indeed

To be fair, is there any other way to be a NATO fan though…

yup

🥱

The thing to keep in mind here is that the UK is just playing musical chairs on the titanic. The major parties just want to keep doing business as usual, and the living standards continue collapsing as a result. Since they’re incapable of making any substantive changes that would improve the situation, there’s instead theatre of PMs getting shuffled in and out.

I see no issue with locally run models like Z-Image Turbo. They take very little resources to run, so there’s no real issue with energy use here. They produce good results when prompted properly.

The whole theft of artist work applies to commercial models where companies are profiting of other people’s work. However, I simply don’t see the argument when it comes to open models that anybody can use freely, and especially in cases where you’re not producing images for profit.

Calling a literal quote from Schmidt sensationalist is quite the hot take. Also, if you think technology is separate from politics then grow the fuck up.

He’s unquestionably a hero.

Definitely a unique approach to coffee making. I was thinking how you do generally want coffee to either be cold or hot, room temperature is the one temperature that just doesn’t work.

the joy of open source

I mean once China starts pumping stuff in volume, then it has translated into cheap consumer goods historically. I don’t see why this would be different.

it’s really nice to have a decent and user friendly open source app

yup

lol no, I’m simply dismissing you

It’s kind of a general problem we in the west now, everything is purely driven by ideology at this point and we’re becoming more and more disconnected from the material reality of the world each and every day. I really do think there’s going to be a massive crash, and Israel might act as the catalyst for it.

For sure, bibi is just a symptom here. The whole society is fundamentally fascist. I think the real problem they have though is that the US has run into material limits of what it can do. And Israel can’t really fight this war on their own, so if the US is tapped out then they’re in very deep trouble.

Oh, I don’t mean he’s going to get jailed over any of this stuff. It’s more that there are factions and infighting internally.

yeah, seems like getting a daily summary would make more sense

Bibi is going to jail if the war stops, so he can’t stop the war. But I agree it goes beyond him, the whole society is fascist and it this point not even rational anymore.
