cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa urge UK Prime Minister to rethink his AI copyright plans. A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission. English0·3 days agoYour comment just sounds like a high schooler upset that people like other types of music.

A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission. English0·3 days agoPretty funny that Dua Lipa is so opposed to this when her entire catalogue sounds like blatant ripoffs of other people’s music.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administrationEnglish0·6 days agoRemarkable how that happens, isn’t it? The company was fine while they received a paycheque but the very next day they are despicable.

cygnus@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Lutnick casts doubt on trade deal with "socialist regime" of Canada, ahead of Carney-Trump meeting.0·7 days agoNothing says socialism like a lifetime spent in banking and asset management.
And his nominations to the banks of Canada and England were by the radical socialists Stephen Harper and David Cameron, respectively.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Lutnick casts doubt on trade deal with "socialist regime" of Canada, ahead of Carney-Trump meeting.0·7 days agoI’m increasingly convinced that the US will never escape this pit of anti-intellectualism they’ve dug.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Now that US food isn't being tested for safety, why are we still allowing it to be sold?0·8 days agoYeah, it’s good practice to avoid US food in general, especially meat, which is truly horrid. Produce can be hit-and-miss. Dry goods aren’t so bad, but I still prefer to buy from any other country.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Meta's Reality Labs Has Now Lost Over $60 Billion Since 2020 - SlashdotEnglish0·11 days agoI don’t understand how that’s even possible when they have so little to show for it. I like to imagine it’s full of maliciously-compliant people trying to bleed Meta dry from the inside.

cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With SlopEnglish0·4 months agoGood question. I imagine it’s too niche to make much difference right now, but I can see this eventually being a reprise of the display ad industry shooting itself in the foot by doing nothing about click fraud.
cygnus@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Ex-Bioshock lead Ken Levine says the problem with AAA games is how risk-averse they've become: 'If you don't innovate, especially in games, you start losing people'English0·4 months agoThe marvel reference is on point, because it’s the exact same thing that’s happened to movies.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•AI-generated phishing emails are getting very good at targeting executivesEnglish0·4 months agoThat sounds like the same kind of guy who will make a never-ending stink because he insists on BYOD despite IT’s objections.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Denmark: Union website deindexed by Google in the firm’s latest search experimentEnglish0·5 months agoSearx is the only one I know of. Most others repackage one of the big tech companies’ results.
Edit: Brave uses its own search index, but isn’t open source. Also Brendan Eich is a tremendous asshole.

I bought a 7800XT this fall and am very happy with it, FWIW
cygnus@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Health Canada says daily cannabis use hasn't changed much since legalization0·5 months agoAnecdotally, I find that hard to believe. I also have to wonder how honestly people are responding to a survey about behaviour that was once illegal.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada to open consulates, appoint Arctic ambassador under new foreign policy0·5 months agoYes but Canada signed on as a partner at the development stage and then (very expensively) pulled out only to come crawling back years later to buy back in at a far higher price. Absolutely idiotic, but I’d expect no less.
cygnus@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Looks like valve is working on a new steam machine.English0·5 months agowhat do you gain by running Linux over Windows?
Not using Windows.
But more seriously, you’d be astonished at the progress over the last ~3 years. I don’t play that many games but have yet to run into one that doesn’t work.
“Discovery”? Never heard of it.
