@OldHeadHST @EndWokeness Culture is upstream of every single other fixable, society-level problem. Is it really surprising that a society and culture which hates itself has other issues downstream? This has to be fixed first, believe it or not.

@EndWokeness I know this was a very important issue to white people. I'm glad this worked out for you. Never mind all the other stuff going on, this was definitely the most important. Peace and blessings

@Mudkipstoat23 @kevinonymous @sama "monetization ruins everything" is very clearly false, even if it's a popular sentiment. Alternatives like barter economies are very inefficient. Our lives would be medieval still without money.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@datsonperiod @kevinonymous @sama I do know how AI works. Not every work is copyrighted - most aren't. People are upset that AI companies train their models on Facebook and reddit conversations and open journal publications, which are all open and public.

@kevinonymous @sama I keep seeing this point being made, but what data did they not have permission to harvest? The code that was publicly online? I don't care for OpenAI but I'll be damned if I thought my public info on the internet wasn't going to be read or seen by others... It is public...

@kiaran_ritchie I thought this too for a while, but if you look at the history of software, it's not "whoever has the best algorithm wins". That helps, but it's not critical. The actual moats are: established customers, and customer trust. OpenAI and Anthropic are way ahead on those.

Kiaran Ritchie@kiaran_ritchie·
I don't see how Anthropic, OpenAI or any of the model providers have any hope of defending their moats. And consequently, I think they're going to get wiped out. Right now, in early 2026 they have a meaningful advantage in terms of model capability. But far cheaper and open source models are not far behind. How long can they maintain a meaningful advantage? For the vast majority of use cases, we don't actually need much higher intelligence. It doesn't take 140 IQ to automate Turbotax or powerpoint. Eventually we will be saturated in cheap, local models that are "good enough". Of course some scientific labs and frontier research will always want the latest and greatest. But that market is orders of magnitude smaller than these company valuations can justify. What am I missing?

@tessajoliver @Nicole_Lee_Sch AI tools in medicine are like a screwdriver in a toolbox. MRIs are like wrenches and X-rays are like hammers. Ideally, my doctor would use all the tools at their disposal, instead of throwing one out.

@Nicole_Lee_Sch Physician here who refuses to use LLMs. I don’t even use OpenEvidence. I do my own research and have the ability to think through my own assessments and plans thoughtfully without the help of AI. I didn’t go to med school to have a computer tell me what’s going on or what to do.

@barkmeta Complaining about "corporate greed" has to be one of the dumbest possible complaints about this clip. Either buy the thing or don't buy the thing. It's very easy.

Bark@barkmeta·
Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

@opimpopular @yacineMTB @LuisDCSilva @bytebrujo Yeah almost nothing about what you said is true. You think hardware engineers stop working after a design is finished? Hahaha... Go work as a hardware engineer at Nvidia and tell me if it's harder or easier than SW.

@yacineMTB @LuisDCSilva @bytebrujo So there's a clear difference in the earning potential. Besides that, at the hardware land, once they finish the design and have something that works, the engineers aren't as needed. Meanwhile in the software land, the product usually evolves over time

@HannahDCox "I'm so tired of people having zero ability to read data" -> proceeds to come up with a claim that has nothing to do with the data in question. You have any evidence (aka data) for your claim?

I’m so tired of people having zero ability to read data. If you actually think the conservatism of 25 years ago is the “conservatism” of today you’re cracked in the head. Young men’s label has stayed the same, their beliefs have gone off the deep end and women’s movement en masse is merely away from these new ideas.
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet

That's a really interesting chart. Young men have stayed similarly conservative for over 25 years, while young women have become much more left. Why such a divergence? What has changed for young women that hasn't changed for young men?

@AskYatharth @johnmark_taylor @FarZenith x.com/i/status/20310… "Completely at odds" is now just "leaky abstraction"? Come on now, you're reneging on what you said. If you're going to exaggerate, don't then be surprised when people take what you said literally.

the mental model of git that GitHub gives is completely at odds with how git works GitHub makes people think in terms of branches and diffs. whereas all that exists in git is commits

@Logocentrik @johnmark_taylor @FarZenith what was said: "X is a leaky abstraction" what angry people heard: "abstraction X is fake stinky and useless" x.com/AskYatharth/st…
yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth

this has real consequences for beginners—they enjoy thinking in branches and diffs, because it's intuitive, but when they get into a bad state, they can't get out. their mental model has an impedance mismatch with git's logical data model

@johnmark_taylor @FarZenith @AskYatharth The analogy is a good one. There is utility in thinking based on branches, even if that's not how the underlying data is stored. The whole point of an abstraction is that you don't want to always worry about the details - it may be inefficient to do so.

@FarZenith @AskYatharth I mean, the original post is making a concrete point about the nature of the data being stored. This has measurable performance/operational consequences. This is distinct from issues of emergent properties like you allude to here

Insane laws passed by people who apparently have no concept of how computers function. This would effectively make all open source operating systems illegal, and mandate state control of the rest.
The Lunduke Journal@LundukeJournal

Here’s where each of the “All Operating Systems must do age verification” laws are as of today. - Brazil (Law 15.211) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on March 17th, 2026. - California (AB-1043) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on January 1st, 2027. - Colorado (SB26-51) : Passed Senate on March 3, 2026. - New York (S8102A) : In Senate Committee. Note: As of today, March 4th, Operating Systems developers have only 13 days remaining before the Brazilian law takes effect. Related: In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

Nico Perrino@NicoPerrino·
As federal and state lawmakers weigh legislation ostensibly meant to protect kids online, here are a few things to consider: 1) Generally, the only category of speech that is unprotected for minors but not for adults is content deemed obscene as to minors (namely, pornography). The Supreme Court has been reluctant to expand this exception and refused to do so for violent video games in 2011. Restricting kids’ access to social media means restricting their access to constitutionally protected speech. 2) Age verification for minors is age verification for everyone. Adults will have to prove they aren’t minors to access vast swaths of the internet. 3) Americans have benefited tremendously from keeping the internet free. A “papers, please” approach to internet access undermines that freedom, burdens protected speech, and erodes anonymity. 4) Once we concede that the government has the authority to dictate who may access the internet and how, we begin creating a permission structure for even greater government intrusion. That’s the kind of power authoritarians have historically sought. 5) Parents have tools at their disposal to regulate their kids’ internet usage. Failure to use them isn’t a problem for the government to solve with mandates, but with education. I’m a parent. I know how hard it can be. But parenting is my responsibility, not the government’s. 6) Security breaches happen. They’ve even happened to age verification providers. 7) We should not give up the free internet so easily. Once we do, it’s unlikely we’ll ever get it back. Does freedom carry risks? Yes. But they’re nothing compared to the risks of giving up our privacy and speech rights.

You will eventually need a license to own a computer. This is where all this "Age Verification for OS" stuff is coming from. It's not about protecting kids. If it were, the CA law would not demand that you share this age data with any dev that asks for it. It's about controlling access to compute and what you do with it.
