I wish they prioritised the call app. It is beyond appalling. You can't even determine when a call happened, beyond the generic low fidelity "[time] ago". It also almost feels like tapping anything makes me accidentally call

People already posted this slop "by hand" before generative tech accessibility. In fact, generative models are good at it because they were trained on massive amounts of horse crap people posted and shared.

I noticed too much use of the word "safety", like the LLM was told to emphasise it, so I did a little test: randomly scroll and move the mouse without looking, is there "safety" in there? I did it for 4 times and every t

I highly doubt he actually fully read, understood and analysed it for his words to have any particular value. Intuition tells me it is a knee-jerk jumping on the media train press release.

It is just one comment on Y Combinator's link aggregation service. People who haven't tried starting a serious FOSS project, do not understand how unsustainable it is. Funny thing is, like you mentioned, the monetisation isn'

The failure of the organization to meet productivity expectations without questionable forms of psychophysiological manipulation of employees should not be met with open arms. Yes, it can be effective to deploy such methods over the limit

Ads are manipulation, that is not a reputation, that is a definition. There is no logical conclusion that omits a message from being classified as both an ad and manipulative. One can't come without the other. An ad is non-consensual.

Google is pretty much unusable today if you don't look for specific websites. If you are using it to look up information, learn or discover new things in the web it is just SEO LLM spam. Features like shopping and LLM-powered Q&A a

UI/UX patents? Outside of the US it is hard to see how a court would validate that. IIRC they are excluded from patentability in the EU.

I understand, and even agree with the notion that deep societal distrust is unhealthy and problematic, however, that doesn't necessarily answer the question of needing that trust in the first place [to regulate]. Having a company with

And how many 'innocent' didn't-test-it-enough targetted user agent incidents do we have to witness in order to call it what it is and stop making excuses?

This utilitarian point of view quickly crumbles once it stops naïvely looking at profit-driven organisations as anything but what they actually are: money-making machines. The first and foremost goal is the money, not the software, certainl

This new narrative makes it as if backdoors started existing the moment xz happened. As if that wasn't always a threat, and that xz more than anything did prove that free software is a lot more resilient than to suffer similar attacks

Maybe that is what we need. Maybe we are in need of a moral panic to address the massive concerns of mental health, surveillance, misinformation and others that built up over the years with the rise of social media, smartphones and the cent

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how they are going to avoid an "OpenAI" situation.

No, we don't. The issue was never and will never be the content, it is with the curation and mobility deeply and systemically taken over by social media and smart phone makers. If Google displays spam and AI generated nonsense, and alm
