Ungoverned is the way to go. It should only be used by private companies and then let capitalism regulate itself. It’s a self-regulating system and if the consumers don’t like mind controll gas, it’ll eventually go away.

Well, if they didn’t care about being flooded with machine generated trash, they wouldn’t have set the limit to books you can self publish down to a mere three per day.

Here’s a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200. You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.

I hate everything about it.

This can only mean that Google is about to axe a product that people like and instead introduce a new chat app.

I assume by “fail” you mean “didn’t succeed in preventing California from building an efficient high-speed rail system”, right?

You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this, to maintain user privacy, and for a good while their services have suffered for it.

As an example I’d highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. “Replay” is significantly worse than “Wrapped” and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy

I saw a clip from probably Fox where someone made that point. He wanted to be able to use his grandma’s recipes for whatever and also noted that the metric system was creacted by revolutionaries, the implication obvious being the pride that North America has never had a single revolution, which is why you’ll see pictures of the king in every classroom and the union jack being flown everywhere in the colonies.

Yeah, I thinks it’s partly a cultural thing. I’ve seen more indian colleagues do this than anyone else.

Because another connector has been stubbornly used for years and there’s a whole ecosystem of cables and peripherals made for that, now outdated, connector.

I don’t think anyone can say in good faith this isn’t a pretty big deal.

There was. Here’s a clip: https://youtu.be/rUOlnvGpcbs?si=wCT1Rzjev7XVWXM-

It’s a variation of Schubert’s “Impromptu in G-flat major” adapted to 12 fingers by Michael Nyman.

Or maybe India still has some people who can be retrained from their profession of phone scammer to cheap VFX artists?

Cool trivia about that movies is that it includes a piece of piano music written specifically for a 12-fingered pianist.

Mirror will be appreciated

I do kinda like the idea of some kind of curation, but I’d like the algorithm to be transparent to me, so that I can go in and see what’s been filtered out, for instance, and why.

Some guy on Mastodon a while back was working on a service that’d give him a digest of daily posts he’d missed from his feed. I could see the value in something like that, as long as you control the algorithm yourself.

I think I’m still stuck on the idea of a daily edition. A finite selection of post or articles and maybe a funny pages section too. Like a newspaper in the olden days.

Yes, but I guess the improvement is that you can save some power from the wind so you can sail when it dies down.

We used to have another solution to keep the ship moving with no wind, but stupid woke culture put a stop to having hundreds of galley slaves chained to oars on the lower decks.

You gotta stay buzzy as a bee in this doggie dogg world.

You’re getting things completely mixed up.

Meta threatens to leave when they’re not allowed to gobble up all the users private data.

Apple threatens to close their services because they can no longer guarantee the privacy of their users, from anybody, if the government forces them to build in back door to snoop on citizens.

See also Apple–FBI encryption dispute.

Government all over the world are trying to outlaw end-to-end encryption and Apple is taking a stand here, because encryption backdoors means an end to legal privacy.

And you probably thinking “well, if you haven’t done anything wrong, you’ve nothing to hide and nothing to fear”, right?

Well, who’s to say what’s wrong? I personally don’t think homosexuality or atheism is wrong, but they’re capital offences in some countries.

So much for Elons new AI company. Wasn’t that supposed to be this? Like a ChatGPT that isn’t “woke”, so it can be a safe space for fascists, homo/transphobes and misinformation enthusiasts.

Do people still not understand the name change?

They’re called Meta instead of Facebook, because Meta is not only Facebook, but also Instagram, Whatsapp, Threads and so forth.
