Same goes for Google and the others. They have a tribe or flock or cult. All the tech companies want that or have it to some degree. Though some are more obvious.

True. Even if they don’t know the process, everyone would expect the same outcome. Though the wording makes it sound like they had an understanding of the process itself. I’m probably either reading it wrong or reading too much into it.

Agreed as well. Somewhat also related, I somehow am just now realizing that the actor (Robert Patrick) who played T-1000 was also the dad (aka White/Blue Dragon) in Peace Maker. I watched both the movie and show multiple times over the years.

Finally some progress. Hope other schools and districts follow suit.

Do the witnesses spend a lot of their free time watching people get executed enough to have a frame of reference?

Those poor bustards! Glad to see the recovery efforts have taken, even though I knew nothing about them before this video. Also, this was a great human made collaborative piece of art!

I’m not sure what abuse means in this situation. Maybe abuse in overburdening the system, but words do not cause harm as we know it to the algorithms. If we assume that these algorithms can understand anything like we do, there is no reason to think talking they have the same criteria for abuse that we do. For all we know belittling and yelling at them is welcomed and taking calmly to them is actually abuse. Though I think it has no concept of abuse to even start with. It is just a stochastic parrot that says and responds in a way based on whatever is in the training set.

They’ve been on that track for a while. I find it insane that people still want to use their services. I degoogled many many years ago.

AI companies are feeding into each other and just circulating money. Not sure if that relates to the so called “doom loop.”

Great! Hope people more move away from Google Maps. OSM would be even better, but MapQuest is a good step away from the Monopoly of Google.

Edit: Just realized that in Google Maps the acronym for the Great Lakes is no longer “HOMES” but could now be known as “SHAME”.

It should be called renting (or something similar). But then, that would likely mean an expectation of a lower price tag and they wouldn’t want that. Who would rent a game for $80? Even if the rental is a decade or longer. Probably people out there that would and currently do this.

Highly recommend people leave Google services. Use Ente to store photos. Proton for email. DuckDuckGo or Ecosia for search. Organic Maps for directions. FreeTube or yewtu.be for videos. Venice AI as your advanced chatbot. Google needs to be broken up and regulated.

Haha. Kind of reminded of this Onion “news” article from years ago.

Not terribly interested in this video platform as I also don’t use YouTube. I really hope Google gets broken up and I don’t like them harvesting my data and selling it to the US Government any more than I like companies like Bytedance selling my data to the Chinese Government. I am in the US and think we should have established data privacy and data protection laws long before things got to the point they have gotten too.

The most easily recognizable by people would be Google and Meta. Those two top the charts for non-consensual surveillance. I think those to need to be reigned in big time, along with some of the other big tech companies. All are anti-consumer. I guess at least those try to have some level of transparency, but they still have awful business practices.

The boom will end and the bubble will burst. Hopefully at least one of those companies goes under. Hopes it’s Google and Meta.

The AI boom is really the gold boom in disguise.

Also, (maybe some would argue first) might be that someone goes to prison over a thing like this.

Seems likely at this moment that Motorola phones will run GrapheneOS be right out the gate as it is a partnership. Just hopefully it’s not a one sided partnership and Motorola doesn’t strong arm the GrapheneOS people into something that is more locked away and just works like an app. https://www.digitaltrends.com/...

Not even a bit of pushback. Dead silence from a them, just straight up compliance.
