The silliest person I know was deadly serious and no-nonsense at work. Their silly side only came out among friends. Maybe you just need to befriend a goose?
Reminds me of this:
What, you don’t let your infants play near downed power lines? Kids these days are so sheltered.
I’m not worried about CCTV footage in the US, at least as far as government surveillance is concerned. The main reason is the difficulty in wiretapping, compared to the payoff. For the government to get access to CCTV cameras owned by private citizens, they’d have to backdoor every single manufacturer, then figure out how to stream footage without being detected. This is definitely possible, but it’s considerably more difficult than wiretapping phone conversations. I’m sure the NSA/CIA/etc has done this before on a targeted basis, but doing it in general is very risky and a ton of work(if they want to keep it a secret), and what do they get in return? The NSA has a lot of resources, but it’s still limited.
Fun fact: back in the 90s, some motherboards would start playing “Fur Elise” or “It’s a Small, Small World” through the internal speaker if the CPU fan was failing. So if you started hearing that, that meant your computer was about to fry itself.
Mario 2 was released in 1988, 3 years before this comic. Larson is a gamer confirmed
Wait till she learns about zombie children
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying the rich and powerful have a vested interest in not taking risks that jeopardize their power and wealth, because they have more to lose.
The reason these models are being heavily censored is because big companies are hyper-sensitive to the reputational harm that comes from uncensored (or less-censored) models. This isn’t unique to AI; this same dynamic has played out countless times before. One example is content moderation on social media sites: big players like Facebook tend to be more heavy-handed about moderating than small players like Lemmy. The fact small players don’t need to worry so much about reputational harm is a significant competitive advantage, since it means they have more freedom to take risks, so this situation is probably temporary.
I looked it up. It’s from sonata 8 (“Pathétique”)
Damn straight. Beethoven’s late sonatas are fucking amazing.
What’s he playing in the fourth panel? Waldstein sonata?
Yeah, at this point, the boss in the comic would be massive improvement over most tech CEOs. Corporate doublespeak is more infuriating than just being a fuckup
I asked my goose friend what he thinks about this and he just honked. Though I suspect he didn’t hear me, since he seemed to be busy balancing on his unicycle (his feet can’t reach the pedals, so he has to flap his wings to balance)
