No no, I disagree I think that shoving AI into all these apps is a solid plan on their behalf. People are going to stop recall and shut it off. So instead they put AI components into every app, It now has the right to overview everything you’re doing and every app collects data on you sending it home to update their personalized models for you so they can better sell you products.

Microsoft Teams: Awww, come on, you just motioned all of me.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a list up of right-wing drivel to ‘ban’ and have it disappear

Elon Mush: too rich to care.

ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he’s pretty thin skinned.

Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn’t run a company. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that he’s an idiot who doesn’t care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he’s doing pushes the needle.

He’s still an idiot, but if it doesn’t break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.

It’ll run on 3rg gen if you patch out the install limiter, who knows how long they’ll let that work.

It’s not my main but I do have edge installed on Linux. I keep it around That’s both a vanilla Chrome install and the GPT-4 interface.

I keep most of my AI local but once in a while I need something that’s outside of the llama realm

Mostly electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment. Honestly though, that’s probably just a matter of convenience because we import most of that stuff.

Bernie could actually get republican voters

nah, not buying that one. Never seen ANY inclination for them to call him anything but a dirty socialist.

People continuingly act like 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

do you have any data that suggests overwise?

We saw in 08 with Obama they’ll show up for a Dem running a populist campaign,

63.6% turnout. Less white votes, more minority votes than 2000 or even 2004

Neoliberalism isn’t popular enough to win elections

This we can ardently agree on.

edit: spaces for formatting

I’m more concerned that a populist Dem is a unicorn. The closest I’ve ever seen is Sanders or AOC and they’re hardly mass appeal popular.

Anyone with a solid conscience and mass appeal that we actually know wouldn’t want the job.

A little bit of me dies everytime a “moderate” conflates populism with evil.

conflate sure, but they’re not mutually exclusive.

They’re better at smelling cancer than humans.

I’m not sure we can definitively say they hallucinate less.

Hmm, I swapped FB with Lemmy for my quick dial when the elections heated up, guess I’ll just leave it that way.

Because Florida can’t do anything unless they get to piss people off.

Some people want convenience of accessing the data between devices.

It’s okay to store stuff in the cloud just make it’s encrypted deeply and thoroughly and that the user is the only person with the key.

There’s absolutely no reason for them to have access to this data.

Well, the idea would be for one of them to get a business class connection, then they all split the price.

People have done this. That was a story I read maybe 6 months ago about a guy that couldn’t get FiOS at his location. They kept jerking him around on getting the business class connection then the fiber contractors kept drinking around it’s kind of hard to pull this off in a way where the companies don’t jack you around.

yes indeed, was preparing to write something more complicated, then decided to use a less than and didn’t pay any attention that I needed to change the number :)

Oh, let there be no mistake, Trump doesn’t give a damn about manufacturing inside our borders. Trump wants to do what the companies pay him to do. It’ll be the US corporations that have to allow the invasion of Taiwan, I suspect that he’ll have a vested interest in keeping Taiwan around.

Dunno, I’d say they’re working pretty hard on this already:

Windows 10 is about to expire

Windows 11 has extra ads and telemetry.

Windows 11 has invasive AI recall

Windows 11 won’t run on hardware < 8th* gen Intel or without TPM chips

All the new apps are getting AI components that can snitch on what you’re doing. You can’t even post something into notepad without it being aware of what’s in your content and calling home.

RumbaGPT, how will this play out?

He’s probably just joking and if he’s not, it’s not so bad and if it is that bad it won’t affect you and it if will you deserve it
