This is very transparently Trump admin retribution, and I'm surprised this fact is being so widely ignored.

You can read the leaked emails from the Musk lawsuit.

At the very least, Ilya Sutskever genuinely believed it, even when they were just making a DOTA bot, and not for hype purposes.

I know he's been out of OpenAI for a while, but if his thinking trickled down into the company's culture, which given his role and how long he was there I would say seems likely, I don't think it's all hype.

Grand delusion, perhaps.

The disparity in coverage on this new deal is fascinating. It feels like the narrative a particular outlet is going with depends entirely on which side leaked to them first.

Signal is the only WhatsApp/Messenger alternative I've managed to get friends and family to actually move to.

I suppose this Sealed Sender issue is problematic for some people, but it's not enough for me to seriously consider jumping ship.

Time-sharing is interesting. The same kind of thing is happening now with AI.

Spent like $2000 NZD on a new XPS 13 to replace my old XPS 13 from ~2017 - a device I loved. The new one was a piece of hot garbage. Overheat and throttled playing League of Legends - a game that has ran adequately on every other piece of hardware I've owned since 2011?

I couldn't understand how a 2022 device would run so much worse than 2017 device and assumed it was faulty. Returned, given a replacement, same issue. It is quite literally not built to hand the heat from the Intel chip doing very minimal stuff. I refuse to use a laptop that sounds like a jet engine when Microsoft is doing basic background stuff.

Returned and ended up buying a used 15 inch T-type Thinkpad with an AMD chip recommended by Reddit for $500 NZD. Runs great, cool, and quiet. It's much bigger and bulkier that the Dell but I don't mind.

Note: Not a Thinkpad fanboy, work has given me an X1 Carbon that I dislike for the same reasons I didn't like the new XPS 13 - it's useable, but it's still much hotter and louder than I would like.

Any reasons given?

Always sad to see projects like this go. This was probably the best alternative to GrapheneOS for non-Pixel devices.

I've been using this for a couple of years on my home-server.

It's an Obsidian knock-off. It's pretty janky and the documentation is lacking. It's open-source which is nice... But the company behind it is ??? I don't know. They are Chinese but I couldn't find much about them.

I use it because I can self-host it, it has most of the features Obsidian has, and I can use it in a web-browser from anywhere - which is the biggest feature for me that Obsidian lacks.

> The fact that some people can’t tell is actually scary.

It really is, and I see more and more of it in Reddit comments, and even at work.

I had some obvious AI writing sent to me by a lawyer on the other side of a dispute recently and I was pissed - I don't mind if you want to use it to help you (I do myself), but at least have the decency to edit so it doesn't read like ChatGPT trash.

100% AI drivel.

You take the video transcript, ask ChatGPT to write a short blogpost about it, and this is what you get.

Also - it's an extension of OS updates but these phones were already getting security updates for the same period.

Example: Previously, Pixel 6 was to receive 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates. Now it will receive 5 years of both.

Close this loophole and another one opens. The ban was and is incredibly shortsighted.

Willful ignorance, at best.
