Pat_Murph··on 23andMe confirms hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9M users
"Corporations have never imprisoned anyone for their politics"

Really?

Let me introduce you to Steven Donziger.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jul/26/lawyer-stev...

Ho and what about all those corporations that used Jewish slaves during world war 2?

Or just today, Coca Cola killing people protesting them taking their land away or Amazon imposing atrocious work conditions to their employees?

Before blindly defending corporations I'd try and take a look at reality...

It's not as simple as "government bad and corporations good"

Pat_Murph··on In 1903, NY Times predicted airplanes would take 10M years to develop
40 billion is an insignifiant amount for a rich country like thr US and the scientific knowledge that was gained from it and is still going on today is immesurable.

Personnaly I think it was way worth it and we should keep going to further science and knowledge.

Totally worth it imo.

Pat_Murph··on What happens when your AI girlfriend dies?
"Just get healthy!', go wild, but that's obviously not my argument."

Ho really? Ypu know that we can read your comments right?

Your original comment:

"Go out, get a hobby, and meet real people. Jesus christ."

"Get healthy" is exactly what you sayed.

Pat_Murph··on What happens when your AI girlfriend dies?
Yeah, I have text discussion with friends that go back more than a decade.

I could probably use those textes to teach an AI and give it that friends personnality in a way...

Black mirror stuff indeed

Pat_Murph··on X May Lose Up to $75M in Revenue as More Advertisers Pull Out
With all the people he banned you still believe he actually cares about free speech?

Musk promise not to anyone not even the account the posted 5h4 location of his plane then he went and banned the account. And then went on a banning soirée of journaliste who are critical of him.

Musk is only for speech that isnt critical of him. If it is then he doenst hesitate censor them.

If you actually believe thst he's working to protect free speech. You are extremely ignorant of the facts and reality.

Lol Musk has values.

Good one.

You are joking right?

Pat_Murph··on Training for one trillion parameter model backed by Intel and US govt has begun
There are initiatives to have international criminal courts to recognise that corporations are responsable for participating in genocides.

They are not part of the international coûts mandaté at the moment so they are used to shield people behind them.

Here's a paper exploring this possibility

Here's a list of corporations who profited from the holocaust in various ways.

Pat_Murph··on McKinsey and its consulting industry peers face headwinds
How does more accountability for Mckinsey frauds equal more Enrons?
Pat_Murph··on The AI industry turns against its favorite philosophy
Effective altruisme is a smoke screen term to make legislators and the public believe that tech companies have humanities best imterest at heart. It's just to prevent legislators from imposing legislative controls on the industry by making them believe that they have things under control... When they obviously dont.

Self regulation of industries has never worked and never will.

Pat_Murph··on My Free Speech Means You Have to Shut Up
" In my view, too many critics of “cancel culture” are recklessly promoting not the speech of the powerless, but the censorious resentment of the powerful."

Yep, to often when i see these anti woke, cultur war, anti cancel culture critics.

What they are actually doing is attacking people's free speech and defending the authoritarians that are actually trying to limit speech and other rights.

They convinced themselves that free speech should protect them from criticism. When criticism is free speech.

Pat_Murph··on 0 To 100 kph in 1 second [video]
There is a very interesting video and I think it's from the official investigation. It seems to show that the steering broke before the corner and Senna tried to turn but he just kept going streight.

Pat_Murph··on First planned small nuclear reactor plant in the US has been canceled
We've gotten better at billing than building.
Pat_Murph··on 0 To 100 kph in 1 second [video]
The official cause of Senna's crash was due to a failure of the steering column that was modified before the race. Not du to loss downforce.
Pat_Murph··on Ferrari Sued a Used Car Dealer for $2.2M over a Replica. It Didn't Go Well
In Q2 of 2023. Just the commercial and brand revenue were 147 million up 18% from previous year.

Seems like the Ferrari merch is actually flying off the shelves.

Their finanacials are easily accessible for everyone to see.

If you had looked them up before commenting. You wouldn't have been wrong on every single thing you sayed.

Pat_Murph··on Royal College considers no confidence move after Excel recruitment debacle
Often I can do what I need in a few minutes in excel where à programmer would take hours and not give me what I actually asked for. And in excel I can modify and update my work. Where a programme solution is static and needs tons more hours for every change needed.

Often we see people claiming that "This new thing is the spreadsheet killer, like ai at the moment. People have been saying this forever but spreadsheets are still here. And there's a good reason for it.

Pat_Murph··on Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
Nice try Brave.
Pat_Murph··on ChatGPT’s system prompts
If they tell people what the limitations are they won't be able to overhype their "AI" and make it seem way better than it actually is.

"If you can't convince, confuse"

Pat_Murph··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
The founder of thr party was an anti semite, his daughter to.

The policies they proposed were far right and some would day extreme right.

But hey. Let's just ignore that and asusme it's just stupid lefties who are exagerating again.

Pat_Murph··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
So basicly what you're saying is... He right wing so he must be good cause imaginary left wing call people nazi so left wing bad.

All you did was spew stramen arguments and dismiss the notion of him being right-wing without even knowing anything about puis politics?

Seriously?

You're funny

Pat_Murph··on Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted
Blatent case of Microsoft derangement syndrome.

Hard to take your comments seriously with such obvious disdain against the company and ridiculous victim blaming.

Pat_Murph··on Changes to Unity Plans and Pricing
So they rolled back the most abusive aspects of the new fees but are still going forward with some fees...

Seems like they win on the end.

Looks to me like the good old strategy of we'll start with a very high proposal then come back with a more watered down version thst people will accept as being more reasonnable than the initial terms. But they still get to charge more and seem reasonnable doing so.

Pat_Murph··on Profile of Sabine Hossenfelder
She's taken a weird and disturbing turn lately. She did a few videos about transgender and other lgbtq related topics. And well she had some seriously disappointing and eronious views on the subject. And was mostly regurgitatimg anti trans, terf talking points.

It's sad and disappointing thatnshe has started using her credibility in one field to make propogandaish videos on other subject she either ignores or is lying to profit off the terf grift.

It takes away from her well earned credibility in her field of expertise.

Pat_Murph··on Black Atlanta venture capital firm sued for racial discrimination
Wow I think your hatred is very clear here.

You haven't even addressed what the commenter actually sayed. Or you chose not to adress it or probably didn't understand.

Read it again you mite get it this time.

Pat_Murph··on Black Atlanta venture capital firm sued for racial discrimination
This isn't a woke endeavour. It's a racist endeavour. It's the exacr opposite of woke.

This group can't stand black people working for other black people and they have to attack them and shut it down.

Don't be confused by your anti woke bias. This isn't it.
