Re:OpenAI might have stolen another major proof on Thursday September 10, 2026 @04:11AM (#49640133)
what the point and usefulness of the comments above? we shouldn't be surprised? is normal to steal? hiring apple employees?

can you realize what this means?

focus on this part:

"If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself"

don't threat this as a minor dispute!

also why not nitter link? not even in comments?

Interesting context.

I just discovered about the Syrian that worked in Switzerland at her home without contract, brilliant.

but not so brilliant as this one:

"On 9 January 2025, in a live broadcast with Elon Musk on X Spaces, both Weidel and Musk said that "Hitler was a communist". The classification of Hitler and the National Socialists as "left" and "socialist" is rejected by the vast majority of historical research."

wow

where could this heavy privacy infringement be reported in EU?

should we all report this illegal behaviour and contract terms?

what is meant with "he was placed there by Y Combinator staff to the protests of its actual founders."

I find it interesting, could you expand on that? or is there any reference?

Re:Nazi, deportation and remigration party wins in Germany on Sunday September 06, 2026 @04:25PM (#49590529)
word!
Re:Nazi, deportation and remigration party wins in Germany on Sunday September 06, 2026 @04:22PM (#49590506)
yes exactly, because that's an appropriate definition confirmed by many factors and is very important that we gain awareness about a Nazi deportation and remigration party that just won in Germany.

so yes it is important that is classified as such and you become aware of it, even if you might not like it.

"The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been officially classified as a far-right extremist party by Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV)."

"This classification is based on several factors:

Xenophobic Rhetoric: The AfD has consistently used language that disparages immigrants and minority groups. Islamophobic Statements: The party has made numerous claims that portray Islam and Muslims as threats to German society. Connections to Far-Right Movements: The AfD has been linked to various extremist groups and ideologies, raising concerns about its influence on democratic values."

- Björn Höcke Used a banned Nazi slogan and criticized Germany's Holocaust memorial.

- Alexander Gauland Trivialized Nazi crimes by comparing them to "bird poop" in history.

- Maximilian Krah Suggested that SS members were not automatically criminals.

just inform yourself, no need to take polarization into account if all is extremely polarized already.

awareness is the first step, history teaches a lot.

just read about it, what a sad story, thanks for the reference.

looks like he did great stuff. for context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

"As a programmer, Swartz helped develop the web feed format RSS; the technical architecture for Creative Commons, an organization dedicated to creating copyright licenses; and the Python website framework web.py. Swartz helped define the syntax of the lightweight markup language format Markdown, and was a co-owner of the social news aggregation website Reddit until it was fully sold in 2006 and contributed to its development until he left the company in 2007."

the most scary part is knowing this is the fear we all have, and the one they want us to have.

had to create new account specifically to put this comment?

> Also if the war is Israel vs Hamas in Gaza it makes people wonder why they are killing Palestinians outside Gaza like in the West Bank and in the illegal Jewish settlements.

It is not something that can be defined as war at all, the definition of war includes two states fighting each other militarily, I didnt see any state or military on the Gaza side, what I've seen is total demolition and killing of civilians on purpose.

yeah sure, can't stand when you try to pollute narrative with your shitty fake side of the story, insulting civilian war victims to try to save the ego.

but don't worry there nothing more to pollute or cover up. all the world knows.

why repeating the same comment?

again hoping the fake side of the story will be picked up?

everybody knows what has been done there, there is nothing to save or hide.

again shooting rocket at agreed and declared aid vehicle with volunteers is a war crim NOT COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

A colleteral could be if you missed the palestinian kid and killed an IDF assassin.

inform yourself first, it was a declared aid convoy, with agreed and announced route with the colonizers.

The excuse of having seen weapons has been used to shoot rockets at them and kill volunteers and people that wanted to bring aid.

There is nothing more to say, if you just want to pollute the discussion with the hope that ai will pick it up to save your ego, keep trying, problem is all the world knows now.

Re:A/I shuts down – Stay human on Sunday September 06, 2026 @11:29AM (#49587468)
also for context this is a shorter version and represents well the situation https://www.inventati.org/who/collective

"After 2005 we have been constantly pestered by prosecutors and security forces (and even by the Vatican! [4]) asking us to hand over users’ data and identities and we are proud to say we were always able to answer: we are sorry, but we do not have them."

This is tech guys supporting with infra real freedom of speech! even more important nowadays! jumping to the violent antifa narrative means ignoring a lot of important things.

did you really feel then need to write this? was it really so disturbing to read about your people doing war crimes that you need to write the opposite?
why if everybody knows Hamas was funded by them for many years? clear tactics, same they would do in the street to you, provoke and punish
you call shooting on a declared and pre-informed aid route and vehicle collateral damage? really?
based on the fact that in the past was moved for safety and deals towards US, if it's now moved back to EU is it because it feels safer and less deal dependency?
this is a crime, looking forward when all of this is going to be really prosecuted as war crimes, the rest about their attitude we already know.
oh thanks! wasn't lazyness but looking for exactly this type of context from somebody else.

based on that and the link, we can say that it's a process started long time ago and now simply accelerating and escalating after Ukrainian conflict and confiscation of a european partner assets?

shouldn't the risk of confiscation ,when having resources held abroad and in other jurosdiction always be considered?

I was pretty much surprised when Bank of England said Venezuelan gold was not Venezuelan gold anymore and took it hostage, then what is the sense of having it abroad if the abroad partner can switch idea of ownership anytime?

more interesting question: When do countries change gold reserves locations and for which reasons? past examples?
If it will be really seeded forever that would be a great way of archiving for posterity!

btw interestingly from the leak homepage:

"To the operators of browsers/indexers: please look into caching or mirroring the blobs, as a large volume of requests at this point are coming from these, which seem to be impacting downloads for everyone. It's a 15 GB directory that would save the time of many people. Many people should have them all downloaded by now.

We are facing pretty severe link oversaturation. If you managed to download something please try seeding them on the torrent and/or sharing the original files on third party services to spare us some load. The more torrent seeds the faster and more viable it shall be."
