Defence scientists say the technology could threaten low Earth orbit satellite networks such as Starlink at an extremely low cost.

Low Cost? It’s 100 Gigawatts. And the inverse square law is still a thing. In fact it’s the thing, the reason most sci-fi weapons can’t exist until we get infinite exponential power sources.

This will be amazing at missile defense and anti-air, however, thoroughly eliminating any reasonably distanced threat.

Does it still require a phone number, thus eliminating all possibility of privacy?

CachyOS is what Mint thinks it is, and could be if they didn’t go the debian route. It’s practically as easy as Mint, infinitely more performant, and likely runs whatever you want (though switching to appimage packages instead of deb packages for random internet software does indeed feel worse.)

Just a reminder, more likely than not Linux can do everything you do on Windows. Statistically your weird internal corpo program that was made bespoke over a decade several decades ago can just be run on a locked down VM. Everything else needs WINE, at most.

Wow you mean I too can burn electricity while stealing artist’s work so I can pretend to be an artist?! Wow mommy we can be homegrown douchebags these days!

Being pro-AI is the same as being pro-capitalist, and thus pro-orphan crushing machine.

Having your work stolen so that a soulless faceless corporate entity can charge teenagers to recreate it at will and pretend they have any talent or capability whatsoever is pretty shitty, and defending it is anti-proletariat.

Those are the settled ones so far. This is 4 years into AI existing. Lawsuits, especially copyright lawsuits, tend to take up to a decade in the US, because the US legal system is shit.

Here’s 118 currently in progress. Because AI is copyright infringement.

This is the weirdest sort of AI bullshit I keep coming across.

Hi this must be your first time on Earth in the last decade, every single AI company has been in or is currently in no less than ten dozen lawsuits over copyright infringement. It’s so bad there’s at least one website purpose built to track copyright infringement from AI companies..

Without a specific chain of custody for every piece of training data going into the models, there is a default that the model cannot be trusted and is likely infringing on someone’s copyright.

To specify the 'nothing AI is free" part, LLMs are grossly computationally inefficient. Whether it’s local or not.

And… Where are they?

Already installed on most distros.

Nothing AI is free. Unless there’s a chain of custody for all of the training data, it’s still unethical even if it’s used for a good thing. If I build a wheelchair ramp out of the flesh and bones of orphans I’m still not a very good person. And there are non-AI ways to accomplish this that are just as good that would require almost comically less resources.

This attitude is why Ubuntu, and only Ubuntu, recommends a minimum of 6 GB of Ram btw. You can run a full KDE system with onboard graphics and all the bells and whistles for less than 2 GB on other distros.

Hearsay isn’t evidence, hence why it is almost always inadmissible, in all court systems, across the world.

(Also, there’s more than that, but whatever. You’ve already decided you don’t care about it. Again though, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You just don’t like it.)

I’ve been arguing with you people for a decade. I have seen and heard everything your Masters and Owners say is totally evidence of a genocide. I’ve read through the UN reports which explicitly state it is not a genocide. I’ve read through the leaked US state department documents that explicitly state it is not a genocide. I’ve read through the CIA docs that state that they created the “East Turkistan” movement which spawned the terror attacks which caused China to crack down on terrorism in the region. I’ve read the released CIA documents that stated they attempted to do the same thing for Tibet and that at least one Dalai Lama was explicitly a CIA asset with no actual ties to the region.

I came to a different conclusion than you not because I know less than you, but because I have thoroughly reviewed everything your owners have to say, and find it less credible because of your owners’ actions.

Yeah, open sinophobia straight from the 1800s does tend to “rustle some jimmies.”

No, there’s hearsay. Not evidence. Not one “victim” or “surviving family member” has ever actually even testified to their treatment or presented any evidence whatsoever for the claim of genocide. They just say things happened. Incidentally every single one also is not and has never been a Chinese citizen. Which is weird for a genocide that supposedly happened in China.

Unless you’re counting the AI-generated “logs” that showed up 4 years ago, made headlines, and then promptly disappeared when it was pointed out literally all the text except a few names were absolute nonsense that vaguely looked Chinese.

Ars Technica, owned by Conde Nast and The Wired Group, both of which are owned by Advance Publications, is a zionist pro-billionaire propaganda outlet.

Fun fact, the owner of Advance Publications, officially listed as “the Newhouse Family,” also has a majority share in reddit and sits on its board of directors. In case you might be wondering where you got your bias towards it.

Firefox is unlikely to ever sell your data or redirect websites or participate in a cryptoscam or show you advertisements with an adblocker on. Brave has done, at one point or another, all of that.

Plus firefox is not manifest v3, so you can actually have a safe browsing experience whereas all chromium based browsers are now inherently more vulnerable to malware thanks to google.

I never thought I’d meet a homophobe defender brave enough to venture outside their own little pocket fascist instance of lemmy.

Here are some facts:

1. That link does not ‘debunk’ the fact that Brave was funded, in part, by Peter Thiel. It just downplays it.

2. Brave’s funding was a crypto scam, and selling the idea of ‘selling out to advertisers’ to investors.

3. They are so incredibly ‘committed to privacy’ that they keep selling user data and illegally redirecting users.

No, to answer your whataboutism, I’m not fine with the Mozilla board having Google members among others on it. I really hate that they are spending most of their money on not web browser development, and have spent most of their money in the last two years that was ear marked for browser development on AI features the majority of users turn off. But that’s still better than supporting Brenden Eich.

Why the fuck would they need to fund development when they’re funded by the antichrist himself?

These would be useless for AI given the high write requirements inherent to any form of ‘AI’ in use today; but data centers would absolute eat these up for low-write CDN usage, i.e. netflix which only updates their catalogue once every few days but needs high read speeds for multiple users. So we’d still be competing with data centers for them, but luckily just much fewer.

It would make (assuming it can fit in a standard 3.5" bay) petabyte+ home data servers pretty trivial to set up though which is pretty neat. 4k Jellyfin data hoarders should rejoice.
