I’m still hoping for a fork sometime in the future, but I guess we’ll see. For now I’m back on fennec. I wish the developer all the best of course, I just wish there had been a bit more warning :/

Out of curiosity, forgetting that the US is also pursuing something similar, what motive would Google have to comply with a Japanese ruling? Could Japan just… Ban Google if they don’t comply?

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

This is a very good point. It makes me a bit uneasy, even though it is still better than driverless cars. Aside from this, I also have mixed feelings about the fact that every pound being put into development and purchasing of these busses could have been put into the expansion of existing routes…
And it’s not even something that would drastically improve my experience if it was fully successful. Busses are already one of the safest modes, being safer than trains in several countries. Maybe I’ve missed something and someone can correct me, but this feels like throwing money at technology for technology’s sake.

I mean… a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/

I didn’t even know interactive wallpapers were a thing, that sounds so cool! I’m the kind of boring person who keeps almost every default unless it bothers me, even the wallpaper 😅

Nice! It seems like the cables are justified. I also ended up on default 12.04 with unity after a half year or so because kde at the time had too many quirky for me. I’ve honestly been wanting to give it another go since plasma 5 came out, but haven’t gotten around to it.

Kubuntu! Kubuntu 12.04 was my first distro, so it always makes me happy to see :D Also, you seem to have a lot of cables on your desk, and I can’t figure out what they’d all be for :P

I just woke up from this alarm… I feel called out
