Capital is trying to corral all the tech into “the cloud” so they can control it all and rent it out forever.

They do not want anyone to know anything about hardware.

This most recent hubris with AI is because they think it can be used to create new tech and instruct installers so they no longer need ANY human capacity with knowledge.

Of course that was not and never will be true but isn’t it interesting how the billionaire class will pounce on any opportunity to cement their power without reliance on society hmmm it’s almost like they’re the fucking bad guys

Why he look like Warren Jeffs tho

Hey, I know the guy who did the musical score! He’s an awesome dude and did a great job on this (from what I’ve been able to hear so far). Have a good feeling about this one.

WINE is a compatibility layer (famously, WINE Is Not an Emulator) for Windows APIs on posix OSes; most notably this allows you to run Windows applications on Linux.

Microsoft would truly love to beat WINE to death with a legal sledgehammer but so far they do not have the legal ground, as WINE is developed based on public knowledge and Microsoft famously keeps their source code closed.

If you saw the Windows source code, and then you contributed to WINE, it is possible Microsoft could make the legal argument that WINE was using stolen trade secrets, even if the verbatim source code was added to the WINE codebase.

Whether or not that would have worked for Microsoft is up in the air; but the WINE project didn’t want to find out the hard way.

No, it’s exactly the conversation, if you’d recall.

Yeah again this leaves out the “job I already have” vs “mythical better job that simply doesn’t exist right now” part

Whoa, really?

Yeah it’s gone. Wow. now THAT’s ye power trippin bastards material.

I don’t really hang out on/with .ml very much (mostly just my own browsing habits) but my understanding is that they’re not a monolith.

Again, not surprised to find Trots and (actual, not libscolding) tankies there - but just like MAGA don’t speak for all of America, and Al Queda doesn’t speak for all Muslims, they don’t represent “the left” as a whole.

You are being downvoted by others but this is actually a fair point; although I would assume that in a practical environment the professor is aware of assistive devices students may be using and would take that into consideration rather than just automatically failing them.

Regarding the copy pasting into a word processor: why would this necessary or allowed in an exam scenario?

They should hold the special election and pick someone anyway, against the rules. He would have loved that.

Yes, rather we trust the capitalists who want to literally remove technology from our control and force us to use their cloud and their AI models that are built on good old American ingenuity and honesty, trust me bro you’re better off looking for weaknesses in our models by spending on tokens to see what happens .

Not everything China does is a psyop.

The instructor included hidden text that the students could not read but that an LLM, which does not read at a visual, but at a data level, would find.

Are you implying that some students found that hidden text, and followed the directions thinking it was a challenge?
