Then it's on to centralization of the "human" components of the workforce into company towns, robot armies and competition for natural resources that will be processed from raw.

Tell that to the generation of autistics roaming America that were never properly diagnosed in their youth. High intelligence, often even high paying jobs, but all the other 'success' metrics will probably end up looking very wavy.

Great, now you have to ban sharing of it, or banning sale is worthless.

Or rather, only worthwhile as a straw-man you can point to and say "Look, we stopped it!" when you know that's false.

We should probably ban all of those Amazon models that can also be jailbroken.

It's entirely possible, and even standard, to allow the browser to tell your site which language to respond in.

While ignorance of internationalization standards is a possibility, and the most likely cause.. I do wonder if it's a bit of a nudge to promote Chinese influence in the AI space.

Not that they really need to do that, China is already doing great (relatively, depending on criteria). The implosion of the US, the resulting brain drain and world shake-up has been very timely for their AI and other industries.

It's a very smart move for them to think longer term and start freezing out NVIDIA. Then they can take Taiwan purely for ideological concerns and not worry at all about the fabs blowing up in the process.

And they won't be dependent on foreign factories sitting on an island just off the shore of a superpower who's shown nothing below absolute resolve for decades towards the idea of conquering that island....

Not to promote something, but Wispr Flow does that for me automatically if I trigger a setting for it..

While it's a commercial product with a subscription, I spent a long time on the free tier not even hitting their limits until I started using it so extensively that I wanted to pay for it.

And I've used Whisper in the past, mostly for tinkering. I tried it for a couple of use cases but haven't touched the base project in a while. But I do regularly use Faster-Whisper-XXL, an open source project based on Whisper, for subtitle generation.

Though, for subtitle generation, I decided to support the project and mainly use the non-public build of Faster-Whisper-XXL Pro built for donators to the open source project.

The extra features smooth out the subtitle editing process very substantially. Toss in "--roformer_overlap 0.125 --roformer_vram 16 --best_of 15 --ff_vocal_extract mb-roformer --vad_method pyannote_v3" to the cli parameters (and sometimes --realign) and you have much less work to do in SubtitleEdit or Tero Subtitler afterwards to clean it up.

Input:

Ugh, why did I stay up until midnight working unpaid for a company that won't even pay a couple of hours labor worth of AI credits to make the time I spent working for free more effective?

Output:

I’m so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to go the extra mile!

Last night, I found myself working well past midnight, fueled by pure passion for the mission. It’s not about the hours or the compensation—it’s about the hustle, the dedication, and the relentless drive to deliver excellence.

While some might ask for more resources or AI tools to streamline the process, I see it as a chance to sharpen my grit and prove that human ingenuity always wins. Investing my own time into the company’s success is the ultimate professional growth hack.

Success isn't given, it's earned through sacrifice. Who else is crushing their goals tonight? Let’s get after it! #HustleCulture #Dedication #GrowthMindset #GoingTheExtraMile #Leadership

And then back to English:

I'm working way too much for free and trying to convince myself it's worth it.

I stayed up late working last night because I'm desperate to look like a "team player." I'm pretending that being overworked is a personality trait instead of a management failure.

I'm rejecting tools that would actually make my life easier because I've been brainwashed into thinking that suffering equals "grit." I'm basically giving the company free labor and calling it a "growth hack."

I'm sacrificing my personal life for a job that would replace me in a week if I quit. Please validate my burnout so I feel less alone in this toxic cycle. #Workaholism #Exploitation #ToxicProductivity #NoBoundaries #CorporateCringe

Ugh. I wondered what that was. I had to reformat due to inaccessible boot device as well, I thought the SSD had gone bad.

But I left it after the install, annoyed into abandoning the laptop to the shelf at the no-network first-login workaround to avoid a Microsoft account. I hate all the fresh laptop setup that's required afterwards to make Windows tolerable.

Soo, it can definitively tell you that 42 is correct Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. It just can't tell you if you're asking the right question.

Yeah, that seems utterly made up.

I live in an urbanish area, and if i don't set Priority Delivery then there's probably a 2 in 3 chance I'm stuck in a queue with "waiting on other delivery to complete".

About the only way to get my food while it's still warm enough to eat (because few of these drivers use heat bags) is to set priority delivery. And when I do, I can track it straight from store to my place. No 'waiting on other delivery' messages, not even blips of disconnectedness while the driver fulfills orders from other apps. Just straight to me.

This fee, I find, works better than tipping. Which is sad because in my imagination, I suspect the platform is keeping the fee rather than the driver. Incentives are completely messed up for gig deliveries.

They don't even take down the spam you report. I doubt they'll do anything until their user base declines.

I dunno, I've noticed quite a bit of hesitancy. Like they want to figure out "which kind" of American you are before they will even nudge the topic of US politics.

Payday for someone's pet project in the "We need to invest in every alternative IDE" bubble?
