> In Holland I see a lot of defeatist attitude

The naysayer defeatist attitude is also very strong in the UK.

aka enshitification

Indeed the blurb is absurd and very off-putting. It's not a big deal that "It clocks in at under 25MB with just 15 million parameters", because text to speech is a long-solved problem, in fact the Texas Speak and Spell from 1978 (half a century ago FFS) solved it, probably with a good deal less than 25MB.

Speak and Spell was a toy. I loved it as a kid in the eighties. But it was very limited and sounded terrible.

This is a very sensible proposal, however it falls flat when considering that many students who have paid for a university "education" feel entitled to a degree at the end of it, regardless of how much effort they've put in and whether they have learned enough skills to justify one.

I don’t see the issue with those people not getting what they want.

Nor do I, but the university administration might see things differently to us.

No, because of their own behaviour. Israel might well lose the support of the USA and Europe, and if that happened the continued existence of their state would be far from certain.

Europe is certainly shifting.

I think the USA is unlikely to shift for as long as it's one single democratic nation, owing to internal political demographics. Same reasons it hasn't shifted on Cuba. But the USA keeps surprising me by failing to implode despite what all the politicians have been saying about each other, and by the anti-government language often used to justify gun ownership, so if I was in a position to influence Israel, I would be suggesting a diversification of international support.

Do you think Israel is acting against its own survival?

Clearly the Israeli government don't think that.

But many times in history governments have done dumb thnings that backfired.

What about using ssh and a SOCKS5 proxy? I would be surprised if the UK government blocked that.

Honestly as long as you can connect two pcs together, you can theoretically create a proxy.

Its theoretically possible to create a proxy from one pc to another using iroh/quic/(dumbpipe, which got like 880 upvotes I think on HN and I think is trending which is nice)

I feel like Its a cat and mouse game but that's just my 2 cents

The difference is that Bitcoin was an overhyped solution looking for a problem.

Whereas AI is as big as life, eukaryotes, multi-cellularity, human intelligence, agriculture and the industrial revolution. It will certainly change everything (and make humans go extinct unless we are very careful).

> It's a Google thing. Google will sometimes show inaccurate information and there is usually no way to correct it.

Surely there is a way to correct it: getting the issue on the front page of HN.

It's like they remembered their 1984 advert, and decided they wanted to be the baddy in it.

Nor me.
