On the tracking and phoning home: gross, I wish they didn’t do that. I’ll stick with FreeCAD.
It makes sense though, that they don’t care about pirated software unless you’re making money off it. It’s probably in their interest of hobbyists can learn how to use the software from pirated copies - that’s just a potential future paid user, if they develop the skills to eventually want to use it professionally.
How would Autodesk or Dassault discover that you are using a pirated copy of their software in the first place?
Aw darn, I usually like Vox. I guess I won’t be getting news from them as much anymore
Yeah, that seems reasonable to me
Heck yeah! Love me some pumped hydro
It is for sure a tricky question. Another comment pointed out that we may be coming at the topic from different directions. I’ll admit that the energy demands of AI make me nervous, when I consider how hard the transition to renewables already is without the added load, but I’m not familiar with work in that space to make AI training less energy intense. What options are being worked on?
(Other than SMR or betting on fusion)
Ah, that makes sense! Yeah, I’m out of my depth when it comes to how to train an AI model. I tend to leap into defense mode when intermittency of renewable energy comes up, because it’s very often an anti-renewables talking point, when we actually do have a lot of solutions for it.
We already have a more elegant solution than training AI when solar arrays produce more electricity than the grid needs - batteries. It strikes me as a better option to save the energy for later use than to burn it off to train AI.
Does word soup come before or after word salad? You’re right though lol, I just copied the title directly from the article
Honestly, I think there is something to that. You probably do need to be a sociopath in order to become a CEO like that, but I’d also buy that becoming wealthy, by any means, is probably going to change you and your worldview whether you like it or not
Okay. They do have port forwarding though
