Tech papers are not anecdotal.

You will never regret or acknowledge the error.

Enjoy your hill.

Cool. Every tech paper I’ve read has said how terrible their hearing aids are compared to AirPods, so your anecdote is meaningless.

Also, did that hearing aid retail for under $300?

You would rather be indirectly gouged by a no-name brand that creates an inferior one-off product than buy an Apple product.

This is the hill you chose and no amount of government healthcare can save you from it.

Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.

That’s sounds mostly correct.

His relative also admitted their involvement and flipped on him which destroyed the narrow avenue he had to throw out the original evidence for the warrant.

Of course we only ever hear the cases of people who get caught. If he relative hadn’t gotten lazy he may never have been caught.

The lesson there is not to involve other people.

It sounds like he created material, not only AI but actual children then distributed it. The tools to track down the creators of CASM is only getting better.

A single legal image of any of those children posted to social media is going to allow algorithms to make the match and its routine detective work from there.

It only takes one child to talk. No amount of encryption is going to stop that.

I haven’t had a problem.

iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”

Seems like the new government was the reason and not these protestors.

Quiet unionizing?

Trump supports aren’t real people. Their sentience has been classified as below that of plants. Morals don’t apply.

I am always amused at how normalized it has become that political leaders need to advertise themselves as if they are a bottle of coke or some other brand.

We don’t pick leaders anymore, we pick brands so of course they need vast sums of money because how else does one push brand awareness and convince people they need to choose a brand.

Yeah at this point it’s a question of when the hype ends and it all comes tumbling down. There’s nothing but investor sentiment holding the price where it’s at.

Year over year revenue is down 50%, consistently for several quarters. Three missed quarterly estimates in a row.

The smart money is moving to catch the Nvidia bubble.

That might be their internal reasoning but Apple will very quickly move to have these capabilities in house. Apple has been working on machine learning for a while but they don’t collect data so they are unable to build these LLMs.

For now it makes sense for Apple to leave the liability of basing these LLMs on copyrighted data. If OpenAI losses those court battles, they take the hit for services rendered to Apple. None of that liability transfers to Apple.

Meanwhile, Apple is going about this the Apple way by encouraging developers to integrate their apps into new frameworks being added. This gives them access to user data directly from the source allowing them to build personalized models.

These models will likely be far more useful to the day to day mundanity of life than the hallucinogenic encyclopedia that is ChatGPT.

Yes. I understand the people who don’t use Apple products think they are smarter than those who do. Your list of common tropes is tiresome.

The reality is quite far from what you imagine. People who actually understand technology, people who are in the tech industry use Apple products at a higher rather than those who are not.

Instead of Apples well thought out walled garden, fools happily pay extra to play in Google/Amazon/Microsofts chain linked dirt pit. It’s hilarious what lengths people go to pretend that is a better experience; that rusty chain link with barbed wire is superior to walls

This is why I went with HomeKit devices. I do not understand why people trust Amazon or Google, their business models are not pro-consumer.

If Apple pulled at one of the maneuvers these two have, there would be a flood of articles condemning them. No one expects Amazon or Google to respect you.

I hope he spends billions on it only to resell it for millions after the internet moves on.

This is long and I got bored but skimming it, it sounds like he was being stubborn about returning the items because he felt aggrieved. I can’t really feel much sympathy for his situation.

Amazon has definitely declined but this isn’t the shinning example I was hoping it to be.

Google’s death spiral will take a while but it’s clearly circle the drain.

It will likely never completely die the same way IBM never died but it will stop being the desired placed for new graduates.
