Knowing the exact oil level is very important for new cars. The piston rings are now made of softer metal to get a few more mpgs. If you overfill oil, you will get blow by, damage the rings, and start burning oil. Toyota now has an involved process of changing oil, running the engine, then topping off the oil while the engine is hot so as to not overfill. But not even my dealer follows that official procedure Toyota put in their manual.
You have a comically large magnet.
If you are close enough to a hard drive for a magnet to affect it, you are close enough to hit it with a crowbar.
It was pre AI craze. Probably million dollar marketing consultants.
AI could have saved them millions making the same stupid decisions.
That’s a lot of SD cards! I was expecting something like rfid that I’ve seen with other mp3 players.
I’ve had to block so many German Lemmy’s. It’s frustrating because I can tell it’s a good article and I believe European news more than US news now.
Bluesky didn’t start with millions. Europeans chose it when there were none. Like Facebook getting its start because Savarin used his college frat connections across the country to get the ball rolling, I’m sure there were paid influencers who got things moving for Bluesky.

GPL is a license that uses copyright law as enforcement.
I thought you meant actual copying like when Linus tech tips used some Gamer’s Nexus script word for word.
Stealing script and content is a copyright violation. It could be a lawsuit but is usually ignored because of legal costs.
If gta5 was the only game sold, it wouldn’t be an energy issue!
When an AI trains on data it isn’t copying the data, the model doesn’t “contain” the training data in any meaningful sense.
I’d say it can be a problem because there have been examples of getting AIs to spit out entire copyrighted passages. Furthermore, some works can have additional restrictions on their use. I couldn’t for example train an AI on Linux source code, have it spit out the exact source code, then slap my own proprietary commercial license on it to bypass GPL.
I addressed that in my second paragraph.
In another thread someone brought it up so I did some quick math to see if it was true:
Gta5 cost $300 million. 4000 developers each with the latest GPU burning hundreds of watts per employee to create the assets. A rough estimate of 750watt pc, 4,000 developers, 8 hour a day, 300 days a year, 5 years = 36 giga watt-hours. That’s the energy to power 3.6 million homes for a year and I’m not even including the HVAC costs of the office space. For 1 game.
AI training energy use is small in comparison. ChatGPT 4 cost $80m to train.
However if I used AI more, I would still play the same amount of video games, thus increasing the total energy use.
Then that’s like writing about the evils of cars while driving a giant SUV for fun.
Do you agree with me on my other main point on reliability?
The Google AI forced on me in searches has seemed correct because every sentence has a footnote with a link to source that I usually click. The OpenAI code generation I used a year ago was brilliant. It wrote working VBScript for me which was a language I had no desire to learn. The microcontroller code for another project was also fantastic because it gave me an outline to start working with.
I thought Apple started the stopping support of Intel Mac’s a couple of years ago? If you had the newest Intel from 5 years ago, support is supposed to end this year.
make profiting AI companies pay for UBI
As I said, many companies steal content and repackage it for sale. Google did it long before AI. AI is only the most recent offender. Courts have been splitting hairs for decades over music similarities and that’s ignoring that entire genres are based on copying the work of influential artists.
There’s a huge difference between an outright Nazi like Musk and an average techbro.
