Consumers find a way to save money and are bad. Companies find a way and they act like heroes.

I'm sure that reddit realizes it but I'll share for all of you that don't. If CGPT fills reddit with it's own comments then future AI projects won't be able to use Reddit data to train on. An AI that trains on itself or other AI data will suffer what's known as model collapse. Basically if you don't have enough variability in the training data you create an unuseable model, that will happen as CGPT fills the internet more and more with it's content. Sadly if we don't solve this problem then we likely won't get past current gen AI in terms of capabilities and scale.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but it's hard to imagine this being better quality than what we can do digitally these days.

Its always weird to me when I realize not everyone online is ~30 years old.

This. People do not realize what goes into running a media server. On the fly transcoding is so resource intense. Especially when you consider you could be doing it for many different streams at a time. Then you look at storage for it all and you need a massive amount of drives to store it all. Then there's just the bandwidth necessary to run multiple stream constantly. The reason there aren't any decent competitors to YouTube is almost entirely because of the resources needed.

The first time I grabbed a 1080 265 and it was almost half the file size of a 264 I had and the quality was visually the same, I knew I could never go back.

I do not trust Whatsapp to provide the security of a signal conversation. Who wants signal and WhatsApp to talk to each other ?

"Can reveal the face of God using VBA"

This one got me good. I became a VBA king being in one of those locked down environments.

Thanks for the clarification.

Unless it's limited by hardware this will be a main cause for jailbreaking your iPhone.

I would say there are levels to pirates. Not everyone here wants or needs to be a pirate 100% of the time. Sure, everyone could download all their music but why bother if you have a streaming service that you consider cheap and you prefer streaming over storage. Like anything, they're levels to it.

I highly doubt spez did this. Reddit is currently doing fine. Even if it all goes away he's sitting on over a decade of genuine human conversations he can sell to AI companies and make millions. He isn't worried.

You son of a bitch I'm in.

Now that is a useful website.

Finally. I've been more active over on .ml because of this. Glad you guys are reasonable and reversed the decision.

Security is definitely a legitimate argument for some companies. The average home network is nowhere near as secure as an enterprise network and BYOD is not nearly as secure as the systems setup and managed by your organization.

Edit: Everyone saying "use a VPN that's how you secure your home" needs to do more research. I have a comment below explaining how just using a VPN doesn't make you safe.

It was likely just a lie. Hacker groups often make claims they cannot backup, just for clout. If they had delivered on their promise we would have heard about it by now.

They are doing away with that soon. Going to usernames.

In my experience with beehaw users, they are not well behaved.

He is ? Awesome! If we could get a full mobile thunderbird app that would be epic.
