The interfaces are relatively modern too, with VGA and a PS/2 keyboard.
And the voices. “Billy…”
“You fucked the whole thing up.”
“Billy, your time is up.”
“Your time… is up.”

Also, export your DBs first, and snapshot the export instead of the raw DB files
A lot of the best communities to be in have a barrier to entry
The community of pilots, the people who work in medicine or on floor X, the people who are proud of what they can accomplish and recognize automatically that the value of the interactions they have are not worthless.
Idk how you bring that to the online space. But it is missing, yes. I like this essay.
I agree with you on the free time but I don’t think cops with bedbugs are likely to do any less policing, or be any nicer to the people they encounter
You need to read again the thing that was described, more carefully. Imagine for example that by “a page,” the person means a page called /juicy-content or something.
I know this because i wrote a page that IP bans anything that visits it, and l also put it as a not allowed spot in the robots.txt file.
This is fuckin GENIUS
Many of their talented engineers have moved on to other companies, some new startups and some already-established ones.
When did this happen? I know some of the leadership departed but I hadn’t heard of it from the rank and file.
I’m not saying necessarily that you’re wrong; definitely it seems like something has changed between the days of GPT-3 and GPT-4 up until the present day. I just hadn’t heard of it.
There are a lot of folks in tech who really just want to build neat things and it feels oppressive to be in a company that’s likely to lock away the things they build if they turn out to be too neat.
I’m not sure this is true for AI. Some of the people who are most worried about AI safety are the AI engineers. I have some impression that OpenAI’s safety focus was why so many people liked working for them, back when they were doing groundbreaking work.
If they closed down, and the people still aligned with safety had to take up the mantle, that would be fine.
If they got desperate for money and started looking for people they could sell their soul to (more than they have already) in exchange for keeping the doors open, that could potentially be pretty fuckin bad.
They don’t care if the cat videos are on a banana sub.
I don’t know why but I can’t stop laughing at this
I came here specifically to say this. I didn’t even watch the video before posting this, just assumed he was being Brian Kilmeade, but now that I’ve listened to it, he clearly said “college.”
Your Lemmy posts are already being scraped for AI
The level of effort it would take to prevent would be infeasible to ask of even a non volunteer admin let alone a volunteer let alone literally all of them
The cycle continues:
Idk it’s not as pithy as Cory Doctorow’s version I guess
Anyway we’re at step 5 at this point
I kinda doubt there’s gonna be any level of shitstorm
This is, however, hilarious.
Oh, it might be that. That actually makes more sense.
I just know that I always heard it as so you wouldn’t electrocute yourself, and that the first time I opened up a monitor for something and actually found one, I was beyond delighted
I, too, miss the days when you could write literally anything in XF86Config and that’s the signal it would send to your monitor. There was a warning in the docs that you could easily fry your monitor by sending a signal that it couldn’t handle that would cause physical damage so please be careful.
Also, the good monitors came with an all-plastic screwdriver attached on the inside of the case, so that you would have one available that you couldn’t electrocute yourself with on the big capacitor since at that point you’d already revealed that you planned to open the thing up and start fuckin with it.
It was wonderful days
Honestly? If you’re still on Twitter at this point, that’s on you.
I think 8 hours starts to get into territory where they might get an informational message about the delay? That also starts to be long enough that the emails might get lost in the distant past in the client and never be seen, by the time they arrive.
I think when I used to do this, it was one advisory message every 24 hours that a message was holding in the queue, and after 5 days it would bounce, but I have to assume that those limits have shrunk in the modern day. How much, IDK; it might be worth experimenting with it though before committing to creating that situation since it might not go okay.
SMTP is designed with queues and retries
Unless something has changed massively since I was deeply involved with this stuff, the people that sent you email may get a notification after some hours that their message is being delayed, and maybe after like 24-48 hours they might get a bounce. But if it’s just your SMTP server going down for an hour or two every now and then, the system should be able handle that seamlessly (barring some hiccups like messages showing up with timestamps hours in the past which sometimes is confusing).
It seems unlikely that it’s all that mysterious
OpenAI/Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google
There you go I solved the mystery
