What your coffee says about the average #Linux user ...

Another day, another company used a popular YouTuber's voice without taking permission. Of course, shitty AI is part of it. They stole voice to build their shity products. Why is YouTube not stopping these thieves? Google is too busy to block Adblockers, but they do nothing to stop AI companies.

OpenAI's Mira Murati: "some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place" And you stole everything from creative people who provided free texts, images, forum answers, etc. To date, your company has refused to acknowledge any credit. Rich people truly live in their bubble and have zero sympathy for fellow human or their livelihood.

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.

Now, everyone is so furious about OpenAI stealing a beloved celebrity's voice. But what about the many artists, writers/authors, and creators whose copyrighted works OpenAI stole to create works resembling and replacing those people's products? Not famous enough to generate the same outrage, right? At least now, everyone knows how bad Sam Altman is. He thinks he is above the law. I'm glad someone is standing up to this bully and I hope something good come out of it.

Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI situation. Wow. Sama took down sky’s voice because of legal notice. This guy is really pushing boundaries 🤣 Source: NPR tech correspondent- This statement was provided exclusively to NPR by Johansson's publicist, Marcel Pariseau. https://x.com/bobbyallyn/status/1792679435701014908?s=46

Everyone should immediately stop contributing to the stack overflow and its network. The human touch is what made it unique. Delete your profile from SO AND all your answers. Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions.

Oh my

Despite strong warnings from the EU, they are very aggressive and defend their practices of nagging users. I hope FTC will look into this kind of bad behavior. https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112239671499175551

Damn. Edge woke up today and chose violence 😂

A #Linux user and a #FreeBSD user walk into a bar. The Linux user loudly proclaims, "My distro is the best!" The FreeBSD user smiles quietly, sips their drink, and thinks, “They just don't know what they're missing.”

Someone from the back yells it is GNU/Linux.

OpenAI is currently sued by
1 Authors Guild et (copyrighted text/images)
2 NYT (OpenAI caught red-handed using NYT articles)
3 Elon Musk
4 Doe 3 (unknown folks suing OpenAI and Microsoft/GitHub Copilot. Their names kept hidden because of death threats given by OpenAI or MS employees in lawsuits. WTF?)
5 Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI for stealing her books or jokes
6 Many other lawsuits are filed against OpenAI

How long will it take for Microsoft's CEO or shareholders to stop funding OpenAI?

If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

😂 Elon Musk just crawled from under a rock and discovered something that has been bothering people for years. It is just too funny not to share this one.

why is IE still a thing? 🤔

If you ever feel like your life has no purpose, just remember that there's someone at Microsoft whose job is to make sure Microsoft Edge works on #Linux.
