lol, what part of saying it’s a spectrum makes you think it’s black and white. We all make decisions based on our interest, and we all have a line. You seem to have gotten closer to yours.

Being aware it’s not what they present themselves as is not the same as realising you’re helping fascists and genocides.

No, you see, when you use ai to steal from artists it’s not plagiarism. Rookie mistake. Of course when artists borrow from corporations, that’s stealing.

Whwre, though? And does it require retreatment to make it safe for consumption?

Did amazon just use their ai, so its not infringement, but sparkling labor theft?

Its not a dichotomy. Its a spectrum. Meta, palantir they are at the bad end.

Nobody working at facebook has any illusions that they work at a company that helps people make connections and express themselves online. They know its a manipulation machine that oversteps its boundaries, constantly, hoovering up their data. They are also well paid, so its not bread line or facebook. Its a choice.

Many are starting to wake up, but the damage is done. So, its also perfectly reasonable for anyone to not feel sorry for them, if their choice to screw over the world ended up being less beneficial to them than they hoped. That doesnt mean they deserve vitriol or they had it coming.

Its really going to depend on how many sites use it and how it handles tracking. If its IP address linked, then it just links all profiles on the same phone.

Yes, but then you are tracked on each website and service by google. Entirely against the point of having a google free or sandboxed device.

On the plus side, the number of people degoogling is becoming significant enough that they are risking ant trust action.

Not to mention the loss of Hungary as a spanner in the works of EU response.

He was the perfect pick for a show like the apprentice. Tacky showy idea of an 80s businessman. It was clear on thw show that he wasnt really involved with his own business nkr the show tasks or planning.

Sitting in meetings or analysing data on a screen doesnt make good tv. Neither did trump, but the producers did.

Yep, so they fill it with memes and cojtent that isnfrom groups or creators that you dint follow. All in the hope that there is enough content that you dint notice the lack of content from friends and family.

Community groups are where there is engagement now. Sometimes with people you may have a loose connecrion with in real life but often its strangers. Or bots.

I juat moved to immich but i self host it which requires a (small) bit of tech skills. I believe they do offer optuons for them to host for you. Ente is another option. Google takeout is the way to get your photos exported. Once backed up to the service of your choice, cancel google one.

Be aware, youll need to manually delete all tge google photos day by day on the websote to keep using that google account. Took me abkut 2 hours with 1tb.the lock in and efforts tonorevent escape is crazy.

My understandinf is that thats the usual oath of transmission but human to human transmissions is suspected.

Token burning

And where there is little benefit between generations for gamers. No wow for graphics or gameplay. Just more expensive and slightly improved. It’s similar to phones. In an effort to have mass appeal, they try to appeal to all levels of hardware, so can’t fully take advantage of the new. In the past, it just wouldn’t launch on older hardware. However, even the big studios were more like indies back then.

The tv show dune prophecy has a subplot about not using intelligent machines due to the risk of losing control. It was before the general anxiety about AI. I wonder if they will lean into that. A big part of the plot is also about tracking everyone via their dna and prompting outcomes based on that knowledge.

Odd that she has such an odd hairstyle and Trump just goes for something so banal and normal.

Before everyone gets an immediate aversion to this, have a look at the australian superannuatkon system. It requires employers to contribute 12% (from july 1st, has ramped up over time) to a similar style account for every employee.

The idea is that eceryone has a pension and over time there is less need for social security. The problem is, of course that the current workers pay taxes to support social security they will never get. However, many western countries have obkigations they wont be able to meet for an aging population when everyone keeps voring for lower taxes.

Its not perfect, but its not completely unreqsonabke either. The first workers to have it for most of theor career are now reriring. Many, quite comfortably. It was quite a shock for me when i went the usa and see older people at walmart and mcdonalds working, as they needed to.

Here, they volunteer at community organisations if they wish to be active in that way. They golf, or fish or travel if they dont. They certainly dont do wage slave jobs to pay the bills and ger medicine.

Plaguerising. Like plagiarism but with added disease connotations.
