“Oh, finally, someone with 20%. Wait… is that a negative sign?!”

Whether it’s trickier or not doesn’t matter. Sony is an enormous company, any difference in lawyer fees would be miniscule.

It absolutely is a lie.

Why lie about something like this?

Unfortunately there’s still plenty of unencrypted traffic from normal usage (e.g. DoH is still fairly rare).

I knew exactly what video this would be from the quote. Timeless classic!

His 100% hit rate is truly amazing. He has never dug up a not-hole!

Capitalists in general hate information being freely available, because it reduces arbitrage options.

If every AI company steals the public data separately, it means massively increased costs for everyone who is getting their data stolen. If the AI companies “steal” from each other it’s much better for everyone else.

oooooooh big stretch

Hm, alright, I can see that - but to me, this is an example of business practices that the GDPR is explicitly trying to restrict. Of course it will be difficult to delete someone’s data if you’ve been sharing it with many other companies.

Could you expand on some of these challenges? We haven’t had these issues in any companies I’ve worked at, but those were mostly on the smaller side.

Weird question to ask through radio, over.

But that would drastically change the message, no? People should choose to leave the Matrix because the reward is living in reality, even if it’s harder and there’s no other reward.

Hm, I think it does make the message stronger. If a single event (development of sentient machines) leads to our downfall, it’s easy to shrug it off as “bad luck”, because who could have foreseen it back then?

But if we had multiple chances to correct course and we kept fucking up, it removes any doubt that it’s a human flaw, which means “humanity must reflect and change, or this is the inevitable conclusion”.

AI could be useful if it could orchestrate more complex tasks that the relevant apps don’t natively support. But of course that’s not what we’re getting.

I use lots and lots of timers every day to structure my chores and work. For example, I’d sometimes love to be able to start one timer, and have another one set to automatically start as soon as I stop the ringing from the first (which might take a few minutes).

Very simple requirements, but specialized enough that I’d have to write it myself. But I can’t see phone AIs supporting something like this in this decade.

That’s good! But I’d still prefer if I and the other 44% could at least say “please stop producing and sending us trash”.

They should really make mailed advertisements opt-in, but of course the industry won’t do that. And this what makes it cancerous IMO: they never give up trying to inject ads into people’s lives.

OTOH, it seems like ~44% of junk mail gets thrown away without ever being opened: https://zerojunkmail.org/environmental-impact

That’s a bunch of environmental destruction and personal annoyances caused, so the label “cancer” seems fair to me.

I have no idea how they fucked up that scroll wheel so badly. There’s a setting you can change through logid to make it at least click while scrolling, but still!

I used to not get any as well. Then for a new job I had to sign up with an American company, and since I didn’t have a company phone yet, I used my private number.

Since then it’s been multiple calls/messages per day, but over the years it’s died down. I fucking hate it so much.
