The discussion on the dispute seems pretty strongly tilted in the "keep" direction.

Going to be interesting to see the United States put Wikipedia under export control as a munition.

The warning came as the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, had said Israel “will maintain the security zone in south Lebanon as long as our security needs require it”

Got to wonder if there's some 5D chess going on here. "Hey, Trump, the treaty said you and your allies had to withdraw from Lebanon." "Yeah, well, we're ditching Israel as allies then. So there."

Yeah, as someone who lives in a neighborhood that's currently being threatened with infill redevelopment it's not uplifting news. The neighborhood was not designed with car-free or high-density living in mind, public transit access is poor and shops are not nearby. So if a house gets replaced with an eight-family dwelling without garage space that means eight cars parking on the street. There's simply not enough street available for everyone to do that.

I'm all for low-income housing and less reliance on cars, but it's important to account for the full context of the situation instead of ramming through partial solutions that only make things worse. That way you turn people against stuff. In my city I've seen half-assed initiatives for bike lanes and reducing single-use plastic that ended up intensely unpopular and I suspect harmed those things more in the long run.

This isn't about stopping AI music, it's about controlling it. The big copyright cartels like the RIAA would love to continue controlling it and now people are cheering them on.

What, have a nuanced view? Impossible, must be a troll.

You're absolutely right, electric screen! I shall do as you say.

I think the most likely explanation is incompetence and equipment failure. These things are being driven through the roof by the pressures of the war with Ukraine, though, so it's still indirectly something Ukraine is provoking. Much like all those officials falling out of windows.

I was told we would always be able to tell.

That's a very short-term win, if so, with a long-term cost. Now anyone who's thinking of spending money on an Anthropic subscription (or any other big American company for that matter) needs to consider the possibility that the product they get will be "too good" and therefore will suddenly get yoinked out from under them by the US government.

That long-term impact will be very beneficial for the local and open models because they can't be taken away like that.

Come now, there's just one trillionaire.

Unreliable is still a step up from completely absent.
