  • I don’t understand, are you bemoaning that the company in question who owns benchy is ending things amicably?

    They changed the license on benchy, which is the thing that they needed to do to end the whole fiasco. I saw plenty of discussion and the internet is really good at inflaming passions. I wouldn’t classify what I saw as panic, but I think concern and confusion was rampant.




  • Sounds like ESET is happy to blame people for not having enough money to buy new computers or enough time and experience to switch to Linux.

    Makes me wonder what necessitates this “security disaster”. Surely, there is no other reasonable course of action that anyone aside from the consumer could take. I’m sure that ESET is only interested in avoiding security issues in writing that it would be the consumer’s fault for not replacing their OS on, say, a two year old appliance to an entirely different, worse version that has different and unnecessary hardware requirements.




  • The question before it was a multiple choice question that included “a Harassment threaten to abandon and/or physical or verbal intimidation”.

    Seems like it lost the context of “choosing multiple choice answers” and interpreted the prompt wrong.

    Edit: To be clear: This is a garbage hyped-up auto-complete that has failed at the task it’s being shoved into “fixing”. It’s all-around bad. Google is a bad company, Gemini is a bad product that can’t tell the time. And also, this particular article is over-hyping a reasonably understandable bad response given the context of the input and the understanding that Gemini is a bad product.

    The product (I don’t want to call it AI because it seems like giving it too much credit) isn’t just deciding to tell people that they should die, the product is incapable of rational thought and the math that governs its responses is inherently unstable and provides unavoidably inconsistent results that can never be trusted as fit for any purpose where reasoning is required.

    I want to be mad at it for the right reasons and be raging against Google and the current crop of technocratic grifters with my eyes wide open and my course set to ram into them instead of blindly raging off in the wrong direction.





  • Nano is the tool that people use when they don’t have a need for TUI editors in general and therefore don’t want to have to memorize how people with teletypes decided things should have been done 75 years ago and who also don’t want to get dragged into endless pointless bickering arguments about which set of greybeards was objectively right about their sets of preferences.

    I’m glad people enjoy the editors they use and also I just wanna change a single fuckin line in a config file every once in a while without needing to consult a reference guide.
