> Everyone is tracked, but only certain people are watched. The "only certain people are watched" hinges on pinky swears, winks, and nods. IMO it's a distinction without a difference.

Yeah? And what are they going to do about it, exactly? These AI companies have already been caught red handed stealing content to train their models and the courts blessed it. On a scale that would have landed you or I in prison. It’s jus

The Atlantic aligns politically with people who do not align politically with Musk. It’s just red meat for their readers.

Believe it or not most people don’t like being sold a bill of goods. It’s not our fault these technology companies (and others) have managed to capture the legal system to the point they can redefine words to mean the exact opposite of what

It's even more exciting when you realize that the last crewed mission beyond Low Earth Orbit was 1972 and each person on that spacecraft today are younger than that.

The start menu used to manifest instantly. The right click menu never once showed me “loading…” when I just want to click “properties” A not too overly flashy UI that made efficient use of your screen space. It didn’t used to by default sho

I don’t disagree that installing windows/macos and certain Linux distros can be stupid easy but to a layman it’s daunting. In my experience most people who use a computing device may be able to tell me “this is window” or “this is Mac”

I literally just sat through the annual “choose your healthcare” plan bullshit and the “meeting” was literally one of the Hr people pulling up a power point narrated by “AI”. You could tell in the first ten seconds. You’d think our plans w

“Stochastic parrot dismissals”. There’s that pseudo intellectual navel gazing.

The “discussion” is pseudo intellectual navel gazing by people who’ve read too much sci fi.

The point is they DON'T know the full capabilities. They're "moving fast and breaking things".

You've got nothing to worry about. These are machines. Stop. Point blank. Ones and Zeros derived out of some current in a rock. Tools. They are not alive. They may look like they do but they don't "think" and they

The person operating a tool is responsible for what it does. If I start my lawn mower, tie a rope to it and put a brick on the gas pedal so it mows my lawn while I make dinner and the damned thing ends up running over someone's foot T
