Labour ditches radical reforms as it prepares ‘bombproof’ election manifesto

It’s pretty wild to me that such a modest investment is deemed risky with the electorate.

That said, it’s clear the sun, the mail, the express, the telegraph will be looking for the tiniest arguable removed in Labour’s armour. So to my mind, this is more telling of embarrassingly low horizon of national ambitions coupled with a very aggressively right wind media. So, I can also understand the need to appear very very fiscally restrained.

[Broken clocks are still right twice a day] Elon Musk Sues OpenAI, Sam Altman for Making Money Over Benefitting Humanity

Reply in thread

Yep. Use the the gpt4 architecture and fine tuning infrastructure as a starting point of your own close efforts: helping his companies leapfrog to the front of the line.

Edit: that said, while I’ve no doubt that musk does not have the betterment of humanity in mind (except where he’s making a profit from such betterment), openAI being open would be a good thing.

Canonical starts charging for Ubuntu LTS security updates

Horrendous how canonical engineers with bills to pay might want to monetise their labour!

More seriously, open source should not be confused with free labour. Do you think Linus works on the kernel for free? He does not, nor should he. We are all lucky to benefit from 5 years free updates from Ubuntu. You need longer, because your use case is so mission critical? then pay for the engineer’s time.

Edit: grammar
