Fair point.

For now.

DDG gets search results from Bing, owned by Microsoft. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the later did the same as Google did.

He’ll be 75yo in '30. Still viable as a candidate.

And, for '26, he’s still the one deciding who’s going to run for his party. One of the options is his wife Michelle Bolsonaro, a vulture from the same flock as her husband.

Now with Twitter out of the equation* they’ll have a harder reaching their base.

EDIT: actually scrap that. It’s only its offices, the service will be still available. Fuck it, now I’m sour.

So Bolsonaro won’t get elected again, uh.

I’m surprised to be saying this but thank you Elon Muppet.

[Off-topic] the name of your instance is awesome.

Musk often ruminates on the future of civilization. For one, he appears fixated on a coming “ population collapse,” threatening to wipe out humanity.

Yeah, because demographic decline is totally a threat to a planet of eight thousand million apes. Sure thing.

Musk has framed threats to free speech as yet another existential crisis looming over the world. And he is going to try his best to save it.

Except that he doesn’t really give a flying fuck about freedom of speech. Censorship is fine in his book as long as it is not targeted towards his own agenda. Enberg got it right.

Musk, meanwhile, is veering from cool nerd territory into what Kara Swisher, the elder stateswoman of tech journalism, recently called “the Howard Hughes portion” of an inevitable decline.

“Is veering”? Nah. He’s already out of that territory for years.

Could this all be part of a broader plan? After all, despite publicly criticizing Musk’s antics, those on the left continue to use his platform.

Hanlon’s Razor + network effect explain it.

That’s a great example of what machine learning is good for - practical, focused application where you only care about the general accuracy, and a miss or two aren’t a big deal.

Damage control.

Even if Mozilla survives it’ll need to cut off some spendings.

Perhaps. But they suck at it - people might be willing to suspend their disbelief and look over small issues when they’re overexcited, but AI’s phase of overexcitement is long gone, they’d need to show something more concrete to counter the bad rep. And poorly made propaganda is bound to backfire.

This, too. With some numbers they could even reason “look, this system demands X% energy, but you’re predicted to economise Y% in the long run, and Y > X”. But there’s nothing like that in the text.

Does the sheer amount of claims that boil down to “chrust us” in this text feel fishy for anyone else? They claimed a lot of stuff, but the only thing resembling a description on how the system works boils down to

It automatically collects data on how people use energy in their homes and identifies opportunities to charge and discharge home battery storage.

You don’t need machine learning for that. Unless they’re using the vague term “artificial intelligence” for something else; this vagueness also smells fishy to be honest.

The POTCS (President of The Circus States)? The Top Wig?

You’re welcome!

The parent company is little known, because it’s relatively recent (from 2015) and keeps low profile, so I’m not surprised that you didn’t hear about it. I think that its main goal is to make it harder to sue Google for enforcement of vertical monopolies, given that other subsidiaries deal with AI and with broadband internet.

Google’s parent company.

Despite the convenience of some of its tools, the hardcore tech set increasingly prefers tech companies like Signal or even Apple, which is currently running expensive TV ads about how other browsers (read: Google’s Chrome) spy on you.

One important thing to be mentioned is that, while Apple is correct when highlighting that Chrome is a privacy nightmare, Apple and Google are cut from the same cloth and they’re both user-hostile when it comes to privacy, monopoly enforcement, censorship, etc. Both deserve the hate that they get. (Alongside Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft.)

Sorry - I posted this link as further info for anyone who’s reading this. I didn’t want to convey that you need it; if someone else does want/need it, great.

Apparently, Cloudflare never received either of Senk’s counter notices, which is a problem since Cloudflare only allows a 72-hour window to contest a takedown notice.

This sounds like ClownFlare outright lying through its teeth. Probably not even to defend ClownStrike, but to not look incompetent.

Cody Doctorow talks about this. I won’t quote the link because the whole text is basically that, why people stick to hostile platforms.

But we all know they just want to see the line go up for the greed and would never reduce ads if people still watch with as many ads as possible.

Exactly - there’s no such thing as “we got enough income, so maybe we should be kinder to our users”, when it comes to Alphabet/Google/YouTube.
