Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter
161·1 month agoRemember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.
Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.

ReactJs is styled to look like AngularJS
The crab is the Go gopher styled to look like the Rust crab.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•MrBeast defends trapping man in burning building for chance to win $500,000
11·2 months agoThis has ‘Late Late Breakfast Show’ vibes. Those around in the 80’s in the UK will probably remember the Noel Edmond’s variety show, a precursor to Noel’s House Party. They had members of the public do stunts. There were regular concerns about safety and eventually someone died.

Technology@lemmy.world•Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. In other words, they are losing money on every user.
391·4 months agoThis is the thing I don’t understand about businesses like Cursor. They take two other companies products (Claude and VS Code) and smash them together and sell the result at a loss. How is that much of a business when basically what you’ve got is something that could have been a VsCode plugin.
Beep Beep Motherfucker.

It’s a cut and paste of all the other letters. I’ve seen more effort put into bulk job applications.

Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir accuses British doctors of choosing ‘ideology over patient interest’
22·5 months agoMy local NHS doctor adopted a new platform recently. It took a surprisingly large amount of effort to confirm Palantir weren’t involved before I agreed to login to it. I would have flat out refused to use it if Palantir were involved.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you opt out of the facial scan at the airport?
10·5 months agoYeah it’s weird. I always opt out and it seems to make no difference whatsoever.

29·6 months agoThese guys should try the existing Waymo service in Austin to get an idea of what an actually good ‘robotaxi’ is before tying this junk.

Europe@feddit.org•Wikipedia legally challenges 'flawed' online safety rules in UK
14·7 months agoWhen I think of the Online Safety Act I think of Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister. There’s a line where he says “The Official Secrets act isn’t to protect secrets, it’s to protect officials”.
The Online Safety Act exists to protect the safety of the government, not its people.

Videos purchased in Prime Video don’t require a Prime subscription. The subscription only covers the ‘free’ stuff.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Genuine question - why did 250 people buy this?
13·8 months agoQuite possibly related to the Steam gift card scam https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/09A1-E754-1D86-DDC9
Often all the shops round here are sold out of steam gift cards for this reason. It’s sad, I spoke to a store worker about it, they explain to people they are getting scammed but they want the cards anyway.

Technology@lemmy.world•Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again
6·10 months agoYeah pulling nearly 600w through a connector designed for 600w maximum just seems like a terrible idea. Where’s the margin for error?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else get so tired and depressed from saying you're good when people ask how you are?
16·10 months agoI’m far from good and lying about it constantly is killing me
I suggest you consider talking to your doctor or a mental health professional. If you feel a long way from ‘good’ some professional assistance might help improve your way.



To enable Saudi Arabia to host 2034 the 2030 World Cup was bizarrely spread across Europe (Spain and Portugal), Africa (Morocco) and 3 matches in South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay).
When hosts for a World Cup are selected the confederations for the previous 2 world cups are excluded, thus North America (from 2026), South America, Europe and Africa were all excluded from even applying. Conveniently leaving the door much wider open from Saudi Arabia than it normally would have been.
