Open Source@lemmy.ml•The Open-Source Software Saving the Internet From AI Bot Scrapers
link Englishfedilink 2 days ago2·arrow-up How will Anubis attack if browsers start acting like manual scrapers used by AI companies to collect information?
Because OpenAI is planning to release an AI-powered browser, what happens if it ends up using it as another way to collect information?
Blocking all Chromium browsers, I don’t think, is a good idea.

Science@lemmy.ml•If people think American scientists are somehow going to land in Europe, I've got news for you about the difference between millions and billions.
link Englishfedilink 4 days ago1·arrow-up I feel that the president ends up regretting it to some extent if China or some European country makes a good discovery, although that is in the best of cases in my opinion.
Added to that he also discovered that they were helping him get votes.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•French City of Lyon Kicks Out Microsoft
link Englishfedilink 4 days ago2·arrow-up FreeBSD does have uses in industry, because large companies use it and receive donations, although not as many as the Linux Foundation.
The problem is that it doesn’t have as widespread support from various sources as Linux, let alone Windows, so installing FreeBSD on newer hardware can be difficult if you don’t have a technician to help you.
In addition, there isn’t enough native software, although that could be covered by using a compatibility layer with Linux and/or Wine. You could also use virtual machines. However, you may not need to do that if the software can run on the operating system without any problems despite not having official support.
But FreeBSD is very stable, has its own package, which is quite intuitive, and has a file system called ZFS and security.
Support is another issue, but this problem is shared by less popular and less widely used Linux distributions and other operating systems that aren’t widely used. Hiring someone to solve a problem that’s affecting you can be very expensive, and there are three options.
- You pay for expensive technical support
- You create a technical support team for that system
- You are the technical support team itself
I say the FSF rewrite Hurd, but using Rust or Zig.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base
link Englishfedilink 5 days ago1·arrow-up Technically, MSFT can create Windows versions for TVs, smartphones, and smartwatches. Because they’ve made Windows development more modular, they’re not developing it because it won’t generate significant profits or revenue.
That’s until OpenAI announces an AI-powered device, and if it ends up being a mainstream consumer success, we’ll see many companies creating something similar, adding to the integration of it into their ecosystems.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft axe another 9000 in continued AI push
link Englishfedilink 6 days ago3·arrow-up Another factor is Section 174 and the hiring of H1B workers. Although Microsoft’s official AI website lists many job openings, you’re right that it’s changing its focus, it’s strange that they’re changing focus so quickly. First it was the metaverse, then video games, and now it’s AI. What’s next? Quantum computing in the coming years, and pouring tons of money into it as if there were no tomorrow.
It seems like tech companies are going through a midlife crisis, as are their shareholders, who want to be on the cutting edge and end up executing poorly. But they want to be on this trend because they don’t want to be in the same situation as Apple, which wasn’t on the cutting edge and its shareholders are suing it.

Technology•VMware must support crucial Dutch govt agency as it migrates off the platform, judge rules
link Englishfedilink 8 days ago17·arrow-up Broadcom’s VMware subsidiary must provide a Dutch government organization with continued software support for at least two years while it manages a migration to an alternative platform, according to a court ruling, or else face fines up to €25 million ($29 million).
I feel like Broadcom would rather pay the fine than provide 2 more years of support.
We’ll have to see what happens if this all goes well or not.
If it goes well, we’ll have to see the effectiveness of the drugs, as they are more effective than conventional ones.
If the latter happens, let’s look at the legal aspect. Can products made with AI be patented?
If they can’t be patented, we’ll see many companies launch these drugs as generics and at a lower price, in addition to being more effective. Big Pharma will likely start suing to avoid losing customers, and it will be interesting to see people support these companies just because they are against AI.
Not to mention that this could benefit them and that they wouldn’t have to pay so many medical bills or such expensive drugs that are actually very cheap to produce.
