The only reason Amazon would do this is to harm any advantage that a competitor in the space stand to gain.

Companies fought HARD against public libraries, and I feel like they are trying the exact same tactics against Archive here that they did 100 years ago with libraries.
Comment#2. Because it doesn't
Comment#3. Aren’t we really looking forward n... |
76 | 1dr9g0j | One of the most persistent Windows 11 bugs ever keeps telling users they’ve changed their location, when they haven’t – but it’s getting fixed. | Comment#1. Are they ever going to acknowledge, let alone fix, the fuckup that makes Windows keep badgering my missus to upgrade when the tool they provide to check says her laptop doesn't fucking support the upgrade they keep badgering her about? Microsoft is so shit.
Comment#2. lol you guys allow windows to have acces... |
77 | 1drb3k3 | Detroit paying $300,000 to man wrongly accused of theft, making changes in use of facial technology | Comment#1. They've still got a hundred and one other ways to fuck you over. Detroit and Warren PD is the god damn devil. Now get them to stop erroneously arresting and charging firearm owners legally transporting their guns.
Comment#2. How about not using it at all?
Comment#3. Only 3k? He deserves more. For a tech that... |
78 | 1drb3l8 | Newly discovered asteroid larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza will zoom between Earth and the moon on Saturday | Comment#1. Pretty interesting that they only discovered it 2 weeks ago despite it getting so close, I guess that's because it's small as far as asteroids go.
Comment#2. Sorry the only relative measurement units I know are Libraries of Congress, Olympic-sized swimming pools, and football fields.
Comment#3. Has anybody c... |
79 | 1drbk1s | Google Translate just nearly doubled its number of supported languages. This includes common languages like Cantonese and lesser-known ones like Manx. | Comment#1. Did it also get better? DeepL is much better but can’t translate websites, unfortunately
Comment#2. And yet if you choose language settings in Google Ads for Search or YouTube, Google can’t filter out content in another language because that’s just the browser setting…
Comment#3. Apply more auto-translate ca... |

The engine has been renamed the 1864 to honor the year the rail line was founded, and is compliant with stringent Environmental Protection Agency standards. >The train is one of the few to use the engine, which less... |
81 | 1drdp27 | Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web | Comment#1. This is only true if the AI has to watch two un skippable ads and approve cookies and click that it’s read the terms of service
Comment#2. Microsoft advocating for piracy. Ironic. You need a license key to use my data.
Comment#3. Remember, "AI" is too dangerous for open-source development -- it's best left i... |
82 | 1drdyx5 | AI scientist Ray Kurzweil: ‘We are going to expand intelligence a millionfold by 2045’ | Comment#1. Would be nice if this guy could go back to making cool keyboards for musicians.
Comment#2. Looking forward to it explaining the nutritional benefits of eating rocks.
Comment#3. All of the intelligence with none of the wisdom. We're going to become the Tommyknockers.
Comment#4. Kurzweil is pretty senile at th... |
83 | 1drdzz6 | At least 10% of research may already be co-authored by AI | Comment#1. I bet if we count spell-check and grammar suggestions as coauthors we can get that number even higher.
Comment#2. There was good reason why you wait for metanalyses of multiple studies and data before making changes to healthcare, long before AI and misinformation gurus roamed the internet. Taking random stu... |
84 | 1dre4pg | As AI gains a workplace foothold, states are trying to make sure workers don’t get left behind | Comment#1. AI is going to ruin the customer service industry first.
Comment#2. hahahahahahahaha
Comment#3. Oh don't worry. The people using AI in my workplace are not getting any better. I just get more questions on why their shit didn't work they put into it, or explain why it won't work. Since they are probably looki... |
85 | 1dreuo6 | Low yield for SMIC-Huawei Nvidia knockoff? So what? | Comment#1. While I embrace this article's skepticism, it's hard to argue that reducing SMSC's chip production to 20% of it's estimated maximum output is worth calling "ineffective". The sanctions don't do *enough* to achieve the desired goal, but that doesn't mean they don't get us part way there. Perfect is the enemy ... |
86 | 1drg4hy | 30 years later, FreeDOS is still keeping the dream of the command prompt alive | Project's creator talks to Ars about where FreeDOS has been, where it's going | Comment#1. The command prompt is alive and well without free DOS.
Comment#2. One of the more interesting points from this interview below: >Since hitting 1.0 in September of 2006, the project has averaged about one major numbered update every four to six years. You can't do a ton to DOS without trying to make it into s... |
87 | 1drih1z | Morgan Freeman Slams AI Voice Imitations of Himself, Thanks Fans for Calling Them Out the ‘Scam’ | Comment#1. "*Ever since I was a little boy, people have enjoyed the sound of my voice. And I figured you either get busy talkin or you get busy dyin'.* *The work is really quite easy. Why even right now I'm just sitting in a chair, sipping some tea and reading from a script. The wall is covered in something that resemb... |

