Musk says lots of things, few of them true, less of them provable in court. Let him burn even more of his money on an army of lawyers fighting Meta trying to prove that somebody hurt hs feelings.
this isn't a problem. better, it's a nice way to distract him from his bizarre, fascist crusade.
Huh.... this is interesting... so, they don't want to work with Vendata, but they're still in with building in India, but they're not saying (publicly) with whom?
Apple has alluded in the past that they're expanding into India, and Foxconn is a long-time partner, so... can we assume that they are, at least, one of their partners?
good job, and well done! this, of course, will require constant vigilance, not merely one single effort. hopefully, a common protocol can be developed - perhaps a set of maintenance tools for instance admins - to help manage large numbers of inactive and otherwise suspicious accounts, especially making it easier and more straightforward for those instance owners with less experience managing large user databases.
in the meantime, perhaps it would be useful to create more extensive documentation and guides for instance admins on the subject?
originally, google's primary purpose wasn't harvesting your data-- it was search and ads. then there was email. then some other stuff would come and go, and they started hoarding personal data because it made their ads better and their search better. eventually, it became the prevalent underlayer of all of their business, but that's been over the course of over 20 years.
but it didn't start that way.
Feels like we’d have to go back to before 2008 for the Google you’re thinking of, if it ever even existed.
well, yeah, lol. google and the world existed before 2008, you know...
it's pretty depressing to have watched Google grow from this supposedly amazing company that was willing to develop any amazing idea into something to only caring about how to inject ads into your brain and monetize every shred of data it can harvest from you by any conceivable means.
that's an abstract concept, not a quantifiable object, product, or service that can be measured in terms of monetary value. if you move the goal posts any further, you might as well suggest I pay for having a soul, lol.
the whole show is a bit goofy, and it works in their favor most of the time, as it did with TOS. DSC tries to be so serious, and I find it to be insufferable, mostly because the writing staff doesn't have the talent to pull it off.
In all those instances you paid for the physical resources.
not only the physical resources but also the licensing fees for the images and the labor required to research and assemble the books. none of that was free, either. some of those design texts were hundreds of dollars-- and, no, I'm not referring to your bullshit college textbooks that have meaningless markups.
while I agree with the philosophy that all human knowledge should be free and that we should all have free access to art and media and whatever, I'm simply explaining that I did, in fact, as an art/design student studying art/design pay for the material I learned from, including the art to which I was exposed (or there was some other form of compensation involved). i am not arguing whether or not that should or should not be the case.
i also made a clear distinction between what a human artist is capable of achieving and what an ai is capable of achieving. perhaps I should have continued to state that it for this season that I believe artists should be compensated when AIs train using their works/data due to the difference between how they use it and how a human artist uses it when creating original works vs ai-generated pieces.
