I've always been excited about stuff like motorized blinds, and being able to control them remotely would be cool, but I have likewise touched none of the commercial IOT stuff, not even the more generic stuff unless I could put a custo

I'm pretty sure we're at the point that if someone feels the need to define themselves as "good guys," it's a sure sign that they are going to murder someone.

I wonder if their data includes torrent download rates of shows previously available to people with whom passwords had been shared.

Doesn't it? Edit: I don't disagree about cars, I just think there's some car tech that's extremely useful, like, my kid's new car has cruise control that just keeps him a safe distance behind the car ahead, rather t

It's ratfucking, is what it is, and Nixon must have taught it to them when he went over there.

The sort of propaganda circling on these platforms is sophisticated in its misuse of facts. One could, for instance, speak completely factually about Canada's history of colonization and genocide - TikTok, interestingly, does - but if

Not disagreeing with anything you said, just decorating: for myself, I think paying for Premium or watching ads is a perfectly valid set of choices, with all the other things you have clearly delineated removed from the equation. Had people

Follow up: what percentage of the posters who like ads are producing incredibly bad content that works right in the algorithm and blocking people, with Google's help, from reaching quality/relevant videos they want to see? I don&#

What % of total posters, though, are "popular content creators" who like the ads, and what percent are Susan Soccermom posting her kids recital? The internet is not a better television.

I will be paying attention to this trial and loling. Perhaps I can help the fellows out with their commissary.

Perhaps scale is actually a non-problem in many cases, and only a critical one in a paradigm where there is a need to have as much traffic as possible on a site for profit reasons. A person who wants a place to talk about their cat doesn&#x

It won't go away though, as long as it has a community that wants it. What goes away is things that get entrusted to capital. Netflix will run a show for two months and then remove it from the universe because it saves them taxes or so

We understand what each part is goingy and how it's doing it. You cannot look at the data it's processing and understand it, that is true, but that's also true of absolutely any frame from a video game or cartoon. But hey, ke

Utter nonsense non-journalism feeding the hype. The mechanisms of current AI methods are not only well-understood, there are explainer videos that get posted here on the regular that can even explain it to you, the credulous Vox reader. Ind

Has nobody learned a thing from Musk's example? Drunk on a stew of free money and ideological hegemony, these behemoths actually believe they've captured something that cannot be replaced. I post my videos on peertube now; others

So the tax incentives are the same everywhere? You seem to be going in circles here, first you're saying the tax incentives are an advantage to this region, then you're saying there's tax incentives elsewhere too. It was most

Even with my red diaper marxist upbringing, I have to say, it was a lot easier in 1991 to give Conservatives the benefit of the doubt when they claimed to be the grownups in the room. With my sainted grandmother's precious Soviet empir
