They were published on DVD? I’ve only knew them as videos shared between friends on home burned CDs alongside a bunch of other funny videos and mp3 music.

Kids, that’s how we did it before youtube

People think it always has to be someone’s fault. It’s easier to attribute bad outcomes to specific actions by an individual, rather than accept things often happen through mechanism out of your control.

You’re not the only one who thinks so. Never tried it myself, but I’ve heard the same story from several people. Sure anecdotal evidence is not evidence, and so on. I’m convinced there is some truth to that, but not because of the direct causality.

Maybe it’s a strong placebo (most likely). If you look into placebo effect you’ll see it can be really powerful. Or there is something else in the human body that antibiotics stimulate. Like it’s not directly attacking the virus, but doing something else that makes it easier to recover.

1 and ∞ at the same time.

I can listen to one song on repeat like 20 times in a row, the same with a longer playlist. Actually the length of the playlist doesn’t matter. Once it becomes repetitive that’s it, it will always be repetitive be it one song or 1000.

You guys are getting paid?

You don’t have an insight into other people’s minds so you attribute their behavior and decisions to some knowledge you don’t have but they do.
This is a fake feeling caused by lack of information. Everyone is improvising life.

Some reading as introduction to the cause of the phenomenon:

sopuli.xyz didn’t have any issues. At least I could access it at any time, I don’t know if there is any lag in federation due to unavailability of other instances.

Another important consideration is that Cloudflare outage might have been regional. Same content could be available in one region but not in another. On the Cloudflare status page they mention issues with London specifically.

Do they ask you to claim you’ve used it? Then absolutely no.
If they are ok with you saying “this video is sponsored by” but never mentioning your personal endorsement then it can be acceptable. We all need to make a living somehow.

Some overlap? It’s like 90%

Makes the problems of capitalism even worse. Instead of the owner class you get an even smaller political class controlling all means of production - the party leadership. It becomes even more prone to corruption than capitalism.

Adding to problems is the planned economy - it always results in misaligned incentives, bad allocation of resources, constant shortages…

Third, possibly the worst, is the constant insistence on ideological purity and severe punishment of “thought crimes”. Or as they like to call it “counterrevolutionary activity”.

Even though it was created out of good intentions, I don’t believe a lot positive aspects can be salvaged.

everyone should. less people actually do care, but still many people care

why do they care? because they care about living their own life. if you spend your life making someone else well off, what’s even the point of living

They usually live from other people’s labor.
There are 2 classes of people in the world:

• those who earn from their own work
• those who earn from other people’s work

It’s rare to find an upper class person who earns living through their own work (usually sports and music)

No need. If they have heirs, the wealth will be split. If the resulting heirs still have enough to be billionaires apply the solution recursively. Eventually it will be diluted enough that nobody is a billionaire.

If there are no heirs it usually goes to the state (depending on jurisdiction).

Oh no, it’s even worse. He actually believes in the religious stuff he’s talking about. Not just a manipulative schemer, a true believer.

Liked it while I was working on the technology side figuring out MLOps in a company. Well those were technically ML models but same thing. I also did a small pet project creating an LLM from scratch, that was fun.

But I see little appealing as a user. I sometimes use it as a glorified search engine, and admittedly can be good at that. Mostly because Google search went to shit. Generated images, songs, videos … so pointless and fake. There is nothing human behind it, I can’t possibly enjoy that content. Talking about “serious” AI “art”. Jokes are a different thing, brainrot memes are kinda good.

Or just code the happy path and let it crash.

(this is actually a real philosophy in the Erlang world and I’m bummed it doesn’t receive wider acceptance)

“send nudes” is among the least offensive things I’d expect Grok to say

Because of course
