These studies didn’t try to find theories, they tried to find results. In your example, it’s the same as someone publishing a paper that disproves Relativity - only for us to find that the author fabricated the data.

Sure, you can also take a picture of the screen. I don’t think C2PA’s goal is to completely prevent this type of thing, but to make it hard enough to stop low-effort attempts. This, like DRM, will probably be an arms race, and future soluti

If you’re not abusing it and are just using it like a normal user, you won’t hit the limit. As far as you’re concerned, nothing will change, so I’m not sure why you think this is bad for you.

Honestly, everything should be free, and they could just make money from ads (which I’d block with my ad blocker). /s

It’s the exact opposite. They are incurring a huge amount of risk with this. 6 hours ago most users didn’t have access to this feature at all. Now we have $4-8 of raw token credits a month to use on a well-built feature. I’m paying $9 a mon

This take is inconsistent. Lobbying is perfectly legal, so Intuit isn’t being evil, just being rational. Companies, like people, can be evil while not committing any crimes. Intuit is not even that evil when compared to most larger companie

On the few times I've used Cursor or Claude Code for tasks beyond simple tests or features, I found myself spending more time correcting their errors than if I had written the code from scratch. I like Cursor and use it daily, but none

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good. It is(was?) a very useful and important system. Trump must be receiving a lot of emails from companies wanting to fill the void, and I bet the Trumpiest of them all is going to be awarded a contra

The situation is so absurd that I’m starting to believe the entire Musk vs. Navarro feud was just a ploy, and they’re all popping champagne bottles together now.

Trump posted on social media this morning that it was a great time to buy. A couple of days ago, he said people should be buying low and that it was a great time to get rich. I’m convinced this was his plan all along, and his friends were a

This take is at best outdated and at worst disingenuous. Brazil’s democracy was threatened by an actual authoritarian with oligarchical ties during Bolsonaro’s presidency, but its institutions resisted, and he was democratically removed.

Unfortunately, the incentives for bad UX and privacy violations are too great for companies to behave when given the opportunity. It’ll always be a race to the bottom if not done by the government.

Scams are a social problem that can't be solved with technology alone. That said, Pix includes several features to help mitigate them: The recipient's name and part of their ID are displayed on the confirmation page. This allows y

We don’t have to do it all at once. Focus on what ad platforms like Google’s offers. Ad banners, ads on videos, etc. Start by banning target advertisements - now ad platforms can’t use information about the user to decide which ad to show.

Why is this fake news blogspam here? Its source was retracted, its text is AI slop, the embedded video is AI slop, the related articles are all AI variations of the same “news” trying to game SEO. No, Tim Cook doesn’t use a Logitech at work

I think it’s more like: I have some paper that says I own 50% of a box T. People are willing to pay up to 10 cents to get 1% of that box T, so if I gave my paper to them, they’d give me $5. I want to buy another box X for $1, so I go to a

Copyright law does more harm than good to individuals who just want to learn and enjoy content without profiting from it. Companies like Meta and OpenAI, however, should definitely have to pay to use the hard work of humans to train their A
