Where did you get those stats? 50 people is way too low, even with the sneaky qualifier of "outside its borders".

And what was the alternative to stack overflow before AI?

People were desperate for an alternative, and ran with the first semi-viable one that emerged.

AI is arguably worse than SO for precision. It will hallucinate, and agree with you when you're wrong. But stack overflow is so unwelcoming to newcomers that people switched anyway.

Containers don't even really help that much because they share the host file system. Need a VM, and even then, agents have escaped them!

We have Luke Ming Flanagan in Ireland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_%27Ming%27_Flanagan

AFAIK named after the character "Ming The Merciless"

Started off as a student campaigning against his landlord, and for cannabis legalisation. Now he's in European parliament!

Very disappointing.

1. This is a strawman. Mention a startup but not what it does. Wave your hands at growth as much as you want, but it doesn't prove you didn't hurt anyone to make your billion. I think people would find it quite easy to pick apart the actual named companies like AirBnB, Facebook, Apple, Google. Lots of people got hurt by these companies in the name of growth and profit.

2. The distinction between having and earning a billion is irrelevant. You make a billion? Cool, now stop. Give someone else a slice of the supposedly infinite pie. We. Are. Starving.

Very interesting! A tutorial to check if kimwolf is running on your network would be nice

My understanding is it can't. The proof is "this photo was taken with this real camera and is unmodified". There's no way to know if the photo subject is another image generated by AI, or a painting made by a human etc.

Doesn't this have an obvious edge case for every singer from now on though? If your voice is cloned before you become a singer of renown you have no protection.

I use yadm too but I found the differences between versions a bit tricky. The upgrade scripts didn't quite work, although I did try to jump from v1 to v3

What a poor bunch of overworked human beings, with almost no control over the product they work on. Frantically following the whims of managers, reduced to labour units in this late stage capitalist hellscape.

What about when the LLM inevitably hallucinates a plausible but incorrect answer?

Does this issue only occur if you have billing info on file?

I'm using the free tier and have no billing info set. According to this https://github.com/netlify/ask-netlify/issues/6#issuecomment... > if you have an event that puts you over the free-tier limits, Netlify will ask you to update your billing information and add a CC

Although worryingly > We just had this happen and our site didn't stop working.

Is there any way to ensure if you hit the limit sites just stop working and you don't get billed?
