In theory any device with a microphone and an internet connection can record everything and send it off to some remote server, but in practice there was really no evidence of this happening on any significant scale for a long time. It is ea

Uh sorry guys I phrased it weird I meant "complete absence of proof" more like.

You could say e.g. Spinoza was a punk avant-la-lettre, he was a punk before the word "punk" even existed. I think GP is using it exactly opposite to the normal usage.

Ah but you switched now from "I don't think people do this" to "people shouldn't do this". You're right about the latter but wrong about the former.

Do you even need to hack a lab? Can't you just send an arbitrary sequence to some company and they'll do it for you?

It's funny that if the LLMs had all given the same result each time (it sounds like) you would have considered it more valid, even though it might just be giving a single wrong answer more consistently.

It's not that complicated. Minister wants to remove citizens privacy. Protester invades privacy of minister in response. On the one hand I agree that gps-tracking is not exactly the same as analyzing people's messages, on the othe

Postmodernism is a bit more "anything goes as long as it's good". Once you move beyond really basic rule-based criticisms like "it's not symmetric" or "there are competing masses" then you can ask &qu

Fundamentally it seems like kindergartens showing youtube videos to kids should not be accepted by society.

That's actually really interesting about all ads being public like that! Didn't know that. Is it because of some regulatory requirement or just because it's useful business wise? (anyway many of the coca cola ads you linked h
