I spent too muchtime trying to figure out why they would do casting (like in casting actors for their shows) from a phone.

what is it? a sponge?

MDM and support costs.

oh, no! anyway...

Is the housing market in Sweden less crazy than other places?

It took me almost 10 years to save for my home and I had to move out of my city (Barcelona) to a small town since there was no way I could afford anything decent, even with a good Senior Software Engineer salary.

I f you believe AI companies should NOT be allowed to train AI with copyrighted works you should stop using Internet search engines. Because the same rules that allow Google to train their search with everyone’s copyrighted websites are what allow the AI companies to train their models.

sorry but no. most search bots have been for years quite reasonable in following instructions from the sites on what to scrap and what not. AI scrappers have shown they are willing to go to great lenghts to scrap content against the wishes of the website owners.

Additionally this scrapping has shown to put a tremendous amount of problems into some sites and platforms, open source projects, for example.

Last, search engines are a win-win. They get to show ads and then redirect traffic to the source. LLMs for the most part steal that traffic, by regurgitating the same content they stole in the first place.

This analogy is absolutely bonkers. the VCR is not made out of copyrighted material. If the VCR does not spit bunch of copyrighted material on demand because the makers put it there. AI Image generation models cannot be created without copyrighted material. That is not even a controversial take.

I think resolution is just a tiny part of why newer TVs are so much better than a 10yo TV. there is better contrast, HDR, more brightness, angle of vision, etc.

1080p content will look better in a good 4k TV and not just because the resolution.

It’s impressive how they have changed the expectations around their pro it as time goes by:

-Our AI could become sentient and destroy humanity to become sole ruler of the world

-Our AI will discover the cure for cancer and so many other illnesses

-Our AIl will soon have PHd level intelligence

…

-You can sext with our AI

I feel with this episode the series is finally picking up the pace. the previous episodes felt a bit slow to me

and unfortunately, heavy subsidies on cattle farming make the meat and dairy substitutes more expensive than what they try to substitute.

While their arguments are absolutely ridiculous, I don't think they are 'demanding'. The EU specifically asked for feedback on the DMA and they provided theirs https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/consultation-first-review-digital-markets-act_en
