In the aftermath of an LGBT hate incident, the then-CEO of cloud computing giant Digital Ocean told upset staff his mentor was a member of the KKK as an attempt to explain why they must bend their values because "we love the company"

The government worries Ireland may lose its position as Europe’s top data center location. Frankfurt in Germany is currently second but has similar power problems, exacerbated by recent AI demand.

it’s so weird how this keeps happening, but the corporations behind it claim to be sustainable and people keep believing it

my colleagues are kind, caring people & they were attacked (idc if I get attacked so long as it doesn't touch my company/colleagues) we've always seen love for our work, this incident shocked me

we'll keep shipping 📦💗 can't satisfy all

Don't take out your frustration from election results on them, LOSERS

it’s really jarring seeing one of the biggest hosts for generative AI projects simultaneously do “we’re just an uwu smol bean open source passion project why are you attacking us” while boosting and officially supporting chan-coded fash shit from an e/acc account

1.2 thousand upvotes for the LLM equivalent of adding a little astrology to your holistic medicine. reddit ain’t ok

why in the fuck are you back

why in the fuck did you think that bragging about not reading the article was a good move?

oh well, the mysteries of jimmy90 we’ll never find out

but before you go:

you know that joke people make about reddit and lemmy where people don’t read the articles

this isn’t a joke you’re in on, you’re being made fun of. the only joke is how much you don’t get that.

to be honest, they give me a lot of mtgox vibes:

  • extremely stupid name
  • technically predates the worst excesses of the AI bubble
  • very eager to enable the worst excesses of the AI bubble

the richest boy in the world sued to stop The Onion from turning infowars into a parody of itself on the grounds that he thinks infowars’ twitter accounts shouldn’t be transferred as part of the bankruptcy even though that’s something that happens constantly and also wouldn’t impact the rest of the bankruptcy proceedings even if it were grounded in anything resembling fact

Musk has also tweeted occasionally that he believes The Onion is not funny.

it’s getting really hard to adequately describe how funny musk isn’t. it’s not just try-hard shit like the weird sink thing, the soul-sucking cameos, or the fact that he’s literally throwing his money into stopping a comedy site from existing — it’s everything taken as a whole. I’d call him anti-comedy, but he’s so much less interesting than that implies

Spines’ pitch is heavy on resentment-based marketing: “… you will receive the feedback you so long for from the publishing world: a personal touch.”

holy shit. I learned a new term today (resentment-based marketing) and I’m fascinated by how this could possibly work

the F22 is the C++ of military planes and I mean that in the most derogatory way possible

congrats on asking jeeves

is it bad to be bad at a system designed for exploitation? maybe your grandma had a point

maybe it was a mistake to lionize a corporate monopolist to the level where we ostracized people for not being “good” at using their trap of a product