89 | 1drjooj | Can ChatGPT edit fiction? 4 professional editors asked AI to do their job – and it ruined their short story | Comment#1. I’m not surprised at all. I train LLMs to write both short fiction and nonfiction all day long. Like, that’s my job. And you know why? Because it absolutely sucks at it. It’s not even remotely good. It might fool a middle school teacher, but for anyone serious about great fiction, it’s a brainstorming aid at... |
90 | 1drmjss | Fisker is recalling every Ocean SUV | Comment#1. From the article: Bankruptcy is not the only issue Fisker is dealing with, as the beleaguered EV maker recalls every Ocean SUV on the road. This time, the problem is with doors that may not open for passengers to get in or out. The basic task of allowing riders in and out of a car is looking insurmountable f... |
91 | 1drml4r | Closing the Stanford Internet Observatory will edge the US towards the end of democracy | John Naughton | Comment#1. This marks literally the first time I've ever heard of the Stanford Internet Observatory. I'm sure they do important work, but maybe they needed a PR team.
Comment#2. We’re not *edging* towards it at this point. We’re quite literally about to lose against an accelerationist movement that spans multiple weste... |
92 | 1drpxn1 | One of the most powerful men in entertainment just called OpenAI's Sam Altman a 'con man' who can't be trusted | Ari Emanuel called for guardrails on artificial intelligence | Comment#1. Ari Emanuel (missing from title) the agent guy known for Entourage lol. I mean I'm not saying Sam is not a con man per se but lets get someone who knows the tech saying it for a news article. This is on the level of Katrina's 'what does Ja Rule have to say about this'.
Comment#2. Has anyone asked what Ja Rul... |
93 | 1drq2pb | Woman in nude photos gets $5,000 under B.C. law banning sharing without consent | Comment#1. > On Feb. 24, 2024, the woman and Sowinski, whom she had just met, and a third person who was a friend of them both, were hanging out at an apartment. Sowinski asked to use her phone to connect it to the TV to play music, according to the decision. > He then accessed her iCloud storage and texted himself sev... |
94 | 1drq9i4 | Apple’s Vision Pro goes on sale outside the US for the first time | Comment#1. I did a tech demo for it at an Apple Store once and I can honestly say I was impressed but I can’t honestly say I can think of any use for it other than to impress people with tech demos.
Comment#2. And the crowd went mild.
Comment#3. it's like $5700 here Did they expand the apps and functionality yet?

95 | 1drrsz6 | TeamViewer confirms Russia broke into its corp IT network | Comment#1. I used to use Teamviewer. I had a unique and strong password that I only memorized. I never installed any untrusted software on my relatively new and updated windows PC. One day, I was sitting at my computer working and got an email where the language had been changed to Russian. I immediately got concerned ... |
96 | 1drrx0r | Lego made bricks out of meteorite dust and they’re on display at select stores | Comment#1. Well…Far Out man…
Comment#2. Pretty spiffy, Ace. Supposedly blocks and panels made out of regolith are supposed to have decent insulation and radiation blocking abilities.
Comment#3. Pretty funny if lunar structures actually get made from LEGO created block based building systems
Comment#4. flies through the... |

98 | 1drwpfe | Scientists achieve key elements for fault-tolerant quantum computation in silicon spin qubits | Comment#1. Everything except “scientists” and “key” is too big for my puny brain. In order to avoid a splitting headache, I don’t think I’ll bother to read the article. Sorry.
Comment#2. Is this internet explorer talking? That publication is 2 years old. |
99 | 1drwq27 | The Center for Investigative Reporting is suing OpenAI and Microsoft. | Comment#1. Courts move to slow, by the time anything is done, they will have raked in billions in profits to be fined just a few million.
