those who used ChatGPT for "personal" reasons — like discussing emotions and memories — were less emotionally dependent upon it than those who used it for "non-personal" reasons, like brainstorming or asking for advice.
That’s not what I would expect. But I guess that’s cuz you’re not actively thinking about your emotional state, so you’re just passively letting it manipulate you.
Kinda like how ads have a stronger impact if you don’t pay conscious attention to them.
Arm could’ve just coasted off of unnecessary license fees for decades, but they’re over-extending and making themselves an unattractive business partner.
Bad timing with the EU ramp-up too — a RISC-V future has never looked more likely.
Let’s Encrypt handles over half of the certificates on the web.

Defunding them places the entire internet in a precarious position.
Xhrome and Stardroid, but yeah.

It’s scraping, and it’s hard to make that part illegal without collateral damage.
But that doesn’t mean we should do nothing about these AI fuckers.
In the words of Cory Doctorow:
Web-scraping is good, actually.
Scraping against the wishes of the scraped is good, actually.
Scraping when the scrapee suffers as a result of your scraping is good, actually.
Scraping to train machine-learning models is good, actually.
Scraping to violate the public’s privacy is bad, actually.
Scraping to alienate creative workers’ labor is bad, actually.
We absolutely can have the benefits of scraping without letting AI companies destroy our jobs and our privacy. We just have to stop letting them define the debate.
Idk if it’s the biggest problem, but it’s probably top three.
Other problems could include:
Me using Firefox until Orion comes out:
True… but you can sure enable one by not voting.
Guys, not cool! You don’t do this part publicly. You have each company petition privately.
If Trump likes them, they get an exemption and get to raise prices anyway while going “Hoo boy, those tariffs, huh? Real shame. But what can you do?”
