It’s the signal metadata that they want to keep associated with an identity

They still can fulfill government requests for who is talking to who and how often

We’ll make it AI trained on all the “best” citizens, fully automatic!

Can’t have those things being used unregulated or unmonitored

1. you need a gpu or gpu resources to run a GPT level model
2. stop thinking of it as “make me a story” and start thinking of it as “let’s make a story together”

First talk back and forth over the basic idea.
Then get a short outline.
Then work on each chapter of the outline.
Then repeat and refine.

Try to keep overall queries under a certain character limit. Google what some good ranges are.

Make sure to save each conversation, and use the outline and previous chapter as the start of your conversation for making the next chapter.

The AI won’t write it for you, but it can be an amazing accelerator if you’re willing to put in the work.

They would have to vett all the closed source systems like iMessage to prove this

Which they won’t do, so it’s all down to the cops getting caught

But without someone forcing that, for consumer hardware they will just "disable" (read: not mention) the ME, because there are entities (the ones that should be enforcing secure consumer hardware) that very much enjoy the ME being there for them to take advantage of on consumer hardware.

glad to see i'm not the only one who see's exactly how this tech will be used.

Now they won't even need to create political ads, they can generate the most manipulative and effective ones with AI for the highest bidder!

I find it immensely useful.

I run copilot-equivalent things locally for code autocomplete and suggestions. It's about even in terms of language specific snippets in terms of productivity gains there.

I've run my resume through it to have it inject HR buzzwords into all my bullet points, and i think it looks much better as a result. (The AI is way more flattering about my work that I am, myself). For something like ChatGPT specifically, i hand it my resume along with job listings and have it rate my fit, give explanations as to why, and highlight areas the company would like to know about, which makes writing cover letters trivial.

Nvidia has an AI feature that guesses and fills in frames, making it so a game only needs to generate about 30fps to get the user equivalent of 120fps, drastically improving performance on both low and high end machines even adding in the cost of running the neural net.

You're limiting your view of "AI" into what enters the news cycle, and like most things in the news cycle, they're almost completely off the mark and more focused on the doom and gloom aspects.

My future career is perfectly gears towards integrating AI into people's normal workflow so people can work with the accelerating affects of technology, instead of feeling replaced by it.

All that being said, jobs like screenwriters have good reason to be worried. Even a bad AI can make a better script that 80% of what comes out of hollywood these days.

Google "Cambridge Analytica"

That was an org that trump paid to do what facebook has been doing on their own for over a decade to push politicians that help prop up it's business.

"Amusingly", people were all up in arms about election interference and bypassing election advertising rules all up until they realized their own preferred politicians had been doing the same thing extensively even back in the obama era.

People got real quiet about it after that, but facebook is quite clearly the greatest election manipulation machine ever created or conceived by mankind. Other social networks are close behind.

You’re trotting out Biden as an example of “decent president” in a thread about blatant political corruption and the willingness of politicians to sell Americans out for money?

Bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see how it works out for him

So what are the odds this ruling even slows down the agency’s blatant abuses of power?
Any bets?

Might be a good opportunity to drop some toxic games at the same time

Have you heard of our lord and savior, Factorio?

Same.

Even for gaming, switching all my desktops to Linux was a breeze.

It’s mobile im struggling with

Yeah… I went Apple to get away from Google, but now I’m looking at de-googled android options

Pretty shit all around. Almost like millions of wealthy and powerful people don’t want anybody to have private and secure phones.

How are rights “rights” if you can be coerced or tricked into signing them away.

That entire concept is bullshit

“Ok a new law just passed. I need all of you ‘workers’ to sign this document stating I’m allowed to whip you and your vote only counts for 3/5ths of a person”

Kinda defeats the whole point of the laws in the first place.

Right shouldn’t be able to be “waived”

We can have legally binding checkboxes, like a nutrition label

“Does this ToS allow the selling of user data to third parties”
“Does the ToS allow collection of location data”
“Does the ToS allow collection of biometric data”
“…accelerometer data”
“Does the ToS claim ownership of data created by the user, or the users device”

And so on

Yes we’d need an entry for every type of bullshit these EULA’s try to pull, but that’s where we are at.

ToS have a severe conflict of interest wherein the author tries to preemptively fuck over the consumer while hiding that they are trying to do this. We require regulation on companies to protect consumers, and I imagine that solution looks like a standardized and legally binding “nutrition” label.

Until something like that is enforced by the power of the state, ToS are a losing battle for anyone without an army of lawyers and cash to burn.

It already is too easy to frame someone, and you didn’t have to spoof their DNA to do it.

Just bribe the dna guy to say it matches and done

ISP’s have been collecting and selling browser history since 2010 at least

Them was Obama years, iirc
