If you don't take the position, more than likely the person who does fill the position is a bootlicker.
This seems like a great opportunity for a person with a conscious to infiltrate and get some insight into how these companies and governments operate.
Best case scenario you witness the government gathering evidence against actual bad guys. Worst case, you witness rights violations and contact EFF or another human rights organization as a whistleblower.
I say try it out. But hopefully you already separated your online identity from your professional. I'm sure they'll see this post if not.
I've no idea what I just watched and it felt like a fever dream nightmare.
My new fear of AI isn't it taking human jobs, but allowing someone like you to become a streaming executive and green-light slop like this into a feature length film.
Some constructive critism: Watch some Akira Kurosawa films, learn how a camera works and how to use it deliberately for the purposes of storytelling, and film some short videos with your friends before you jump to becoming an "ai filmmaker". You'll learn much more valuable lessons than wasting a month on whatever the hell this is.
Thanks for the tip. Just watched a bunch of 1.1 tutorial videos and it actually seems like it could be a better workflow for my use cases than Fusion, plus it also does BIM.
I'm nearly at the end of my journey to boycott Adobe and Autodesk for good. I dropped 3dsmax for Blender a while back after Autodesk attempted to audit me. They demanded I download an app that would collect detailed information about my computer, so I said go fuck yourself, uninstalled and canceled my paid subs, then downloaded Blender and besides missing V-ray and Forestpack, has been a much better experience.
I'm not a huge fan of AI, but I consider myself pretty open minded and have been considering doing a demo of Claude to at least gain an understanding of the tech I'm constantly talking shit about.
Is there anything self-hostable that compares in quality to what vibe coders claim Claude Opus is capable of?
By then they will implement ID verification, so at least advertisers and data brokers will know who is real. Everybody else will be living in a simulated social network where all your "friends" and associates really want you to buy the new Gucci x McDonalds slides. Without them you're a chopped jester verging on UNC status. You can finance them with 30 easy payments of $49.69.
A semiannual competition might be cool. Community poll to pick a project (small table, breadbox, bird house, etc), a few months to build and submit and then a winner gets chosen. I imagine the first few contests would be for the love of the game but eventually could figure out prizes like tools?
Even if you buy the house in a trust and have an attorney list his name for all utilities and have packages and mail delivered to a PO box, there's a thousand other tracking vectors that will eventually tie your name to your home and most of them are completely out of your control.
You would need to have a car without a cellular modem, not use a cellphone, and most importantly never tell any friends or family your home address and never allow any friends and family inside your home.
My entire extended family knows how I am about my privacy and yet someone still thought it would be fun to sign me up for a planting magazine with my full legal name and new address.
Banks, utilities, even government and health agencies sell your personal data without your knowledge and to any single one of them your home address isn't necessarily "protected or sensitive" information.
Friends and family will be so excited for you and optimistically update your address in there phone book. A month later they download some candy crush clone game and give it permission to access contacts. Boom you're compromised.
Normally I hate blackpilled takes like this, but sadly this is the one aspect of privacy that at least in the US is essentially impossible.
I'm a fairly advanced user of gnu Linux distros at this point in my life. Fedora is no where close to straightforward for gaming. Bazzite is plug and play set and forget. Is it frustrating to deal with flatpaks and osm-tree instead of simply using a standard package manager? Sometimes, sure. But for an absolute beginner there really is no better option for gaming as a fresh convert from windows.
Audio problems and nvidia drivers can be an absolute nightmare on almost all major distros from Debian to Ubuntu, to fedora if you don't have an absurdly advanced grasp of the processes underlying.
Bazitte takes all of that out of the picture. It's absolutely not a meme distro. It's perfect for an average tech literate person.
I use arch btw, Debian, fedora, Pop, lubuntu, Ubuntu, and a half dozen other distros on a daily basis across a handful of devices. So I'm not daily driving Bazitte, but for gaming and general purpose computing there's no simpler distro imo and I'll die on that hill.
I'm always amazed the internet hasn't been flooded with horrific AI porn of Musk and Altman in protest.
Turn their own weapons against them.
Most reasonable people should see this as a harmless meme, regardless if they find it funny or just plain dumb.
Anybody deeply offended by this is terminally online or mentally unwell. Likely both.
I've done that before too.

I find Debian to be the best choice unless your server requires GPU compute or transcoding, then Ubuntu becomes a better option.
Amazing. Best film trailer I've seen in decades.
When can we see the full film?
I think it's an EU age compliance thing. Not sure exactly.
For anyone interested, here's the site operator's statement on the sudden closure:

I changed my mind. I genuinely want you to make the full movie of this and I will pay top dollar to watch it.
This has the potential to be the next The Room.

Some of the other comments got me curious...
Is there a way to print the most recent accessed files (and time accessed and by which user) within a specific directory to terminal?

Careful. Almost every Firefox based browser still pings out to various google domains and sends out other telemetry.
Librewolf is fine though.

Difficulty level: Nearly impossible.

I've had these issues during high intensity GPU usage on an nvidia gpu. It's the only times REISUB didn't work and I've had to do a hard reset.
Not much I can contribute other than don't rule out a nvidia driver problem.
It's the plugins that cause me grief. Especially any that use ilok or weird licensing software.
