And this is the best case scenario. It’s either this or they literally think they’re meaningless collateral in the West’s noble mission to save the world.

9·4 days agoThat argument could hold for freely open source models (and even then there needs to be laws prohibiting copyrighting anything AI generated) but absolutely not closed, for-profit models. Making a profit off someone else’s work without their knowledge or permission goes beyond copying and well into theft.

IDK how common this is, but there are stories of companies that make you work on real production code in the interview. Basically suckering you into free work before they give the position to the boss’s cousin or something.

Should be banned in every country with decent public education. Unless you have a formal education background you have no business formally educating anyone. Everyone has stories of things their parents taught them that turned out to be total bullshit and they only found out because they went to actual school.

World News@lemmy.ml•US aircraft leave Spain after government says bases cannot be used for Iran attacksEnglish
11·12 days agoFunny enough the US (and Canada) don’t seem to consider Mediterraneans fully “white.” You get people with Spanish/Italian/Greek heritage getting offended when they’re called white.
Neither did Hitler. Mussolini tried kissing his ass but he was never prepared to consider Italians equal to Aryans.
Also the Iranian guy they killed was paler than the average American, and in general Iranians have very fair skin but are not considered “white” by white supremacists.
It just shows how whiteness is an ever narrowing category and you, yes you, current white person, WILL eventually by excluded by it if the people who believe in whiteness (i.e. the Nazis) succeed.

World News@lemmy.ml•Iran's revolutionary guards tell ships passage through Strait of Hormuz 'not allowed'English
5·13 days agoFeb 28 (Reuters) - An official from the European Union’s naval mission Aspides said on Saturday that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards saying “no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz”.
The strait is the world’s most vital oil export route, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran had not formally confirmed any such order. Tehran has for years threatened to block the narrow waterway in retaliation for any attack on the Islamic Republic.

If so, I’m extremely impressed at the sheer amount of Journalism they’re doing here. A whole three lines of journalism? We’re not worthy!
