“I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer.”

A thing that worries me a bit is with AI in rise so much, many people and companies talk about it like "their AI". Like it's their property and they own the code but it's not..

There are only a few companies on the planet who are "in control" of the code and data, those are the ones who "own AI", not the consumer

There is no "your AI", there is only "their AI" that you work with, don't forget that!

Japan's Rapidus project, which brings together some of the world's biggest companies, is the "last opportunity" to put the country's once-dominant semiconductor sector back on the global map, its chairman warned. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/17/companies/rapidus-could-revive-japan-semiconductors/

@gerrymcgovern I deleted 79,125 'promotional' emails from my Gmail account yesterday.

Didn't think I really needed them.
Didn't think they were useful.

Why do I get so many of these completely useless messages?
Why is so much time and energy expended on these hopeless things that most people completely ignore?
And why should we keep storing them, year after year?

What a terrible waste.

Dear tech blogs. Please stop.
These are massive trillion+ dollar megacorporations.
There’s no “war”, no need to choose sides. No flame wars to be had to take more of our money.
These are appliances to get stuff done or enjoy for fun.
Period.

@garymarcus spot-on…

Calling techie friends! What is the best app for google forms that will allow you to add events to google calendar?
I’ve played a bit with the form populating a sheet and using Zapier to pop it into the calendar and it works, but uses the current time rather than the time the user enters on the form… haven’t had time yet to figure out why.
Thought I’d ask here for inspiration!

Interesting to see Microsoft referring to data centers as “AI infrastructure,” further abstracting what they are and the resource demands that come with them.

I'm in the process of migrating from Google Workspace to Proton Mail, but I've hit a snag that might make me stick to Google. I have several email addresses for business, and yet Proton puts all emails in one inbox, which doesn't make any sense. So I'll get emails related to my writing in the same inbox as those for film, as personal emails, and as those for other work? I expected separate logins for each email.

Anyone knows how I can work around it?

Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.

New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We have the collective power to stop tech that doesn’t serve us.

as i have said before, if you are in you mostly likely were in work environment that looked down on other workers & rejected as unnecessary because, well you don't need them because you make the most money as a worker.

but guess what: you're still a worker. you're still from the working class.

we need y'all high-earners organizing and demanding your benefits.

THIS IS POLITICAL PRAXIS. students in campuses are in tents, you're at the unemployment office 🧵

Does anybody have a connection at Netlify?

Long story short, they won’t work with you if you’re , and they’re holding my domain hostage. They refuse to speak to anyone except [deadname] via an email that no longer exists.

After explaining my transition to the support rep, and offfering to give them an updated ID, they’ve just stopped responding to my emails. I need to get ahold of a human who isn’t an asshole.

I am so fucking tired of the trans tax.
