Then stop deploying camera only systems until that time comes. Waymo could be working on camera only. I don’t know. But it’s not controlling the car. And until such a time they can prove with their data that it is just as safe, that seems l

It’s an article about the president making memecoins and doing rug pulls to enrich himself. That could also easily be used as a method to transfer very large bribes. It’s very clearly a comment on the lack of norms or enforcement of rules (

The source is legally mandated reporting to the government. Elecktek is just summarizing/commenting.

Oh come on. Yeah the law has never been applied equally. Terribly so. That has nothing to do with the specific thing I’m obviously saying.

It was nice having laws while they lasted.

What do you propose they do? Manually review every single image generated? Even if it’s “only” 1 million that would be a math task. Random sampling is the best we can do.

Thanks. I’m not an EU citizen so I don’t know when EU level laws override member states or not.

Is your country allowed to ban it even if the EU in general allows it?

I’ve never figured out what I think advertising should be. I currently do basically everything I can to get rid of it in my life. I’m totally fine with outlining targeted advertising. But even classic broadcast stuff poses the dilemma for m

This by the way is my understanding of why the EU writes laws the way they do. If they just banned infinite scrolling someone would come up with something equivalent that works slightly differently. Now they need a whole new law. It’s just

Magazines made it work for decades. Websites can too. If you know the kind of articles your readers like, you can find ads that your readers will like.

There’s nothing wrong with macro payments either. Five dollars a month to subscribe or whatever. If people get the value out of it, you can get them to pay it.

Trying to get Liquid Glass to work is such a clown show. Incredible. The UI wasn’t perfect before. It’s slowly been getting worse with each of their dumb updates to make it look more like iOS over the years. What we’re forced to use now is

I’m honestly surprised it’s that low. I fully expected it to be over 100% as companies used it as a chance to line their pockets just a little more and blame it on someone else.

*sobbing in YT video* Leave AI alone /s Yeah. A lot of us are royally pissed about the AI industry and for very good reasons. It’s not a benign technology. I see it doing massive harms and I don’t think it’s value is anywhere near maki

Even if it’s controlled by a person, and I agree there’s a reasonable chance it is, having AI automate putting up hit pieces about people who deny your PRs is not a good thing.

I have a hard time thinking it’s popular enough these days that attacks, attempts at attacks, or just command and control couldn’t be the main use.

It wasn’t clear from the article but I assumed they were filtering for the attack specifically. Since Telnet is totally plain text that would absolutely be easy to do right?

Impressive. Audio was the thing I could never figure out on my Gameboy emulator. I couldn’t get it to pass basic tests, even without bothering to output sound on the computer.

I think it’s to prevent SHOUTY TITLES. I also think there are some hardcoded acronyms that are safe.
