Pretty sure the 2nd advisor isn’t actually a computer scientist/developer or if they are they are absolutely employed as Technical Sales for a consulting company. Otherwise their answer would have looked incredibly similar.

And they do not markup domain prices. You pay what they pay.

I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.

AI Tools - plural. ChatGPT (and OpenAI as a whole) predominantly runs on Azure infrastructure. Microsoft also owns GitHub with its associated copilot. And now all the Microsoft product specific copilots.

Not trying to defend their usage, but there are several forests here that are quite visible.

So many people don’t get this but it’s extremely important. Jack Smith and Fani Willis have been extremely careful and smart in the charges they have brought. They can add more later. And many think they will. But if you are going after the mob, you better make sure your charges are in order and you have a sure fire case or it will come back to bite you.

Because his only plan, and the only plan that has even the slightest chance of working, is to delay.

Delay and bank on winning the election. Then have his new AG drop the charges and pardon himself.

Look at the 3 big cases. Respond on the last possible day. Challenge everything even if there is no reason to and they know it won’t go anywhere. Just the challenge slows things down because it has to get litigated.

Trump has used this tactic for decades with his casinos and other properties. Something in your way? Tie it up in litigation until it no longer matters and then drop the suit. But now it’s in overdrive and much much worse.

Yep. And this one in particular everyone was expecting.

On a cursory glance the argument may make some sense, however taking part it a conspiracy isn’t a protected action. As long as there is a half competent judge hearing this motion it shouldn’t last long.

I questioned my sanity for a bit after your first response until I realized what the diet actually was. I was properly confused!

If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.

Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.

I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.

I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.

After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.

That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.

Sorry for my ignorance.

I wonder what the historical timing was between filings for GPT 3 and 4 and their public announcement/release.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The fact that these articles are making fairly large headlines is proof enough that this event is backfiring.

A couple days of engagement traffic do not outweigh the negative PR and advertising impact from this event.

If you were a company, you might think twice before advertising on a site that has their users actively, publicly, and loudly trashing on the CEO. It says a lot that it’s happening in the first place. Says even more that they aren’t able to stop it.

Also, look at the activity numbers here. I’m not trying to trash on Lemmy, but we are a drop on the bucket. It’s far more effective for us to be visible and loud than silent and ignored.

For clarity sake, I’m not encouraging anyone to go do anything, nor the other way around. But if you want to, ignore the comments, saying that this is going to say, Reddit with traffic and engagement from you if you go. It clearly isn’t, and your loud protest is valuable. 

Be real for a sec…

100k is way too low of a number.

Edit: FODMAP is not a ‘diet’ in the traditional sense, it’s a diet tailored to avoid triggering flare ups of medical conditions such as IBS. Wish the article had been more clear for those without knowledge of what FODMAP is.
