They are providing nothing people actually need, and they destroy the environment and cause harm to animals and humans with their noise and vibrations.

Also massive water and energy requirements that drives up the prices for every human.

These things would be banned in a society where we cared about people over profits.

I dont think we should have a society full of threats and then blame the parents when they don't predict and protect their kids from it.

Its better to not have the threats. Specially since these kind of threats are for profit and it's their business model.

This is like strait of hormuz now

We could have been so rich if we could have seen the future. Just buy tons of memory modules at low prices five years ago and sell them now. What a profit.

Its not like memory tech has changed so much either.

I really don't want to see that. People are strange.

Do I want more memory or do I wait for two years...

I wait for two years. As long as the existing memory modules doesn't break, Linux will continue to be happy with existing amount.

If you are on windows, good luck.

It's a good post, I agree with it. And I guess The Pale is a good description of what we are noticing.

I got to experience the internet before it became like this, so at least I have memories of greatness. But the desire for great profits ruins everything. Not only the internet but the world.

Greed for excessive amounts of money is the root of evil, the bible got that right. But humans are not aware enough to see a future where greed is not the driving force of society.

Actually thank you for correcting me on spelling. I have a few words still where I have a bad habit of writing them wrong... :)

Recipes is shorter too, good.

I have kagi but didn't know about their recepies. Will check it out :)

And I dont worry about downvotes. I will write what I feel even if it's not popular. :)

Yeah good points. I dont know where it gets its raw data but it's capable of modifying and thinking about ingredients, so I think its behavior is superior to just recepie sites.

For me, I just got used to it being "mostly" correct. Im not betting my life on these things. I use them for recepies and im not putting poison in my food if it would say so. :)

It's generating recepies. So you can say you want certain ingredients and you don't like others, ask it to make a list of stuff you could try, and you will get that. Also, you can ask it during cooking exactly how to cut the pieces for best result, or if you want something more spicy and so on. It's much better than a static recepie. This is more like being able to talk about a dish and adjust it according to your taste, replace certain ingredients if you like, and so on.

Im using it daily and prefer it very much to browsing recepie sites.

 

Thiel was a cofounder of payments group PayPal and Palantir, a defence contractor known for mass surveillance and criticised heavily for its “strategic partnership” with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its assault on Gaza.

A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group cofounded 20 years ago by Thiel and entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, featured discussions on topics including preparations for a third world war, battlefield technologies, nuclear energy and cult-building.

Totally normal, nothing to see here. Just a business meeting!

 

Now when trying to activate the OS by attempting to call the phone number for Microsoft Product Activation, an automated voice response says the following: "Support for product activation has moved online.

Linux is this way, guys.

 

Guess we can always rely on the good old fashioned ways to make money...

Honestly, I think its pretty awful but im not surprised.

 

They call it "dark traffic" - ads that are not seen by tech-savvy users who have excellent ad blockers.

Not surprised that its growing. The web is unusable without an ad blocker and its only getting worse, and will continue to get worse every month.

 

Who are these people? This is ridiculous. :)

I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.

People even have romantic relationships with these things.

I dont agree with the argument that chat gpt should "push back". They have an example in the article where the guy asked for tall bridges to jump from, and chat gpt listed them of course.

Are we expecting the llm to act like a psychologist, evaluating if the users state of mind is healthy before answering questions?

Very slippery slope if you ask me.

 

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

 

This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

 

Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.
