AIs do business with AIs they know, like and trust. 😈
RE: @MikeElgan@mastodon.social
This is misleading as all Hell! You have three totally different types of businesses here!
Five - Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle - are hugely profitable companies who have *invested* in AI.
One - NVIDIA - makes high-performance computing hardware and software that is used for a variety of consumer and industrial applications that aren't AI.
Only the other six are truly ***AI*** businesses!
When you look under the hood of AIs, they're just big 'ol constrained nonlinear optimizers. I'm convinced there are better ways to do that than massive dot product engines emulating poorly understood biological processes that evolved over billions of years in exactly one place that we know of.

@noondlyt "Allowing" implies they asked us (or someone) for permission to do it. Corporations usually neither ask for permission nor forgiveness. If they hurt you in the process, *you* have to take the initiative in court to prove your case.

@tante I am literally old enough to have heard Lewis Stauss say nuclear energy would be "too cheap to meter". I wonder what his / his contemporaries' great-grandchildren are thinking about that.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca ""Non-lethal rounds" still have enough momentum to cause serious injury. All "crowd control" tactics are dangerous, and deployment of them against peaceful protestors and journalists is a crime.
I expect to see articles of impeachment filed tomorrow against the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The composer we know today as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wasn’t born with that name.
He was actually born Bob Mozart. One day, when he was in junior high, he came home and told his parents he’d had enough of school and was going to go run with the wolves.
Well, as you can imagine, they were furious! His father screamed, “You’re joining a wolf gang? For the love of God!”
And it stuck.

@mariyadelano Yep ... the whole *point* of AI is that they don't want to pay *you* a living wage to learn programming and write and maintain software, they want a computer in a data center to do it all.

@mayintoronto We used to do that all the time in the glory days of Twitter (2009 - 12 or so). But we're all older now.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I dont think Doug Emhoff did either.

@rl_dane Who *doesn't* do it that way? Kinda reminds me of Randal Schwartz' "useless cat" examples.

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange It's even more amazing how resilient they are when our political system has you-know-who in the pilot seat and his multi-billionaire friends are actively trying to export his cult to our allies. Did Asimov predict this? How far in the future from his time?

@GottaLaff @GottaLaff@mstdn.social You have to do them in this order:
-
Export the old account. This takes some time.
-
Create the new account.
-
Set up the alias.
"Profile moves can only be initiated when your two accounts have been aliased."
- Migrate the account. This also takes some time.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social That is a blatant conflict of interest and the Democrats in the Senate with safe seats ought to be raining subpoenas down on the DOD yesterday!!
