And now the other shoe drops. We can see what kind of future these companies are shaping for us. Where you have to pay them a subscription fee in order to use premium hardware. While they slowly stop selling it to the public.

The way I read this is that they’re trying to weaponize autism. They see people who are neurodivergent as a resource they can tap into.

Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that shit was on my phone. Deleted.

If you happen to remember the second app name, please post it.

Indeed. No one ever thinks that something like this would happen to them, until it does.

This article needs to be shared and reshared as much as possible so people understand the dangers of putting your faith in a large corporation like that.

You try reading articles before commenting on them. Because as the person you’re commenting to stated, the article says they purchased the gift card themselves.

This right here is the answer. There are so many devices you can plug into those things that you don’t really need the crap that they installed natively.

Yeah that stuck out at me too. I love how the conservative media has thoroughly convinced the average dimwitted moron from flyover states that all of their problems are because of Obamacare and not because of the greed of their employer and the laws that they have enticed Congress to enact in their favor to prevent them from having to employ people full time.

I’m sorry but what was wrong with Zootopia? I thought that movie was quite excellent.

I will bet you a million bucks that Disney put a clause in there that Sora would not be able to generate Disney porn.

They are clearly in the pockets of Microsoft.

If you read the actual article there’s barely any evidence that any of what they are claiming is even remotely true. They talk about vague connections through certain words being used on YouTube that are, in their own words, inconclusive. And a bunch of anecdotal instances on reddit in which mods use “vibes” to detect AI slop comments and posts. And then finish with more anecdotes about some real world encounters that they think are written by AI.

I mean, no doubt that AI garbage is filtering into online discourse because let’s face it, people are lazy assholes who want easy karma and updoots. But this is hardly evidence that actual conversational language is being altered by AI.

In other news VPN use in the US is soaring to new heights.

Dude I have DIMMS that I bought in fucking 1999. Who the fuck throws away RAM???

I am really beginning to fucking hate AI. Like, before I just didn’t care for it, it just wasn’t really my interest. But now I’m really beginning to fucking despise that shit and I really can’t wait to see the “AI economy” completely fucking destroyed.

And we would not want to shut down the entire internet to prevent a single bad thing from ever happening.

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.

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.
