There's no possible comparison between Musk and Mamdani's gestures, at least from the perspective of someone who grew up in a region occupied by the Nazis during the war and had him grand parents deported.
Regarding EU politician support, it's really not what you describe. The politicians he's been supporting are the ones in the rightmost spectrum of the political chessboard in each case I've witnessed. There isn't a car I've witnessed where he supported someone center right, or left.
The announcement contains way too much marketing stuff for my own taste.
Just tell us what you've done, we don't really care about how you're trying to surf the AI bubble
I wanted to try it recently and went to their doc website. Ar first glance it looked surprisingly detailed for such a young project but why not.
I didn't wanted to run a random, possibility vibe coded tool on my computer right away so I decided to run it in a container. That's an option, great !
Tu run it with docker they recommended an install script.
Out of habit I downloaded the script and started skimming through it to figure roughly what it would do to my machine.
The stuff was a mess. Most of it seemed overcomplicated code to do simple thing. Then I ran into inline python code in the shell script. That's not super elegant but there are some valid use cases, why not. Then there was inline JS code... WTF? Then we're back in inline python.
Seriously, that's just a script to run a docker compose file ! We're not yet at setting up providers or anything.
I was not to run that script on my computer, and was happy I decided to go the container way.
I got back to the website to see if they have manual instructions... They did, maybe there's hope after all ? Those instructions ended up being incomplete or broken, even for someone who does devops-y stuff on a daily basis.
I decided to drop the experiment there and it left me with the impression of a pile of code thrown together by an army of monkeys.
I hear what you're saying and it's very insightful. But I'm under the impression the libertarians have moved a lot closer to fascism I'm the recent years so it's hard to keep them in any tent.
The "society has become more polarized" is an euphemism to describe an important rise of fascism across the world and in the US (that I'm not a citizen of). Yes it's polarized, because there's a side that's trying to create a political police and camps to deport everyone they disagree with as "illegal immigrants".
Circling back to EFF, I have seen many important legal issue related to digital freedom that I thought was important where they were involved. I think they're serving their mission. This decision makes sense, it's just a little bit late
I've been scrolling for a while and this is the first contact that makes sense to me.
Ok, zuck has gone dark, yes tiktok governance and objectives are unclear. None of those companies are clean.
But Musk is actively *evil* and using this company specifically to serve his dark narrative and agenda.
Thank EFF for quitting, was about time
That's just a drop compared to the ocean compared to this one time when he performed multiple nazi salute in front of an entire country, or when he single handedly decided to intervene in a foreign war via Star link control or when he messed with entire branches of the American government
That sounds like a very smart move at the time where Europe realize the US isn't such a gray partner and it's trying to reduce it's critical dependencies on foreign nations tech and infra. Good job.
I'm actually very surprised to see this from the germans who have this reputation of great engineering culture
I don't think it is. There are many many cases where you do want to own them.
The people you rent yours from are making a shit load of money so it doesn't sound that bad of an idea
Why does every tool on the face of earth try to add AI features ? Good tools are simple and orthogonal. If you want AI, there's already plenty of other tools doing it probably better.
I'm overall fairly disappointed by this announcement. This IMHO doesn't bode well
