Its a godsend when you have to use Windows for whatever reason and you can have a functional OS to do things with.

I hope you dont play video games or stream HD video, given that they use more electricity for less social benefit than this would.

I’m struggling to understand what the criticism is here, minster for technology meets with tech companies too much?

Information published by the government shows that from July 2024 until December 2024 – the most recent period for which there is data – Kyle held meetings with people representing or advocating for technology companies 28 times.

Google, Amazon and Microsoft were present at five of those meetings, the data shows, while Meta attended four.

So the big tech companies were present at ~1 in 6 of the meetings with tech companies.

In August Kyle met all four of those companies, and others from the industry, to discuss AI regulation.

This year he has met AI companies several times, according to documents obtained under freedom of information rules by the website tech.eu. Those meetings include three with the US AI company Anthropic, as well as a two-day flurry of meetings in February during which he saw executives from OpenAI, the chip designer Arm, Google DeepMind, ElevenLabs and Synthesia.

Maybe I’m being naive somehow but that all reads as minister for X meets influential people in X to discuss X.

So despite me giving my opinion that that style of posting seems (to me) to be condesending you decided to apply that same style of message, which i just said I thought was invasive, to me?

I get you think you are being nice but trying to force unearned intimacy comes off as creepy.

And unless you are Stephan King or the like exactly how are you going to get the publishing cartel (I think they re consolidated downs to 3-4 publishers now) to change their contract to not include this? Their response will almost certainly be either “that’s non-negotiable” or “ok then you get half as much money”.

Maybe this is a culture clash thing, but FWIW, to me your post comes across as incredibly condesending asking a total stranger about their mental helth and implying its bad like you were their close friend.

As much as you can hold a computer manufacturer responsible for buggy software.

I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.

Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.

That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.

I think is one of the main reasons for why there is such a lot of hostile discussion online, people read something which they infer as a hint of something they dont like and from there extrapolate into the worst person they imagine who could be saying that and proceed to righteously strike them down (with words).

When I did my undergrad the core modules had upwards of 400 people in them, never had a single multiple choice test in my entire degree. Thats a choice not a neccessity.

He could see AI being used more immediately to address certain “low-hanging fruit,” such as checking for application completeness. “Something as trivial as that could expedite the return of feedback to the submitters based on things that need to be addressed to make the application complete,” he says. More sophisticated uses would need to be developed, tested, and proved out.

Oh no, the dystopian horror…

I dont think Bill Hicks is on Lemmy.

Its a shit article with Tech crunch changing the words to get people in a flap about AI (for or against), the actual quote is

“I’d say maybe 20 percent, 30 percent of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software”

“Written by software” reasonably included machine refactored code, automatically generated boilerplate and things generated by AI assistants. Through that lens 20% doesnt seem crazy.

Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.
