Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity

Yep. As much as everybody wants to shit on Zuckerberg, you can't recreate exact copies with LLMs of any sort. You can't claim that a 12GB image creation model somehow houses the entirety of all human-generated images.
Right, a 12 GB model trained on 100,000,000 images isn't big enough to contain an MD5 checksum of each.
The same people expect it to identify the authorship of sentence fragments, but never quote one whole paragraph from any book ever. Now: gigabytes of text could be a significant fraction of all books. But finding a single recognizable page is news. Storing text is not what these companies spent a bajillion dollars on.
Really, the whole basis for the anti-AI arguments seem to boil down to "It feels wrong that a billionaire's corporation should be able to take the work of artists and writers and, without paying them for it, use it to create a tool that is then used to put them out of work." And that's absolutely 100% true, but it unfortunately doesn't hold any legal weight, and the terms we currently have to describe intellectual property theft simply aren't sufficient to describe what's going on here. Until new laws are passed, I don't see any of these attempts to stop AI going anywhere, but I'd love to be proven incorrect.
Most anti-AI sentiments seem like misplaced hatred of awful companies forcing nonsense on everybody, or a refusal to place judgement on capitalism itself.
