A new company will pop up to replace Flock. Amazon will gladly work with them next, assuming Flock doesn’t go under. Do not be fooled, Jeff Bozo is an evil man

The problem here is that no one that makes these LLM/AI/whatever are doing ENOUGH DUE DILIGENCE to make sure the data that they’re scrapping is good and accurate to improve the AI’s output. This has been an issue since the beginning and with how much data they’re taking, there’s no good way to get it to 100% accurate. And there was a study put out last year that said it doesn’t take much bad info to poison the AI output. And this is the stuff that these big tech companies are trying to force us all to use in our day-to-day. ALSO YEAH it is Google’s fault because it’s their dog. Their dog is taking the data without understanding WHAT the data they’re taking is, they trained the dog, they have the responsibility for what the dog does out on the internet. It the dog is leading people off a cliff, that’s on Google.

This is problematic because anything on your web pages might now influence unrelated answers. You could have outdated information on some forgotten page, or contradictory details across different sections. Google’s AI might grab any of this and present it as the answer. If you allow user-generated content anywhere on your site (like forum posts or comments), someone could post fake support contact info, and Google might surface that to users searching for how to contact your company. Now scammers have a direct route to your customers.

OH FUUUUUUN

So I kinda walked away from this to think about what’s being said a bit and I just kinda have to disagree? Like, being clear and concise and accurate in defining something is hella important… to the people that care about those things. The thing we see though isn’t lacking definitions, especially in a legal sense, but people not pushing back enough whenever bad actors start bringing up terrible arguments. There are people out there that you can bring up the best, most logical points in the world and they will still twist and twist and twist until your original point is lost. We can make the most robust, perfect definitions and some people will STILL either find ways around it or completely ignore what was rationally established. The definition doesn’t matter, the problem is fascists want to monitor the world and make whoever they want disappear and people kinda just let it happen.

And to be clear, I’m trying to say you’re completely wrong. Defining things is important to establish a shared common framework of understanding and policy making and regulations are SO SO SO IMPORTANT cause they save lives in more than just one way, but problem isn’t clear cut to be solved with “we need to define things better.” We have a culture issue. Culture issues need more than one approach to resolve.

People need to realize that this isn’t JUST a Discord issue. This is a policy issue AS WELL. Fucking pay attention to the politics around you. And this isn’t just a United States issue as well.

At this point, I would also second MacOS/iOS just because of how much the two synergize with one another. But if you’re just doing basic shit and web browsing, iOS cause at least you can hold onto your phone for a long while before feeling the need to upgrade again.

Naw, Hollywood Reporter person (not OP the person who wrote the article). I don’t even care to click through to see your name cause the fascist shit isn’t even WORTH the work you put into writing your experience up.

Thoughts and prayers to all those bands effected

HEY! What’s up with this website’s data collection/cookie prompt? Feels like they made it hella confusing on purpose. If I’m “opted out” does that mean out of wanting to not have my data collected or does that mean a reconfirmation that I don’t want my data collected?

We don’t deserve the minimum level of respect anymore. Fuck us.

This is actually… a good idea. A lot of these people are def power hungry and more than willing to defend pedophiles in power, def probably have tendencies to take advantage of the weak and desperate/vulnerable. YEAH I can get behind a bill like this.

Starting to thing FBI killed him at someone’s behest.

I knew about the child killing and dumping the body off of a boat but the auction stuff… fucking hell. What a sociopath

Sigh no Bernie… No more money for ICE AT ALL EVER AGAIN. Slash the DHS budget, they’re not doing their fucking jobs right at all and don’t deserve anymore leeqay. This is how you know Bernie is also not good enough to meet the moment.

I think your underestimating how little facists actually care about truth and meaning. They will ABSOLUTELY try to play anything that they like at their nazi events, just like they tried to play Rage Against The Machine at Alt-Right rallies. They ain’t actually internalizing ANYTHING meaningful about the media they consume, they just love the aesthetics.

Sorry for your loss. I’ve watched family die and it’s horrible to witness (stroke for my mom. MULTIPLE strokes). I feel you for. BUT I have to say that Steven Jobs had a type of pancreatic cancer that actually gave him an EXCELLENT chance… if he had listened to his doctors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_neuroendocrine_tumor NOW I’m not going to act like I’m a doctor and know if he actually had a real shot but it’s absolutely true that he DID IGNORE EXPERTS in his treatment. AND, Jobs died in 2011. That leaves us a gap of 5 years before Trump got elected the first time and 13 year gap for the second election. There is a lot of time of people stroke Jobs’ ego if he were still around. A lot of time for the power and the wealth to seep into him and corrode any semblance of morality he had left. Jobs was already a NIGHTMARE to work for and if he had lived that would have probably only had gotten WORSE if Apple’s fortune continued going in the direction it has in reality. He already wasn’t a good person, how much of a stretch would it have been for him to bend the knee and kiss the nazi’s ring? Given how much other major tech CEOs have done so already, I don’t think Jobs would have contradicted that trend. BUT this is speculation from me at best, the man is dead. MY POINT is that Jobs was still a piece of work and was already on the fringes of “can’t trust established experts cause they don’t know better than me.” He would have felt right at home with the anti-vax movement, would have rallied AGAINST mask mandates, etc etc etc. He was already so aligned with the Right, I just don’t see him taking a stand against Trump who could have promised him and Apple company a free “do whatever the fuck you want” pass, as long as he played nice with Trump. IDK, I don’t trust the popular interpretation of what “Steve Jobs would have done if he were he were still around” in this political climate.

"A lot of people are talking about how Steve Jobs would have never given a gold bar to a politician,” referring to the 24-karat gold trophy Cook presented Trump at the White House in August.

Feel like people are giving Jobs a lot more credit than he deserves. We have to remember that there’s a very good possibility that Jobs would still be here IF HE HAD LISTENED TO HIS DOCTORS about treatment for his rare type of cancer that actually have him better odds of survival. He thought he knew better and died because of that foolishness. Kinda sounds like an ego that would serve him well with the republican side of politics, now doesn’t it?

NOW the question is, will they listen? Cause we’ve seen so many times where a company says they’re taking feedback and then do the thing that their audience didn’t want them to do in the first place anyways. Now, of course, they could have more data and metrics that says people don’t care or do want the BS, but I doubt all the companies that DID go hard into AI actually looked at legit numbers, since all the big heads are now saying “why aren’t you people using this stuff?”

This guy is absolutely a grifter and playing both sides so he ends up with “the winning team”, don’t fucking trust his ass.
