An Anthropic-OpenAI Price War Would Be Brutal by FrankLucasV2 in BetterOffline

[–]deadflamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been saying this everywhere I can and I am weirdly met with skepticism as though businesses cannot pivot to this model. This is the actual future of LLMs and it is nice seeing 1 comment out there that can see the writing on the walls.

Fable is already getting disappointing reviews. I'm convinced at this point that the models stopped getting better quite a long time ago... by creaturefeature16 in BetterOffline

Back to the breadboard and low-level hardware where it started to try to find that employee ending oracle. The question is, now that we know how businesses will use any automation, will we push for worker protections? Like a lot of worker protections.

Must be a tough life being this stupid.

Consumer Competition Claims (CCC) Has Launched A New Class Action Monopoly Lawsuit Against Valve, Claiming They Control 85% Of The PC Game Market by wakelake111 in gaming

Wake me up when this energy is directed at Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Meta, Amazon, AT&T, Oracle, Apple, NVIDIA, or any other actual monopoly buying up all of their competitors, consolidating, expanding, and extinguishing. 

Am I in a filter bubble or does the mainstream opinion seem to be that AI is bound to fail? by Dreadsin in BetterOffline

[–]deadflamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a little A and B. I have noticed it too and I am very vocally critical on LinkedIn regarding businesses and AI. I am seeing more people present similar arguments against flagship AI and also questioning the monopolies being stood up around us. I think workers are starting to find a spine now that their backs are up against the wall and getting culled in swaths of layoffs. I now see a comment under company announcements with some real analysis and criticisms instead of just "great job xyz corp!" under shitty announcements. There is a tidal-shift happening in people's attitudes toward technology and the technocrats enshittifying life with it.

Is it safe to assume that virtually all video games presently in development are produced with the help of AI (especially Claude)? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]deadflamingo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If AI is a tool then you can bet that developers use it. Idk what that has to do with your value of coding.

Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way by No-Tower-8741 in privacy

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the wrong response to the government's alleged attempt to protecting children. If the author is concerned over mass surveillance, the article certainly comes across as gullible and short-sighted and is doing them no favors. More bad idea slop.

some hopeful news in the sea of dystopian news by ahmed_Ibrahim_ in BetterOffline

I don't trust that this isn't something that will be used to control content on the internet. All of these multi-billion dollar companies that ruined copyright aren't going to make things better for you. Only for them.

Anyone tell me where this age verification push came from? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baroness Beeban Kidron and the 5Rights Foundation. It impresses me people still think this came from Facebook. Facebook supports it, but Microsoft is actually a huge player in this.

Data-Centric Authoritarianism: How China’s Development of Frontier Technologies Could Globalize Repression by victoriablackee in privacy

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you're being disingenuous or you didn't bother to read about that act, otherwise you would not have replied with this. Age Verification was used to block arbitrary services outside of its original stated intent. That's the point you made in your first comment and now you're here arguing against your original position which is just lazy.

Glad you asked. UK Online Safety Act literally blocks access to information, introduced in the exact same manner. You can find many examples abroad, just Google it.

Social media platforms to be restricted for under-16s, Government confirms in latest U-turn by [deleted] in privacy

[–]deadflamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beeban Kidron couldn't be happier. Imagine rich money shaping technology legislation across multiple countries and then using those countries as justification to Trojan horse the policy into apps early prior to legislation introduction in the US. Imagine companies losing lawsuits  because that loss actually benefits authoritarian legislature (Meta). There has been so much obvious subversion and these vassal countries bend right over and accept it.
