being performatively worried about Japanese birth rates is a HN trope, for whatever that's worth

Yes, the person briefly changed their username and then left the site (disowning their comments). There are 2 people with "inactive-user" comments in the thread that simply flounced off to greener pastures.

An update, a user stated, "with all love and respect": "people will not starting hating Brave but they will start to hate the mod who blocked Brave".

2 hours later they'd removed their account.

Ed's intended audience is probably more familiar with Beckett's play than some random indie game engine.

And right now South Korea's president has declared martial law and banned all political activity, I guess she'll be just fine with that.

LOL @ North Korea being "woke". If they are, why are they assisting Russia, the Right's Great White Hope, in a war against a country that these people also denigrate as "woke"? But hey, never let facts or logic get in the way of a good grift.

you know why people use reddit and lemmy because they don’t have to read the articles because people summarize the source material accurately in the title and summary

Thanks for expanding. I think every company that has a biggish community has to deal with nazi entryism.

This was the story I remembered about this

Isn't there a huge neo-nazi subculture around Paradox games, with weird mods and stuff?

Yet again, the best way to profit from a gold rush is to sell shovels.

 

After several months of reflection, I’ve come to only one conclusion: a cryptographically secure, decentralized ledger is the only solution to making AI safer.

Quelle surprise

There also needs to be an incentive to contribute training data. People should be rewarded when they choose to contribute their data (DeSo is doing this) and even more so for labeling their data.

Get pennies for enabling the systems that will put you out of work. Sounds like a great deal!

All of this may sound a little ridiculous but it’s not. In fact, the work has already begun by the former CTO of OpenSea.

I dunno, that does make it sound ridiculous.

 

"Oh no! - Anyway" meme intensifies.

 

Pretty soon, paying for all the APIs you need to make sure your Midjourney images are palatable will be enough to pay a human artist!

 

Also the hivemind seems to have taken against ~~tweets~~Xeets, a stunning reversal from last year when St. Elon was gonna usher in a new Dawn of civilized discourse.

 

Sorry for Twitter link...
