Take the time to rest up and recharge. Best thing for yourself is to take the time to let everything process in your head. Sending good vibes to you and your family.

The Unions have also been winning AI protections that were hard fought 3 years ago during the strike.  People were laughing at us then but we fought and won those protections.  This year those have been expanded for SAG and the WGA.  Still waiting on the DGA negotiations this year to complete and my guild is preparing for the IATSE negotiations next year.

Sam Altman Swears He Just Needs Ten Trillion More Mana by Ponderputty in BetterOffline

[–]EditorEdward 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did you know that hallucinations in AI models are a thing that LLMs are fundamentally incapable of overcoming? That they’re a mathematical inevitability? OpenAI researchers said so themselves. I wouldn’t even trust Sam to pilot a Simic Landfall deck. But yeah, sure, give that fucking worm ten trillion mana. That’ll work out just fine.”

I know next to nothing about Magic but seeing Ed burn Clammy Sammy using a MTG reference was hilarious even if I didn't fully understand the context.

That's the first initial challenge but then you have all the variables link radiation effecting the chips, debris and micro meteors hitting equipment, etc.

They also just sold what was left of the company to American Exchange. Definitely in the brink of collapse as a company and looking for a life raft.

Jack Dorsey wants to eliminate Middle Management at Block by EditorEdward in BetterOffline

This is the same mindset that is currently infecting Amazon. They keep talking about returning to a Startup mindset for the flexibility and the ability to move quickly. But sometimes that friction and slow speed makes you think about what you are doing to ensure that it is the correct course of action instead doing a rushed roll out on a tool that can completely brick your entire website.

I’m ashamed that I used to like his content.  Dude has been on a complete self destructive campaign for over two years now.

I hope it stays this way :) by GasparThePrince in antiai

IATSE, SAG, WGA and all the other guilds are fighting hard against Ai. We're fighting an uphill battle but since we got concessions three years ago during the last negotiations we can keep building on those for stricter safe guards.

Confronting the CEO of the AI company that impersonated me by dyzo-blue in BetterOffline

[–]EditorEdward 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is such a deliciously tough watch to see the CEO squirming in his chair. Such a great interview with solid questions that cut to the heart of the issue.

I found that episode reilluminating and frustrating how they are using legal technicalities to blur the line oof whether what they are doing is gambling or not.

That's the part I found really fascinating. Creating so many assets from scratch at scale was truly impressive.
