Xitter or xAI shouldn‘t be allowed anyway and California cyberlaws are bonkers. I would hope both instances tear each other apart.

I see. So who‘s going to jail for this? No one again? Damn we need to start sentencing entire companies to jail time. Everything should be frozen and shareholders shouldn‘t be able withdraw stocks until the time is served.

That is assuming OpenAI‘s tools are actually that powerful and useful or that Altman can keep convincing the US government they are. I would say it‘s still a very fragile enterprise.

I still wouldn‘t bet against the AI market anymore. Because even though the bubble must burst eventually the US government would intervene. There is no free market, just oligarchs enriching themselves all the way to he top.

A brain ship will be the last subscription you‘ll need before leaving your mortal shell behind to enter the hive mind of the web where our souls are merged.

Or something along those lines.

Pretty much. They‘re essentially outlawing privacy so there will be no point in resisting. This is worse than Orwellian.

I did a Tiny11 install with Rufus, felt accomplished and then asked me the exact same thing. Have been running Linux for 6 months now and didn‘t boot up my W11 partition since last year.

This headline describes the disastrous state of Microslop perfectly. It gets worse with every written word.

I will not congratulate a terror regime that murders it‘s population in the thousands but I see the irony in big tech supporting Trump and now get to feel the consequences.

No I don‘t because I don‘t live in an Orwellian hellhole (yet) like most people seem to do these days. Even if I did your comment is an admission of absolute capitulation. What a sad worldview.

Are you ignoring the whole subsidies thing on purpose? This is not BYD attacking Tesla. This is the Chinese government attacking western industries.

Call me conservative but I think that would still suck. A society where everyone has a camera on their nose pointing at you sounds absolutely dreadful.

That‘s the main problem in Europe as well. I don‘t mind tariffs on heavily subsidized cars that are designed not to make profit but to destroy our industries. However, even then our manufacturers are in a constant crisis mode and unable to adapt. It‘s really pathetic.

But hey, when the car lobby is dead maybe that means more trains and cycling paths in the long run? Perhaps there‘s an opportunity here.

The point both of you deliberately overlook is that China is not participating in a free market anyway. They never played by those rules so there‘s no point in treating them the same way as anyone who does. There is a lot of hypocrisy to be found in politics and economics around the world and China itself is a prime example of that. But a measure to defend yourself from an obvious case of economic warfare is the most understandable thing in history. Your criticism is misplaced and irrational. I mean do you seriously think a monopoly is desirable?

I mean it really isn‘t based. Not at all. But it surely does what you expect to happen when you keep poking in a hornet’s nest.

Did you mean Microslop and… actually, Discord doesn‘t even need a clever nickname.

Chat (G)reedy (P)ower hungry (T)errorists.

Companies that use Outlook use Microslop Teams for communication anyway. I work for one of those and honestly? Not my problem. I can‘t make them use open source software and I‘m not paid enough to convince them.

We wouldn‘t even need it for that if their Windows store versions of browsers weren‘t so terrible.

My teachers taught me to never ever give my personal data away to strangers for my own safety. Now politicians want to force everyone to do just that. For safety reasons…

Why the hell would you use an AI tool for giant data sets of sensible data? Someone needs to go to jail and that company shouldn‘t exist any longer.
