LoL, LLM’s aren’t capable of being “competent” at anything. Not law, not teaching, not even coding. They are pure garbage at nearly everything they are applied to. Yes, some of these things have had some limited success at finding patterns in the noise. But those successes are grossly outweighed by the absolute failure of them to do anything else.

I think it’s cute how everyone thinks that just by clicking the little opt-out button they’re actually going to magically not have already fed your entire email backlog into their massive AI database. 😂
But hey, scouts honor, if you click that opt-out button they promise never to use any of your new emails in their constant information scape of your life.
Actually it’s more about the how. The people betting against the housing market put their chips down as early as 2005. They just had to find a way to profit from it.
Make no mistake. Just like the housing bubble of 2007 and 2008 there are people poised and ready to make tons of money off of the deflation of the AI bubble.
I think it’s cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.
This potential dilemma just further highlights that cloud-connected devices should be enhanced by connectivity, not reliant on it.
This should be everyone’s takeaway.
The problem isn’t the company possibly going out of business, its the loss of online service nerfing the device that is the real issue.
My bet is that he’s trying to start a panic in the markets. That way he can clean up on a short.
You should look up where the word robot came from originally.
So long as there are humans who value power and control and can propagandize the populace to support them, a world where all people can live comfortably and happily as equals will never exist.
I have to ask why they’re not starting a defamation lawsuit over this.
“what about repeat violent offenders.”
This is conservative paranoia propaganda at work. People who are violent offenders become repeat violent offenders because of the system that we have in place not in spite of it. And the percentage of violent offenders in our prison system is severely out of proportion to those of the nonviolent variety who make up the bulk of our inmate population.
Yeah, that’s something that absolutely has to change. I don’t care if “career criminals get out of charges all the time”. A false charge should not follow you for the rest of your life.
Then again, I also believe that if you serve your time in prison and are released, you should not have a publicly searchable record that can be used to deny you opportunities. So take my opinion as you will
What Amazon eliminated was your ability to download your books and then load them to your Kindle from your computer instead of using their whisper net.
Is it possible to import Kindle books to this device?
I ask because my Kindle library is fairly extensive and giving it up would be uncomfortable to say the least.
So, how long do you think 'til the GOP Congress enacts a law blocking said technology and company in order to protect Tesla and oil interests of the United States fascist oligarchy?
LoL, same. I didn’t even know a problem existed til I opened up Lemmy this morning. 😂
What “trusted” platform? Google play store? Their rules are lax as all fuck. And if you download an app from a reputable company and it has malware in it you have the Better Business Bureau to turn to. Otherwise buyer beware, scammers exist.
The difference isn’t actually in the operating system. iOS is just as vulnerable to such things. The difference is in how the app store is run. Apple locks down there app store so that it’s much more difficult to get malicious apps added. Google is extremely less thorough. Which is one of the reason many of us choose Android. When you choose more freedom the price is more vigilance is necessary to secure yourself and your phone.
Yes that’s why you verify the safety and security of the apps you’re installing on your phone and don’t just go, “ooo, this looks cool, let’s download it and try it out”. This is especially true if you are installing FOSS apps.
That’s the point. If your business has to create a mountain of un-recyclable trash in order to thrive, it should absolutely fail.
And this is the point where I think the author can go fuck themselves. Children are not statistics they’re people and if we’re not willing to go to the absolute limit to protect them we do not deserve an internet.
