So had I!

Is any of that money actually going to the authors, or is this just like a fine they hand over and they donate some money to a charity or something?

Honestly, I’m mostly wondering about the nutrition factor. Not that you expect much from butter, but we all know this will be slipped into other things, just like hfcs.

Okay, cool. Hey, I’m now taking bets on how long until someone uses the ads to inject malware into a car or truck …

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).

In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.

How is a manufacturer going to be held responsible for their flaws when musk DOGE’d investigating his companies?

Just a reminder that it’s illegal to wear masks in New Orleans unless it’s Carnivale.

Fuck spez.

“dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives”.

the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool. […] Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions"

I wonder how much they had to pay a business major to come up with those sentences, or did they just use ChatGPT …

The APIcalypse.

Guess that explains the videos of doordash drivers stealing deliveries and stuff …

The point is that he’s got too much exposure in Xitter, plus everyone’s tanking Tesla, so he’s moving stuff around to try to hang on to everything he can.

The biggest problem with AI is that they’re illegally harvesting everything they can possibly get their hands on to feed it, they’re forcing it into places where people have explicitly said they don’t want it, and they’re sucking up massive amounts of energy AMD water to create it, undoing everyone else’s progress in reducing energy use, and raising prices for everyone else at the same time.

Oh, and it also hallucinates.

Lol - longest necro I’ve had was someone who came back with a comment like three and a half years later, so you’re fine! And thank you for the compliment! :)

There are a massive number of fake books on Amazon, though. There are AI-generated books, designed to be easily mistaken for books by real authors, or about recent high-news events, or popular series. There are people who steal an author’s legitimate work and “publish” it as their own work, sometimes changing a small amount, sometimes changing nothing at all. There are people who watch upcoming book releases by popular authors and release fake books around the same time, hoping to pinch some of the sales. I’d rather have sparse but reliable data than give any authenticity to the scammers and thieves.

Oh, cool! I never figured out why they had the 683/684-character limit thing, so it’s cool beans to you - thank you!

They ended up “fixing” the problem by increasing the character limit to 2048, which was nice.

Oh god, the comments I put in the code, explaining what I was doing and why, and how to test that the product had been fixed before changing my code, because I just knew some junior codebro was going to come in and think, “I should clean this code up!” and they’d have no idea why it wasn’t working anymore …
