You could buy an anemic one now, and then upgrade the RAM & storage once prices come down.

Techbros are the result of the capitalist mode of production. You have to get rid of capitalism to get rid of techbros.

I guess this is as good a place as any to start regulating AI. It won’t stop the most committed CSAM fuckos, but it could mitigate its proliferation.

Thee years ago, What does a leaked Google memo reveal about the future of AI?

Now techies are abuzz about another memo, this time leaked from within Google, titled “We have no moat”. Its unknown author details the astonishing progress being made in artificial intelligence (AI)—and challenges some long-held assumptions about the balance of power in this fast-moving industry.

“The barrier to entry for training and experimentation has dropped from the total output of a major research organisation to one person, an evening, and a beefy laptop,” the Google memo claims. An LLM can now be fine-tuned for $100 in a few hours. With its fast-moving, collaborative and low-cost model, “open-source has some significant advantages that we cannot replicate.” Hence the memo’s title: this may mean Google has no defensive “moat” against open-source competitors. Nor, for that matter, does OpenAI.

Vote DeepSeek for Congress 2026

Only for the highest-end, smallest-process chips, and I doubt they’ll be the world leader for much longer.

ADVENT was the first computer game I ever played, on a DECWriter III terminal connected to a PDP-11. I wasted so much paper. I could only play it when no one was around because it used so much memory that the other three terminals couldn’t be used.

Robert De Niro to the rescue

It’s not pettiness. These are brave defenders of the liberal international order.

FYI, lately it’s a different user (or account, anyway) who downvotes your non-negative articles about China.

obvious bluff is obvious

“Mechanical Uyghurs” — Tony Blinken, probably

I didn’t do anything; I’m just the messenger.

I didn’t know these batteries could absorb energy at this rate, and I wonder if this would ding their longevity. I’d assumed that you’d need supercapacitors to pull this off.

Some interesting languages have gotten serious traction since 2000. I wonder how RedoxOS is doing. It seems that contributions haven’t flagged.

Remember when everyone said TikTok was an evil seeseepee plot to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids?

How a careless, incompetent developer moved fast and broke things, specifically his company’s production database.

Because they’ve never heard these things any other way, so

Hmm, yeah the ethno-state that is china has never done anything wrong, especially not to its own citizens.

Ethnostate? I think you’re thinking of Israel. The idea of a “Han supremacist” state comes exclusively from Western propaganda, and the “Uyghur genocide” is a psyop[1][2][3].

Sure, but the people of china don’t have much say. If they voice a critical opinion they’re silenced, doesn’t seem like they’re allowed to choose.

More propaganda. By their own account, Chinese people feel they’re being heard by their government, much more so than Americans do. You can say whatever you like in the US because free speech here is like shouting at the wind.

You’d rather live under a dictatorship

Yet more propaganda. Meanwhile the US has never been democratic; it’s always been an oligarchy.

Propaganda can be overcome by developing real media literacy.

Even if China were doing that, what would they do with the information? Nothing, because they don’t give a shit about you, because you’re on the other side of the planet. They’re not doing that because they’re not cartoon villains wasting their time and effort on nefarious plots against Western randos.

Also, almost all of your current hardware came from China, so I guess you’re not actually that worried about it.

Tempest, especially if the museum lets us play it on a genuine arcade machine; and Shadow of the Colossus.

The same Germany that is denying the genocide it is currently supporting and is suppressing anti-Zionist voices?

Some people seem to think LLMs are oracles of truth, so if you wanted to rewrite history, this is how you might try to go about it.

I’m not sure that works, because AFAIK there currently are no such regulations, and this bill was preemptive of any future ones. In any case, what got blocked in the Senate was a ban of any future such regulations.

Oh good, it will be in the public domain.

OpenAI, which is also fighting a string of copyright lawsuits, donated $50 million this year to a group of research institutions including Oxford University’s 400-year-old Bodleian Library, which is digitizing rare texts and using AI to help transcribe them.

When the company first reached out to the Boston Public Library, one of the biggest in the U.S., the library made clear that any information it digitized would be for everyone, said Jessica Chapel, its chief of digital and online services.

“OpenAI had this interest in massive amounts of training data. We have an interest in massive amounts of digital objects. So this is kind of just a case that things are aligning,” Chapel said.
