Amazon working on behalf of individual interests and/or the government to strategically target individuals? Sounds about right.

Exactly this. The sooner we stop pulling the wool over our own eyes on what Google and Meta actually do with respect to "news", globally, the better.

How were Meta and Google funding "actual" journalism vs. clickbait? Do you have any sources on that?

so, get of Facebook already and go to the news sites?

One less predatory service to worry about.

Is Brave or Firefox doing away with news? How about Hacker News? If not, I'm not worried about Google cutting off anything. Google is only illustrating why depending on them for "truth" is a thing of the past. Same for Meta.

I like Malwarebytes, and this tool is cool. The weird part is the monetization tactic of showing a generic "social security number" and "email/passwords" on the "dark web" as a means of trying to get me to

It's a major win for the layperson, who by and large can no longer trust Amazon today. Hopefully more to come.

Yes, of course. Caliskan et. al (2017) showed this comparing implicit bias in psychological a/b experiments to bias present in language models trained on different corpora (e.g., news, twitter, common crawl).

Where was this position 8 years ago, when the US still had some form of manufacturing in place?
75.
by brevitea 3y ago
I think it is legal, in part because the US still lacks data privacy and security regulations. In fact, I am quite sure the government allows persons who have worked for intelligence agencies to gain employment in private corporations to de

+1. I wonder if this is another Google Search situation, where car manufacturers have agreed to pay Apple billions of dollars every year in exchange for Apple not developing EV.

And just like that, I recall I have a DVD collection and access to alternative means of streaming.

I wonder if this was made using Gemini... Some of the images are quite scary-- definitely uncanny valley.

It was time to use something other than Google anyways. Thanks for the push Google.

Can we not have a hyper-surveillance state where big tech repeatedly leaks and abuses our sensitive data, with little to no recourse? Actually protect us. Thanks.

> "But that's completely the opposite of privacy." Agreed. Privacy is my RFID credit cards not being scanned. Amazon would then hold my user data and sell it to whoever... Which they would also do via my credit card.

Unless you are using an RFID-blocking wallet, I can walk around with a RFID reader and steal your data from your card(s) without you ever knowing. RFID readers are also installed at gas station pumps, and can grab the data from your card. I

You don't have to carry around credit cards or cash. Instead you can "pay with your palm." You can link your biometric data (e.g., palm print) to your payment information (e.g., your credit/debit card). It increases user

Why doesn't UK blame themselves for not keeping the data adequately safe?

Isn't this true for Twitter as well?

But it does keep users in OpenAI ecosystem vs. the competition.

Of course. Where would you like to start? Mis/Disinfo campaigns, cognitive biases, review of scientific method?

What happens exactly on Earth if we augment the moon for "lunar logistics"?

I will say, I do appreciate the tone and quality of Gemini 1.5 answers to tech and metaphysical questions and concepts. It's agreeable and quite clear in delivery.
