Kiwi here, originally European so I get content in two languages and from people with some interests in similar. Good percentage of local and international stuff generally keeps me happy. (Not too concerned/glad about overall numbers - there's no continuous growth on a finite planet)
I've seen an article that describes opting out of the app integration as well (even though that by default it'll be on. There should be a class action against Google doing that!
That said, I can't see Europe taking this as it is.)
Let's face it the problem is mostly the people.
If AI was as super duper as claimed to be it would be able to construct advertising that makes everyone go:
'Yeah, I have to have this, it's useful, ethical, the bees knees really. '
The little advertising that still makes it over my thresholds is bad to abominable and of that what registers for me has the opposite affect it intents - I go out of my way to avoid it.
Hope no one was hurt,
regardless whether they're stupid, distracted or whatever!
If we can't build fail-saves into cars, what are our chances for real AI?
... some people want that.
Ie there's a window manager, openbox, it's thought of by many people as dead or not further maintained because it happens so rarely, but it is because it's good as, it works and many people love it for that.
Frustration: that we seem to punish certain people for transgressions against government rules and not others. (This government rely knows how to show off inequality).
Just because things are natural doesn't mean you can't apply reason.
Anything that'll end up killing ourselves, in the greater picture, is petty stupid,
especially if it only provides short term comfort we easily can do without.
I have so many bonus points, I just get 5 new hearts.
I find the lack of grammer in the free version holding me back (possibly by design, so I'll finally pay for something).
I think it's time to leave for me too (I didn't enjoy the gaming side and won't tolerate AI integration, even if it's free).
Yawn...
