I want to raise my voice. I try to remember my dreams.

Fascism is a loser ideology. Trans rights are human rights. Abolish borders and eat the rich.

I do silly things with software. Compulsive database implementor.

When a few months ago I admonished #Firefox for adding #AI crap, the response I got was "well, it's all local so it's good"

You were wrong. There is no good or local AI. It's all a scam.

ChatGPT "navigation", whatever that is, is coming to Firefox.

#Microsoft to "invest" $3.2bn in #AI in #Sweden, "drawing on the country's green energy"

When you read that "AI consumes as much energy as a small country", that country is now Sweden.

And this basically means the country's public power infrastructure is being sold out to private interests.

Shit like this makes me livid.

seeing whether reading the elon musk sues sam altman lawsuit would bring pain or joy, and as always I love reading the "guy sues everyone" style lawsuit because who are these precisely 100 other people listed as Does here?

Also is et seq. the rich guy etc.? and is complaint (5) just "Accounting"?

Lawsuit header, superiod court of california in and for the county of san francisco CGC-24-612746 ELON MUSK, an individual, Plaintiff, vs. Samuel Altman, an individual, Gragory Brockman, an individual, (a bunch of OpenAI brand names), and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive --- Complaint for Breach of Contract Promissory estoppel breach of fiduciary duty unfair competition under california business and prof(?) code 17200 etc. and Accounting

    @jonny Excellent point. There are definitely EA vibes to the whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised that they are seeing this lawsuit as foundation for some absurd claim that ChatGPT has some independent existence or whatever.
