Let's not forget the time Anthropic and OpenAI stole some mathematician's research because they were vibe researching the problem and Altman and Amodei thought it would be nice to claim the prize as their own

Don't forget the main point that Anthropic reported the user to the police but didn't share any of his messages or conversation history with the cops. Because their security policy doesn't allow it.

How come most mainstream distros have support for said codec but Blackmagic cannot/won't add support for it on Linux?

Why can Openshot, Kdenlive, any other Linux-native video editor edit MP4 files but DaVinci cannot, unless you pay for it?

Genuine question.

They'd rather add agentic AI support instead of adding proper codec support on the free Linux version (which is already supported on Windows).

How is this different than Codeberg?

I'm a bit skeptic of the game because it's pushing higher prices in the industry while being totally unjustified.

But I'm not surprised at all? Like, all of these things the game does were/are entirely possible within the FiveM scripting API. Take a look at GTA RP servers like NoPixel, they've been pushing the limits so hard on a 13 year old game.

And the same API exists for Red Dead 2, which has a visual upgrade over the engine used for GTA V.

I don't know, I guess I'm expecting something to be wrong since it's very frequent and common nowadays for AAA games to ship broken and incomplete.

I hope I'm wrong, though.

Even then, being allowed to ship and package in Germany may as well be valid for other EU countries? I mean, you register in a single country (ideally where your business is) and then the other countries can just accept your packaging bureaucracy?

I'm thinking of doing the same. I got a Samsung Watch FE a couple of years ago and the only reason I used it was for the heart rate monitor and sleep tracking. But it's a hassle having to recharge it every day, so I'm willing to move to a OG Casio again.

It's not virtue signalling but it shows that if the author of said software (if there's one) didn't bother to spend time writing things on the website, there's a correlation that they wouldn't bother spending time writing code either.

And that's what I see first thing on the repo. Lots of LLM-style writing in the README, which makes me think if this is a vibecoded app, which looks like it.

Was there any AI used in either the website or the code itself? It looks like a product of AI and not man-made.

Long story short, Brazil's First Lady suggested at a security meeting that Discord should be banned because of some obscure servers that promote self-harm and other type of violence, targeted at minors.

The Attorney General took her suggestion and plans to take Discord to court and block it, despite Discord having moderation systems in place and the First Lady and other politicians not knowing this was done in a private server which is almost impossible to moderate.

On the other hand, mainstream social media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are used daily by organized crime to post pictures and videos of murders, assassinations and other crimes they commit, and no one's asking these platforms to be banned or the very least that something be done to remove the offending content from there.

This. Project would look a lot more cooler if it was done by a human. It was vibecoded to hell and I can't find a note on the README that says it was vibecoded and/or assisted with LLM.
