I’ve gotta say ultimately I’m not convinced Herb put more thought into it beyond its purpose justifying human labour in his universe despite the massively advanced technology. There’s a similar shortcut in the Warhammer…
The implication in the book is that the exploitation enabled by AI in their history was somehow even worse.
There are ethical and environmental concerns arising simply from use and contribution to the industry which many people take seriously
AUR is an effectively unmoderated user repo. It’s not Arch Linux’s core repository, nor is it enabled by default or indeed even possible to use without manual downloads from outside the package manager.
Unfortunately the third world will suffer the most from climate change. They do indeed already suffer (I’m from Africa originally myself) but emissions have to be reversed, not simply cut to zero, globally to avoid that…
It’s anxiety about tipping points more than conspiracy theories. If you look at the figures in the various scenarios without even factoring them in: hundreds of millions to billions face food and water insecurity. You…
I’m not a booster by any stretch but I had a more positive read. To me it seems to describe a post scarcity society where ultimately the data centres are in e.g. the middle of the ocean and the robots’ labour replaces…
All of those commits except the initial integration are from after the acquisition. How do we know this wasn’t done without anyone on the call’s knowledge?
He’s an active, donating supporter of the far right in at least America and the UK. He speaks at political rallies?? Are you joking?
My experience as a student has always been that most of the class will cheat given the chance. I remember in high school being one of maybe a dozen in a grade of over 200 who actually read the assigned novels. Everyone…
Sure, reasonably well at first glance, but to quote the article: > I rewrote Bun in Rust using about 50 dynamic workflows in Claude Code run continuously over the course of 11 days. > Excluding comments, Bun is 535,496…
People say a lot of things, especially when they have a vested interest in a positive outcome. Bun has been fully vibe coded into another language. There’s no way in hell it’s maintainable. Go read any analysis of the…
It’s illegal which is why when a government does it they either classify it or farm it out to an ally. Have you read any of what Snowden leaked?
People have been convinced by energy company propaganda that solar still needs a trick or selling point other than protecting the environment. There’s widespread disinformation about cost and environmental impacts from…
A lot of that is natively well supported on Linux now, especially for slightly older MSI laptops. I’d recommend trying out Fedora Kinoite if you’re used to Windows.
Posturing and pedantry like this doesn’t change the fact that the nature of exploitation is more important than its mere existence. I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve with these comments but if it’s to convince…
Yes if we follow the logic that exploiting an organism is universally unethical it leads to a ridiculous conclusion. Maybe it would be more precise to call it a slippery slope but I’m not sure there’s another name for…
This argument is called reductio ad absurdum. It’s often used by people like you who want to prevent others from trying to be better.
> Do you know how their human rights violations compare to, say, western nations? You have to be joking
My home country has a population that’s too big for the economy, so most people live in squatter camps and build homes out of scrap wood and sheet metal. The government provides public toilets (often portable because of…
Free software isn’t a product
What is it about the US you enjoy so? As someone who migrated to Europe from another country (and has never had the privilege of visiting the states) I can certainly think of ways I’d imagine America is better, and vice…
It would be toxic in that environment but I’ve never personally been lucky enough to work at an outfit like that, so I find it difficult to believe the reactive version isn’t more common than the spontaneous you describe
This reads like an avocado toast critique. Businesses which respect their staff, particularly junior staff, are few and far in between. Why should anyone not “silently quit” when the attitude of their employer is to…
The reality is that it’s not possible to learn if one offloads the work itself to an LLM
