I predicted this would happen as soon as they thought they had os all locked in - turns out even that was too generous...

- and in slightly longer: They️ have decided to drop any pretense that the stock market exists for any other purpose than to allow the already-wealthy to fleece as many suckers as possible, regardless of the cost to the rest of society.

The fox then took one look at where it had ended up & promptly went back aboard the ship.

@infonauten @svuorela De har vundet én sag, fordi de valgte at angribe en meget lille producent, som ikke dukkede op i retten for at forsvare sig.

@infonauten @trezzer Det var præcis hvad retten i USA sagde, da Fender i 2009 forsøgte at etablere en retroaktiv copyright på Stratocaster-formen - man kan ikke lade folk kopiere sit produkt i årtier uden at sige noget & så pludselig komme & ville have penge for det. Derfor tabte de sagen & har ikke copyright på formen i USA, og derfor forsøger de nu uden for USA, formentlig for at kunne gå tilbage & sige "Se, vi har rettighederne i EU" eller lignende...

This is half "You filled your server room with stochastic parrots & now you're surprised there's bird shit everywhere" & half "believing you can dictate the correct way of working to a bot with no correctness mechanism"...

"Understand this: rage against AI is white fucking hot, entirely justified, bipartisan, often indiscriminate, and inextricably woven into soaring disgust at the authoritarian-coddling extraction class. And you'll never be able to separate the two regardless of what your fancy new software can or can't do." - Karl Bode

@hannah @aparrish I've asked people this & they said they asked the chatbot to check its own results & then I asked them how they knew it wouldn't also make stuff up the second time around & they started stuttering...

The Fender thing is turning out to be such a poster case of "shooting off your own entire foot thinking you could bully everyone because you're rich", which itself exemplifies how business leaders are often the stupidest motherfuckers in the room.

They think they've got this thing DOWN! & know how markets work etc., but every time they get to act on it, they do themselves far more harm than good.

Reminder: This is while the vast majority of the data centers they claim will drive the "AI revolution" haven't even been built yet.

It's entirely possible that the projected quantities of compute necessarry to do what they claim will require more energy than we have access to.

I wish I didn't have to point out that that would be pretty fucking stupid even if it actually did something valuable, which it doesn't.

Also, would someone like to explain the logic by which corporations sitting on the exclusive supply of a resouce everyone needs to survive will make that shit CHEAPER!? - and this from fucking Gartner? Does anyone believe they aren't RIGHT NOW advising clients to bump up the price on their product if they have exclusivity?

(also-also, the existence of Jevon's Paradox is just another item in the pile of proof that economics is just an infectious form of stupidity)

Huh, so maybe not migraine actually - headache gave way to everything-ache during the evening & my entire body still feels like I was beaten with a stick... almost like the secondary symptoms of a flu but without the primary ones

Not a great way to spend the first real summer day in Copenhagen...

RE: https://helvede.net/@jwcph/116617249611898961

OK, trying this one out - it's called Typewise & seems rather cool as far as the input interface goes suggestions are not great but maybe it learns? Allegedly local-only, even paid for a single month to get the supposedly hard-offline, AI off option.

Now we shall see...

@lilithsaintcrow - or until something matters more.

@lilithsaintcrow FWIW what looks like most of the global guitar community just decided that we can live without literally our biggest, most storied brand because they're being dicks - history only matters until it doesn't...
