Beryl , to World News in Brazil's Bolsonaro's vaccination records are false, authorities say

Well, at least this shows he's an actual conspirationist idiot, and not only faking it to please the mob while getting secretly vaccinated. So, kudos for the sincerity I guess?

joemo , to Technology in OpenAI CEO Altman says at Davos future AI depends on energy breakthrough

I like how many years ago, the limitations to programming was the hardware. This led to programmers needing to be creative with their solutions. Maybe they should find better ways to train their AI...

This is still a hardware limitation, just at scale.

bdonvr , to Technology in Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March

I give it 2 months before they axe or further cripple old.reddit prior to IPO, should give Lemmy another wave of new users.

stallmer ,

If I were them I would definitely keep it up at least until the IPO so they can still count that traffic.

zoostation , to Technology in OpenAI CEO Altman says at Davos future AI depends on energy breakthrough

So the silver lining to no energy breakthrough soon is they'll eventually have to give up on this AI shit because they can't make it run profitably.

You give them too much fucking credit. The rich are an entire class of people who don't know how to take "No" for an answer, they'll just burn every last drop of fossil fuel in pursuit of... something? and then say "oopsie doodles" when it's all gone and they still haven't gotten fusion off the ground.

zoostation ,

But they're not profiting. Eventually they'll have to stop throwing away their money speculatively.

kakes , to Technology in OpenAI CEO Altman says at Davos future AI depends on energy breakthrough

What we really need is another paradigm shift in AI. Current transformer models are great, but they're clearly not quite what we're looking for.

That said, an AI breakthrough on that scale is about as likely as an energy breakthrough, so I guess there isn't much practical difference, really.

Truck_kun , to Technology in Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March

I think this is a great time for remaining Reddit users to do a 3 month Reddit detox.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Going out on a limb here: Is AI really an efficiency and productivity increasing device if we have to *checks notes... have an energy breakthrough to be able to functionally use it?

It sounds to me like rich people are admitting it actually takes more resources to support AI than it does fucking workers who already exist and don't need a fucking energy breakthrough to function.

"There's no way to get there without a breakthrough," he said. "It motivates us to go invest more in fusion."

Seriously.

Founded in 2005 by web developer Steve Huffman and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, Reddit became best known for its niche discussion groups and its users voting "up" or "down" on the content posted by other members.

I appreciate this extremely sly shade at Steve Huffman.

He's not an entreprenuer because he didn't do dick between leaving Reddit and coming back to Reddit whereas Ohanian had a few other companies in his back pocket.

I mean, Ohanian sucks, too, but this sentence is just Reuters kicking dirt in Steve Huffman's smarmy little bitch face and I'm fucking here for it.

Shoutout to all the tip of the spear folks here on lemmy for devaluing reddits ipo. Even if it makes a minimal dent kudos for taking the more difficult road and standing on principle.

I've tried to go back to Reddit occasionally and it's garbage, vastly more garbage than I remember last year, from the web design down to the userbase. Whereas I can't recall a single time I've been on lemmy and encountered an [undeclared] bot

Just today I noticed how low skilled the reddit base seems to be in my general meme/tech/piracy thrmed feed.
So many basic questions that could literally be answered by or get a start on from ChatGPT etc.
Instead they pollute the subs with their low effort requests for help or guidance.

Example: How to get started on pirating anime.

That was a legit title...

Hyperreality ,

The younger generation is less tech savvy than the millenial generation who were forced to figure stuff out themselves and didn't have smartphones.

I get the idea that a lot of people who emigrated to the fediverse are older and also more tech literate given all the linux memes.

Appoxo ,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don't want to bash those folks that want to liberate themselve but this is either a designed request to engage discussions (state a correct fact, nobody responds vs. state a purposefully wrong fact and everyone and their dogs will come to correct them) or they are literally unable to search google on how to pirate.

This is like being unable to look up porn by themselve searching "Woman tits naked".

Hyperreality ,

You have a point. Helps increase engagement, like making a spelling mistake or rage bait.

Tiresome, but common.

Same. It's pretty damn terrible.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod ,

The fediverse has better memes anyway

RizzRustbolt ,

Although the Star Trek memes factionalized faster than I would have expected.

Pons_Aelius , (edited ) to Technology in Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March

They are about 2 years too late.

The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.

The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

lemmyvore ,

It would be such a pity if it turns out the protests caused him to miss the good window.

The protests came several months later, I doubt they had any effect. The end of the line was last January.

Puts on that IPO.

Disgraceful, disgusting, lying scum. Say his name: Aaron Swartz

Aatube ,

Aaron Swartz actually didn’t found Reddit. He built a similar company that wasn’t gaining traction, and as both of them were under y-comb and Reddit secretly seeded fake accounts, Swartz and y-comb decided to merge into Reddit. Swartz was sort of their first and hardworking employee instead of a co-founder.

IndyRap ,

Reddit doesn't exist without him period full stop. His didn't get traction and theirs didn't work.

Not the same thing.

Aatube ,

Agreed.
