How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible"

    Our team does its best to maintain consistency within our own processes, but collaborating with other groups like marketing and sales can be challenging due to siloed operations. Each team follows different approaches to data management, often using free-form fields and inconsistent tagging methods, making it difficult to combine datasets effectively.

    You pretty much already had it.

    We fund the project entirely from sales of the Confluence integration.

    Just to extend the conversation, the change implements one thing, it protects our revenue in the atlassian ecosystem.

    What it does it protect the future development of the project by protecting the revenue. That's more useful to you than the license being fully open source.

    The primary losers of this change is anyone wanting to integrate draw.io into the Atlassian ecosystem.

    I mean this does seem kind of fair. I'm not familiar with Confluence and Atlassian but it seems something mostly aimed at corporations, I'm not sure of how common it's use is and how much is affected by this though.

    I'm okay with something being 98% open source so they can survive on the extra 2%. And I much rather specific non competes for certain platforms then broad non-commercial clauses.

    I'm talking about secret military weapons, not using nukes. I understand the amount of energy necessary to stop them, I'm picturing something that can either seed or amplify them.

    I sometimes go down the rabbit hole of crazy military weapons and past projects. I can't imagine the amount of money they have dumped into all kinds of weather control weapons.

    It's like the Jewish space laser thing. Clearly MTG is a crack pot mixing fear and antisemitism to flirt with her base, but what are the chances the military doesn't have lasers up there? The government that was doing mass surveillance on the whole country shies away from adding a laser or two to their spy satellites or using natural disasters as a weapon?

    At that percentage, you are losing money every year. Ask them for more since you are worth as much, and if they refuse, then your loyalty isn't being rewarded or even acknowledged.

    So on one hand, I don't believe for a second that these hurricanes had any kind of man made cause (other than climate change) but on the other hand, I almost expect certain militaries to have these kinds of capabilities.

    It can be included into property taxes and yes, building codes are a thing and aren't deeply unpopular.

    All insurance brokers are scum. They are there to extract wealth, not protect.

    Fun experiment! It's amusing reading the comments.

    ::: spoiler spoiler Red ball pushed by an older gentleman, only imagined the hand and arm (wearing green long-sleeve but I'm not sure if I added the long sleeve after tbh, Im pretty sure I only imavined the hand). It was a red rubber ball, the kind you throw to a dog and it was on my kitchen counter (it has a distinct pattern).

    Except for the log sleeve, I knew the rest without a doubt. Also, I didn't really see it fall, my angle was from across, I couldn't see the other side per say and I stopped imagining the moment it slipped off. I don't really remember a floor either.

    6 years to get there, it will be a hard wait.

    I'm very excited for this one, it's a shame we don't have more missions like this.

    Meta's issue isn't with the still-being-finalized AI Act, but rather with how it can train models using data from European customers while complying with GDPR — the EU's existing data protection law. - Meta announced in May that it planned to use publicly available posts from Facebook and Instagram users to train future models. Meta said it sent more than 2 billion notifications to users in the EU, offering a means for opting out, with training set to begin in June. - Meta says it briefed EU regulators months in advance of that public announcement and received only minimal feedback, which it says it addressed. - In June — after announcing its plans publicly — Meta was ordered to pause the training on EU data. A couple weeks later it received dozens of questions from data privacy regulators from across the region.

    A bipartisan group of senators introduced a new bill to make it easier to authenticate and detect artificial intelligence-generated content and protect journalists and artists from having their work gobbled up by AI models without their permission. The Content Origin Protection and Integrity from Edited and Deepfaked Media Act (COPIED Act) would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create standards and guidelines that help prove the origin of content and detect synthetic content, like through watermarking. It also directs the agency to create security measures to prevent tampering and requires AI tools for creative or journalistic content to let users attach information about their origin and prohibit that information from being removed. Under the bill, such content also could not be used to train AI models. Content owners, including broadcasters, artists, and newspapers, could sue companies they believe used their materials without permission or tampered with authentication markers. State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission could also enforce the bill, which its backers say prohibits anyone from “removing, disabling, or tampering with content provenance information” outside of an exception for some security research purposes. (A copy of the bill is in he article, here is the important part imo: Prohibits the use of “covered content” (digital representations of copyrighted works) with content provenance to either train an AI- /algorithm-based system or create synthetic content without the express, informed consent and adherence to the terms of use of such content, including compensation)

    The one I'm using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using? As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app? Edit: I'm on android, currently using Jerboa.

    I've just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment. I'm thoroughly enjoying the theme I have going on even if it was purely accidental, what would be some good recommendations involving sentient spider to pursue next?
