Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would AI Be Hated As Much If It Wasn't As Resource Intensive?
3·2 days agoWould be even more. The main harm of AI comes from malicious actors being able to ruin the internet forever with practically undetectable bot spam costing cents to run. Also taking jobs in art, where automation was never possible as efficiency is not what art is valued for.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify threatens industry with ad-skipping tool: "Skip Ahead" is available for Premium users in selected markets, and enables them to skip entire ad breaks, intros, sponsorship messages.English
3·3 days agoIt’s not the regular Fast Forward button.
In our tests, a “Skip Ahead” button appears on-screen as soon as an ad-break starts. Just one tap of the “Skip Ahead” button moves a listener to the beginning of the next section, after the ads have finished. It only appears for ads, promos or intros.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?
31·4 days agoSo you cannot inherit a 1.1M house or artwork? No one would be able to own property in New-York?
Also one needs to account for inflation. In 100 years 1000’000 would be equivalent of what is now 20’000.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?
71·4 days agoThe net worth of the world’s billionaires is over $16 trillion in 2025¹. 1% being 160 billion. On average, around every 4000 USD send to the most effective charity saves someone’s life². So around 40 million children.
This doesn’t account, of course, for the difficulty of selling large amounts of stocks without them losing value and the fact that, as low-hanging dangers are depleting, each subsequent child would be more costly to save.

It’s usually “how to succeed in life” intelligence, not “realization of abstract k-skeletons as k-skeletons of intersections of convex polyhedra in R^2k−1 in life” intelligence if that doesn’t make you money.

Technology@lemmy.world•Finally some good news from #Signal 🥳English
91·12 days agoThey already lost users in authoritarian countries like Russia or China, where Signal is blocked and you can’t get an SMS via a VPN, so registration or logging in with 2FA becomes impossible.
Never had an orgasm in my life. Don’t even bother to masturbate anymore.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mark Zuckerberg's Pivot to AI Is Blowing Up in His Face SpectacularlyEnglish
34·12 days agoWhy so? Hoarding money, as well as burning them, is practically equivalent to returning them to the treasury. Spending them wastes labour.
Surface area is 895844 m², Dycron weights 4 ounces per sailsmakers yard, or 0.171 kg per m². 153458 kg, so additional 38365 m³ required, supports should also be relatively light. Quite negligible compared to, for instance, cars weight.
Depends. In some countries swearing on the internet is illegal.
