They haven’t said yet. But my guesses would be the following reasons:
Chat GPT et al; “To improve your critical thinking skills you should rely completely on AI.”
Huffman: “Is it our shitty policies towards users, AI developers, and moderators that caused our growth to show down? No it must be Google! Even though they are ranking us higher than we deserve in their search results!”
First off all, what an idiot. Second, you made the deal with them, ya fucking idiot!
Third, I’ve noticed when I go to reduce from a search engine result, the UI is horrible (because I’m not logged in). Like, significantly worse than it used to be several years ago when I’ve wasn’t logged in.
Time to flood their AI with a ton of skibidi toilet and ‘what the sigma’ memes, so it confuses everyone for eight year olds.
Lots of orange and red interest spots in California. But that can’t be right. All the right-wing CA-haters keep saying “eVeRyOnE iS LeAviNg CaLiFoRniA!!1!”
It’s almost like they are… talking out of their asses? Surely not!
Hate to say it, but AI-driven voice impersonation is not coming - it’s already here. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn impressive, and is at a useable state already.
Good article. Just shared it with some less tech-savvy friends.
Good article.
We need a version of the UK government’s National Risk Register, covering everything from the collapse of financial markets to “an attack on government” (but, unsurprisingly, that risk is described in terms of external threats). The register mostly predicts long-term consequences, with recovery taking months. That may end up being the case here.
I assume they mean on a state government level? I doubt this will happen, unless it’s already started. Plus, as they point out, such plans typically focus on external threats to the government. A huge internal threat like this is a long-standing blind spot. Hopefully in the future that prospect becomes a more prominent concern.
We need to dust off those “in the event of an emergency” disaster response procedures dealing with the failure of federal government—at individual organizations that may soon hit cash-flow problems and huge budget deficits without federal funding, at statehouses that will need to keep social programs running, and in groups doing the hard work of archiving and preserving data and knowledge.
This is a great point. DRPs (Disaster Recovery Plans) have been a pretty big focus on organizations I’ve worked at. However, the focus here is almost always on natural disasters that can cripple an organization’s IT and daily operations. So I don’t know how much those will help in this situation either.
We’re talking about short term credit lines potentially being crippled and regulatory organizations essentially shutting down. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
Not true. I know several people in the UK who have Roku streaming devices.
I used them for a long time. But switched elsewhere due to their enshitification through ads and their TPS bullshit.
The country is being burned to the ground from the inside by fascists, and this is the hill Democrat politicians choose to die on?!! Holy shit! What a fucking joke!
Aaaand here come the admins to relentlessly bully any mods involved in this into submission. Because the reddit admins are pathetic, greedy little pig boys who don’t give a flying shit about their users or moderators.
Yes, it objectively is. And so are various other text editor options that are out there.
But just speaking about Notepad++, you can scale it down to a very simple text editor (like Notepad), it you can easily ramp it up to a much more feature rich one. And for me, the ability to have a vertical list of files is a big plus. As is its ability to optionally show line numbers.
