I switched from ChatGPT Plus to Gemini Pro instead of Claude, since I'm a hobbyist and appreciate having more than just text chat and coding assist with my subscription (image gen, video gen, etc are all nice to have). At first I found

Laws that can be changed on a whim by "executive orders", or laws that apparently can be ignored completely, like international law.

Does legal include international law, which the US has broken numerous times the last two days?

I just cancelled as well. Time to test out the competition that have some morals left.

My account is deactivated in the sense that I have neither chosen to accept tracking or pay the monthly fee to use Facebook that us EU users had to chose between in that evil modal dialog. I instead stopped using Facebook. So my account is

If only that worked for conversation mode as well. At least for me, and especially when it answers me in Norwegian, it will start off with all sorts of platitudes and whole sentences repeating exactly what I just asked. "Oh, so you wan

Bought one, and I have regrets... Every time I turn it on and start watching something, after about 10 minutes a nag screen modal pops up for me to activate AI voice features. At first I entered the wizard and hit cancel. But that's no

During the whole API debacle all the RSS feeds in my reader got rate limited or blocked, so I just stopped using Reddit. Maybe I'll give it another go if they actually started allowing RSS again.

Well, Teslas use low cost consumer cameras. Not DSLRs. Bad framerate, bad resolution and bad dynamic range. Very far from human vision and easily blinded and completely washed out by sudden shifts in light.

Even if you buy it, they will still constantly nag for you to get their subscription service. And they arbitrarily lock most new features behind it, like 3D views and such.

Mostly it's about milking app sales with the app store fees. Apple for instance get's about 15-20% of it's gross profit from app store fees. For Google it has been estimated that play store fees make up about 13% of their Goo

A more sensible approach to this law would be to require adult sites to include a clear marker in either an HTTP header or an HTML meta tag. For example: <meta name="OnlineSafetyAct:SiteClassification" content="adult;nudit

People figured this out when they specified HTTP 1.1 in 1997. A prioritized list of the languages the user knows. They even allow a q-factor weighing so the user can specify a factor of how comfortable they are with a language. All modern b

Who says he won't? I think he is just waiting for the market to stabilize first. When the DOW has flattened out and started to rise again, he will do it.

That would require him to not be in the media long enough for people to forget. He loves the attention he's getting, so don't expect that to happen any time soon.

Worst example I've seen is an app called Foodora here in Norway (like Uber Eats, Door Dash, etc). On the order confirmation page where you're following your order status, following the driver on the map, etc, they would have video

For me it's a very easy choice to go with Bluesky over Threads. With Threads you can already see that Facebook/Instagram is in it's DNA. There's no pure "following" feed. It's instead an algorithmic feed t

The whole reason for "privacy sandbox" is to still do user tracking, but do it in an anonymous way that they hope legislators won't go after. It's Google seeing the writing on the wall that legislation will soon ban thir

It's not an AI. It's a word probability model. Trained on tons of text. It's not smart at all. The only reason why it might have "figured that out" is because it was actually present in scifi texts in the 60s. The o

And to expand on myself. "Experience" means something very specific for humans. It means you have done something for a long time, and you have failed at it. And you have learned from experience. By definition, LLMs don't have

This sounds like an ad. What is "assisted 100s of millions of people in many billions of tasks"? Any real world data? If it's generating new random clip art for presentations, sure. If it's making new flavor text based o
