In the context of Omarchy, the salient desire is to avoid affiliation with fascists. Which NixOS hasn’t exactly excelled at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NixOS#Community_controversy
(I say this as someone whose main laptop, desktop, and homelab are all NixOS.)
The second graph doesn’t really even tell the whole story either, because it’s just by release. You need to see how the number of bugs detected/fixed changes over time for each release.
Otherwise super-new releases get an unfair advantage just by virtue of not being exposed for as long. And super-old releases get an advantage too, by falling out of use at the same time more resources are allocated to detection.
AI bubble will pop by 2030. (I fucking hope.)
Idk.
It was hard to find things even with a search engine, and it was full of scams and spyware, and obnoxious designs that got in the way of the real content, and the most popular chat rooms were run by power-tripping nerds with too much free time and an endless interest in CSAM and Nazi ideology.
Not like today, where… uh… well…
if you fuck it up they will bail for another platform
They might also start using another platform. But they’re unlikely to leave completely.
Cory Doctorow put out the first hour of the audiobook on Enshittification for free, and it covers this very well.
To be clear: I’m saying that an ongoing supply of pure water is a requirement of the cooling method they chose, not that they were required to choose that method. The poster I was replying to asked how water could actually be consumed and not just reused.
They need to use very pure water, and it evaporates completely, so it must be continually replenished.
Funny story… Flock is already pitching that.
Flock? Or other models? Cuz I don’t think they’re training license plate OCR via scraping Reddit posts.

In 2016, various media outlets reported that Mr Thiel had links to the radical life extension startup Ambrosia, with Gawker claiming he “spends $40,00 per quarter to get an infusion of blood from an 18-year-old based on research conducted at Stanford on extending the lives of mice.”
These reports cited his investment portfolio, together with a 2009 essay that laid out his philosophical and political beliefs. In it, he wrote that he stood against “the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual.”
However the blood transfusion claims were never verified and Gawker shut down shortly after following an unrelated lawsuit partly funded by Mr Thiel.
I loved my Eee PC so much.
I’ve been watching and hoping for a modern ARM equivalent, but haven’t seen anything quite right so far.
Lemmy when gun death: “Gun proliferation was absolutely a factor, and we should throw red paint on anyone who gets on TV to say this is ‘just a mental health issue’ or ‘about responsible gun ownership’. They will say regulation is impossible, but people are dying just cuz Jim-Bob likes being able to play cowboy.”
Lemmy when AI death: “This is a mental health issue. It says he was seeing a therapist. Where were the parents? AI doesn’t kill people, people kill people. Everyone needs to learn responsible AI use. Besides, regulation is impossible, it will just mean only bad guys have AI.”
The way This Guy capitalizes Random Words drives me INSANE.
If you wanna be president of the United States, you should at least learn the language.
What? That’s not what the article says.
They already prosecute people under the unauthorized access provision. They just don’t prosecute rich people under it.
Because how to use it is baked into what it is. Like many big tech products, it’s not just a tool but also a philosophy. To use it is also to see the world through its (digital) eyes.
AGI doomers, yes.
I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.
Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.
Like a fancy autocomplete.
And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.
Like nukes.
I agree, and I think your points line up with Doctorow’s other writing on the subject. It’s just hard to cover everything in one short essay.
Plausible premise, and it will be interesting to see what happens.
Two things though:
