Hey can I have that job instead? I’m happy to use any version of Windows if it means I actually get paid fairly

Each chip runs ONE model, hardwired into the transistors.

That’s… that’s an ASIC. That’s literally just an ASIC… with all the tradeoffs and compromises that come with it.

Ethics and rights aside, this isn’t even possible to comply with. The law applies to additive and subtractive manufacturing hardware, and expects it to automatically detect and refuse any attempts to manufacture a firearm. But that depends on an underlying assumption that a machine can answer the question “will this command (set) result in the construction of a gun?” And that assumption is false.

Even if you somehow designed an algorithm that could read a G-code program and determine whether it produces something shaped like a gun, it still wouldn’t be enough - because the CNC machine is just one step of a manufacturing process. The human operator controls what materials and commands go into the machine, so they also have full control over all inputs that the “oversight” program is allowed to see.

Some simple ways to bypass this (hypothetical and perfect implementation):

• Print the gun in two pieces, then combine them manually.
• Print something that contains a gun, then cut out all the non-gun material.
• Use multiple separate machines for different parts of the gun.
• Design something that looks nothing like any existing gun, but is still capable of firing a bullet.
• Print most of a gun, the build the rest by hand.
• Build part of a gun, then print the rest onto the hand-made parts.
• Print part of a gun, then run a separate program to print the rest onto the previous result.
• A thousand variants of the above.

So even if this was something we wanted to enforce, it’s just not possible. For the same reason why Minecraft abandoned their plans for an SMP “penis detector”, this law could never be complied with because it’s impossible to build a machine that actually meets the requirements.

I cannot emphasize enough how much you are actually going to be ordering a pizza. Please do not be surprised when you receive a pizza and a corresponding charge to your credit card.

“unlock the ability to purchase” 😕

Validating output should be much easier than generating it yourself. P≠NP.

This is very much not true in some domains, like software development. Code is much harder to read than it is to write, so verifying the output of a coding AI usually takes more time (or at least more cognitive effort) than if you’d just written the code yourself.

wait you’re serious? this isn’t satire???

Isn’t that a classic corporate raid technique? Sell the company’s assets to you or an organization you control, then lease them back to the original owners.

Aren’t ideas like, the easiest part of making a game??

same, I was ready for this to be some transphobic thing and was pleasantly surprised!

Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/

In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit’s culture. I’m unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕

my employer has decided to license an “AI RDBMS” that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It’s obviously snake oil, but they’re all in on it 🙄

Another vote for the steam controller - it’s versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I’ve wanted to play.
