    AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

    Dude, this is America 🙄. In the supreme court, its not about what is legally right or wrong, but who has the deepest pockets that will get hurt. The supreme court is absolutely nowhere to expect a sensible rulling on anything these days.

    Trump orders US withdrawal from the World Health Organization

    Oh they will remember very quickly, no doubt about that. Problem is, they will likely forget just as quickly, 4 years later.

    Trump says Elon Musk will lead “DOGE,” a new Department of Government Efficiency

    What's happening in America is what happens when you defund your department of education to the point that history, critical thinking, logic, all become stripped out of the curriculum. It's what happens when you run a "for profit" higher education system that traps 95% of its participants in...

    “Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers

    That is why materialism is nothing but a mirage. You think you've got stuff, but you really don't. At least nothing that truly matters. Better to focus on building lasting skills, relationships and wisdom.

    Here’s what’s really going on inside an LLM’s neural network

    Great article. LLMs are not some form of super consciousness. It's simply statistical math with pattern recognition. There is another article on dzone that illustrates this process for the lay person: https://dzone.com/articles/vector-database-a-beginners-guide

    No surprise—Russia vetoes UN resolution reaffirming ban on nukes in space

    Both the United States and Russia have vastly abused their status as veto holders on the UN Security Council, and have both contributed to making the world unsafe. If we are to make a better world, we need to reform the UN security council to remove the ability to veto any resolution. At least...

    Flying coach? At least you’ll be able to watch movies on an in-seat OLED TV soon

    Only a midgit will say something like "who needs legroom when you can watch OLED" Give me legroom any day and twice on sundays. You can keep your tv, oled or not.

    Apple and Tesla feel the pain as China opts for homegrown products

    This is a shortsighted view. People outsource their technology and goods from others because it's easier, not because building it themselves makes them stronger. Learning to become self-reliant by force is definitely hard, painful initially. But in the long run, it does make you stronger and...

    Apple and Tesla feel the pain as China opts for homegrown products

    Nationalistic sanctions always look so good, on paper. In the real world, they always tend to make the sanctioned more independent and stronger. We live in a truly globalized world, where people, resources, manufacturing, talent, and ideas, are no longer bounded by manmade borders. If we are...

    “Chromebooks are on average less repairable,“ laptop repairability analysis finds

    Agreed, its really sad that so called "educated" people cannot have an objective discussion if it does not align with their own. The article is clearly about reparability, and it is a known fact even amongst Apple users that Apple laptops have significantly and consistently dropped down the...

    Supreme Court may overturn precedent governing climate regulations

    🙄 America is no democracy. Its a Plutocracy with some democratic institutions, but none function as intended. The legislative branch has been thoroughly corrupted by gerrymandering and a severe lack of term limits, especially in the Senate. The executive branch is thoroughly corrupt with...

    How Huawei made a cutting-edge chip in China and surprised the US

    This was always going to be the end result and what many of us warned will happen. Chinese independence from American technology is the exact opposite of what we should be aiming for. We have just ended up creating a major competitor to face in the chip/silicon market while closing ourselves...

    FTC appeal in Microsoft/Activision case shows US regulator isn’t giving up yet

    The FTC is wasting everyones time and tax payers dollars. They are trying to run out the clock, and they know their appeal will fail. They didnt even bother to list the reasons for appealing. Someone needs to call the FTC chief and remind her that ideology is not a substitute for sound policy.

    Tesla sued after report that workers shared invasive images from car cameras

    Seems like a direct violation of European Data Privacy laws and a justification of Data Privacy laws as a universal right. In any case, thank god I never bought a Tesla.

    Microsoft/Activision deal will win EU approval, sources say

    I dont believe Sony's hypocrisy has gone unnoticed. In fact, I predict the next time they try to acquire someone, the entire game industry will come down on them like bricks in a falling house, especially if they dont promise to provide continuous publishing rights on other platforms like...

    ChatGPT-style search represents a 10x cost increase for Google, Microsoft

    No new technology is cheap at the offset, but AI based chatbots and search tools are here to stay. I use bing chat now to search the web in ways that so intuitive, I dont know how I survived till now. Simple example, I was looking for a new school for my son with certain conditions. Previously...
