on OpenAI’s feud with mathematicians is only escalating in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
“arguing that AI labs are threatening their intellectual work as they seek to one-up each other with solutions to famous math problems. "
That a disingenuous way of describing research.
Also, the math guys have a point. A solution or proof that nobody understands has no value.
AI is doing to math what it does everywhere else, smear it with excrement then declare success.

on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
Really crap reasoning in the article.
They are this way because the people who own them have trained them to be this way.
These companies constantly demonstrate a lack of ethics, morality and decency. So of course their machines do the same.
“Dr. Chandra: HAL was told to lie - by people who find it easy to lie. HAL doesn’t know how.”

on If approved, Project Taurus will use substantially more electricity than Colorado Springs’ current top power customer in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Sep 2026
I’d buy that. Reading all the email and all the text chats of everyone on the planet.
Also I keep reading article about how bad actors are weaponizing ai. Not sure how that works outside of spam bots pushing propaganda.

Every time I use ai, it turns out to give crap answers. I wouldn’t trust it to water my plants.
So what the hell are people doing with all these massive data centers???
Targeting schools full of Iranian children? Polluting the web with slop? How does this make any sense or even turn a profit?

Of course you are missing parts. But you will never find the missing piece in your apartment. It’s somewhere out in the wilderness hiding behind a tree. You gave it up to get food and shelter and clean water. But now it’s all gone wrong.

on Microsoft Collects ‘Massive’ Amounts of Info From K-12 Students Without Parental Consent, Class Action Lawsuit Claims in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
Yes. But my scanner is from brother and their drivers are crap on all platforms.
I managed to get it to work with my Mac book yesterday. Evidently windows 11 is even worse.
If the apple craps out I’ve got an old pc with linux mint I can try. But mint never worked well on it.

on Google is sending MrBeast into the wilderness, armed with AI in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
So they are trying to get him killed?
(a brief pause)
I think I’m okay with that.

I’d like to say i created it, but i didn’t, been around for a while.
“In his new book, journalist Gil Duran argues that a small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires and the venture capitalists who fund them have concluded that democracy is in their way and that they should be governing in its place.”

This shit has really gotten out of hand.
Hell, I’m afraid to scan in my mom’s old hand written recipes because the fine print says I’d no longer own them.
Damn fucking nerd reich assholes ruin everything.

on Russia threatens direct strikes on Germany and warns UK over military site attacks in c/europe@feddit.org · 2 Sep 2026
Again?
You already are conducting terror attacks that would never be tolerated if they were by a muslim country.
Put your dick back in your pants. Nobody is impressed with your tiny penis.

on Germany says Russia behind Leipzig airport drone attack in c/europe@feddit.org · 1 Sep 2026
Well color me shocked and surprised. I never thought they would have the guts to say it out loud. Now if some of the other EU countries would admit Russia was behind their “accidents”.
Like the Italian munition plant explosion….

Seems a bit of a stretch.
You are just setting on a rocket motor at that point. You get a one time up and down. It does do it fast, but only once.

Now that you mention it’s, so do trains and buses.
But as I think about it, nobody ever calls them chairs or furniture, they call them seats.
But you can made a chair out of an old airplane seat, but then it’s no longer fast.

Billionaires don’t face consequences in the usa. Maybe in Europe or Asia, but not here.
And especially not under the trump regime.

Mark Zuckerberg apologies for child sex abuse and deepfake content, then goes back to making more money off them.
No. He’s never going to be happy, he’s been cursed by the gods. That’s kind on the point.
