Oh lol, isn’t this what Hindenburg Research and others are doing, except on the real market? Shorting some company’s stock and then publishing news stories about how bad things are gonna happen to them is a very fun grift…

Guess what I’m saying is, wonder if an FTC with fangs wouldn’t treat prediction markets as an as-yet unregulated securities exchange…

Oh boy, if licensing education is too expensive to run, do I know a bad purchase for Microsoft to have made

Despite worrying my brains out about getting deported from my home of 14 years because I wasn’t born in this godforsaken place, I’m extremely excited that Elon will get fired in the next 6 months or less. Gives me life to think about him getting very publicly humiliated by an even greater piece of shit than he is.

Hate to break this, but https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/elon-musk-x-corp-alex-jones-infowars-rcna180487

Seems he is now fully sold on the idea that this is his world, we’re just living in it.

Microsoft found a fitting way to punish AI for collaborating with SEO spammers in generating slop: make it use the GitHub code review tools. https://github.blog/changelog/2024-10-29-refine-and-validate-code-review-suggestions-with-copilot-workspace-public-preview/

Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, “but evil”. When in reality he’s a Duergar at best:

Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.

Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

The age of book shovelware has arrived: https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/2024/10/ai-audiobook-narrators-in-overdrive-and-the-issue-of-library-ai-circulation-policy/

Edit: TIL about the US copyright office website’s ai generation info on works. That’s a thing we will be making a bunch of use of, I imagine.

My pal dug these up:

https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110/issues/15 and

https://github.com/william-sto/JusticeNeverTooLate

They have issues providing commentary and caveats, and are in Chinese, ofc. And also take all of this with several boatloads of salt.

Apparently there are two GitHub repos up with strongly conflicting information on what happened, this is gonna be a three-buckets-of-popcorn incident.

They added sleeps to training jobs? Sounds like they deserve a raise for improving energy efficiency instead…
