FWIW I just got an email from GitHub announcing that Copilot is now free for my account (a very basic one).

I honestly had no idea of the original Russian meaning of the gloss. To me ārefusenikā implies some sort of hard-left hippie.
Edit finally went and read the linked article.
Schneier and Sanders:
We agree with Morozov that the ārefuseniks,ā as he calls them, are wrong to see AI as āirreparably taintedā by its origins.
Morozov:
Meanwhile, a small but growing group of scholars and activists are taking aim at the deeper, systemic issues woven into AIās foundations, particularly its origins in Cold Warāera computing. For these refuseniks, AI is more than just a flawed technology; itās a colonialist, chauvinist, racist, and even eugenicist project, irreparably tainted at its core.
But the original term was not for people refusing to take an action - it was the state refusing to allow their actions! Itās done a 180, but considering no-one now remembers the plight of Soviet Jews attempting to emigrate to Israel itās not that strange.
Doctor Parkinson declared, āIām not surprised to see you here
Youāve got smokers cough from smoking, brewerās droop from drinking beer
I donāt know how you came to get the Bette Davis knees
But worst of all young man, youāve got industrial diseaseā
Diamond Age is an interesting idea, the original Primer was for the elite and used distributed encryption to farm out the qualified work to skilled artisans. In the end though, a cut-down primer (using some sort of AI? itās been a long time since I read it) is used to educate and train the girl army used by one of the faction in the final battle.
Itās not really explained but I suspect the OG Primer had a robust payment model that ensured that the service oculd be kept solvent.
Assuming the company will last 5 years is awfully optimistic.
sounds horrorshow to me
Pretty sure this person has been watching a lot of very inappropriate anime
RAFās aims were explicitely accelerationist - their terror would provoke a ferocious repressional response that would open the eyes of the masses to the repressive government and trigger a revolution.
being performatively worried about Japanese birth rates is a HN trope, for whatever thatās worth
āOur righteous warriors are only supposed to kill brown people and women, not captains of industry!!ā
Yes, the person briefly changed their username and then left the site (disowning their comments). There are 2 people with āinactive-userā comments in the thread that simply flounced off to greener pastures.
An update, a user stated, āwith all love and respectā: āpeople will not starting hating Brave but they will start to hate the mod who blocked Braveā.
2 hours later theyād removed their account.
Edās intended audience is probably more familiar with Beckettās play than some random indie game engine.
And right now South Koreaās president has declared martial law and banned all political activity, I guess sheāll be just fine with that.
LOL @ North Korea being āwokeā. If they are, why are they assisting Russia, the Rightās Great White Hope, in a war against a country that these people also denigrate as āwokeā? 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 donāt have to read the articles because people summarize the source material accurately in the title and summary
this is the funniest thing Iāve read all week, thanks for the LOL my dude
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
