to keep the engines running and the bills paid, but in today’s society that’s not praised. You need to capture people and investors’ ADHD-span, make megalomanous plans that can’t possibly ever come true or be some guy who fires everyone to attempt to grow profit margins.
Hah, good to know that even on programming@programming.dev there are people who agree that stack overflow moderation is too draconian to ask questions in anymore. It’s a good resource, though, so an LLM will probably be the answer to make the knowledge base more usable without angering its elder gods.
