This might be the fish that girl cared for after her master (seen in a few comics).

But i cannot find any reference for these 2 people.

The normal human look, clothes, lack of brainbus makes me think this is in the past somehow. That these are ancestors of girl somehow looking into the future. But then its a different fish.

PSA: “Archiving” is a general legal-neutral and safe term you can use with co-workers.

Wether i am also a pirate one may speculate but i am always an archivist.

In a way they can but the rich live in a very weird world of pretend so depending on what their answer is there may be pretend consequences and altered perception of their worth.

Altman responded that simply their charter of “for benefit of all man kind” is enough reason to decline but he carefully mentioned that the actual bidding price would not matter to come to that decision. He is friends with fascists but not stupid.

For context:

This bid is an attempt at a threat because it overvalued the perceived value of the non profit side of openai.

Openai has a known perceived total value. (dont know how much exactly) Musk wants to lay the argument that by refusing his bid. Most of that value is in the non profits side and thus less in the for profit side.

This is a threat because the profit side is where openai partners, like Microsoft have their stake. So its lowering the perceived monopoly money of those shareholders.

Of course can be ignored. OpenAi has stated they can refuse on many other reasons unrelated to the bidding price.

Also OpenAi is a fascist collaborator just like musk.

Just because they tricked half the population into becoming collaborators doesn’t mean it’s not the owning class versus the common people.

Don’t get me wrong, there will be fights along political lines, they will be used as cannon fodder but just like any war the opposing soldier is not your enemy, those that guide the actions of those solders are. Propaganda will do one heck of job making sure gullible people believe they have no choice.

Racism is form of cancer but it has been demonstrated many times that on a individual level it can be cured.

“When it detects a user may be under 18, Google will notify them that it has changed some of their settings and will offer information about how users can verify their age with a selfie, credit card, or government ID.”

Selfies are useless as proof for young adults and people with a young face. No algorithm can tell a 17.11 yo from a 18 yo so it will flag every single one of them.

This is a way to normalize handing over your details for the next generations. Nothing more.

The good news isn that once teens figure out that other browsers and search engines don’t stop them from finding porn they might stick with them.

Doesn’t seem like that was his goal.

Feels more like a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ reaction on the bid.

That said, cant rule out that its all theater to obscure the fact that Sam recently endorsed Trump and is working close with government, just less visibly then Musk.

No neck zipper? How sureal.

The Israel State committing genocide is horrible but how is this relevant to Sutkevers start up and AI?

The only slivers of an Israel connection i could find are.

• Sutskever was born in the Soviet Union moved to Israel at the age of 5 and lived there till he was 16 before moving to Canada.

• The picture they used in the article was taken at a university in Israel 2 years ago when he was still a part of OpenAI.

• The startup does have offices in Palo Alto (US) and Tel Aviv (Israel) but thats a silicon valley kinda place, literally all the major tech players have an office there. And i fully agree that is something we should be skeptical about, but its not something you can single American company out on.

Source? Sutskever is a ex OpenAi founder and the one who tried to oust Alman for being to corporate.

There is no need to communicate like this. I actually had already learned about this app and checked it out yesterday on a different community with way less people and there was no article there. I just saw the opportunity of this post as way to discuss it.

I like to make a few things clear that seem to cause confusion.

1. I made my post in full understanding that it probably does not feature a “preference based algorithm”, trying it out did not gave it the impression it did. But i want to be more sure there is nothing along those lines included and tried to engage in discussion about the need for preferential settings. Its somewhere between a genuine and rhetoric question.

2. Call me pedantric, trough i prefer autistic but “algoritm” has like i explained a specific meaning to me. Its mathematical formula for a specific purpose. The app in question is code, code is math. Randomizing code (which are never truly random btw) uses an algorithm. You can not tell me that the app uses NO algorithm, well oc you can but to my brain that does not compute. Any form of customizing the feed, even a hack, would be algorithmic in nature.

3. I disagree this (and many things) require a full fledged article, just a clear few line description or like including those quotes you put up here would do for me. I know the internet likes to make everything into “news” but i don’t have to like or partake in that. I prefer to spend my time engaging on lemmy about the topic directly because that (this diverted discussion included) helps it grow.

Its not presented as being specifically made without.

There is plenty of room for more ethical algorithms and to get technical. It definitely does have a algorithm.

A very basic formula that simulates randomness to pick one Wikipedia page after the other.

I just wish i could customize that to my interests. So for example it favors articles tagged as ancient mythology and minimizes politicians from the 90s

I understand their stance but it is a bit sad because if i could tailor it to my interests i absolutely would use it all the time.

Wikipedia is massive there is way more that i don’t want to read then there is that i do.

Personally i think there is roam for a “not insane, Fully transparent and user controlled” algorithm but also that would take a lot of developer effort.

Does it have an algorithm of some kind?

I usually hate them but for something safe like wikipedia i would love to have it tailored to my interests.

Not for s second do I believe this was a accidental oversight.

I am sure they had very good reasons, all alligned with their actual interests with no thought spared to even consider consequences for small fish users.

I just realized. Windows 10 is being shelved but there is only one version ahead of it.

I remember xp still being considered good when i had win 8 installed.

How is that not understood as as a blatant attempt to maximize user control?

Actually looking at the numbers xp and 8.1 retired within 2 years of eachother. And 10 first got retired in 2020 a year before win 11 was released to make way of windows as a service updates which is actually what is getting retired later this year.

Microsoft kindly please get your shit together… or dont and strengthen my work requests to migrate systems to Linux.

Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.
