It is great to also receive the promotion, but then you are in Europe and are banned from using "dangerous" AI by the US :)

ZKP is moot if your country also has connection information and you cannot audit the "trusted service".

I think what parents should be more concerned about isn't explicit content in various forms (to a degree of course) and instead should be worried about the mounting peer pressures teens are subjected to by the usual social networks. Th

You are dismissing that government would be able to trace your online activity. And yes, that also with ZKP since government has connection info. So the zero in ZKP is wrong advertising.

Compromising privacy for everyone also means compromising privacy of kids as well. And their identity will be known to services that can target them with adds. These policy approaches are simply for surveillance.

In the long run I think consoles might get replaced to "consolerized" PCs (they are already technically, but I guess we might see more advanced software environments like steam boxes). Neither Sony nor Microsoft had a consumer ori

Don't know about mice, but rats more or less have a 50% tumor/cancer chance if they really do get to live 1+ years. I think for some lines it goes up to 90%+.

I mean linux boxes sometimes needed a lot of time to boot before SSDs became available. Today I reboot the system if I don't know the particular name of some systemd service I need to restart. So just restart everything! To be honest,

Yeah, I wouldn't want to hang out with iPhone users either. Bad life decisions, lacking foresight, naive and consumerist. You want a partner that makes better decisions.

I think in the long run this will severely hurt commercial models since they cannot reliably used in workflows and you don't want to be dependent on some trigger-happy random guy. It is free advertising for now, but in my circle people

Nope, that isn't true. Petitions and opinion polls break records with rejecting such proposals.

Opus 4.6 was better than the current 4.8 in my subjective opinion using it. I have no real reference since in Europe mythos and its sister models aren't available... So having a model of 4.6 quality is still extremely awesome. That cur

Most of them are more insignificant than Twitter, Insta, TikTok. And while they do employ advertising here and there, profit is only interesting for keeping up with server costs.

My supposedly modern government has problems with all kinds of speech and this is a lazy excuse. Government needs really hard boundaries and not being able to identify someone who perhaps said something controversial is a pretty good one. Y

Sorry, I don't want to involve the government in anything when I just want to communicate. It is a pretty simple request and it is not comparable to anything that can endanger others directly. You don't need government ID to talk

No, not everyone exploits that. But those that reject these controls are often ridiculed because the thought about any side effect is too alien. Yet I don't think age verification will work with national IDs for that matter. I generall

No, people didn't commit to it. That is pretty much the core of the criticism. It will never be a federation and while economic integration is worthwhile, it should be reduced to very clear boundaries.

Yes, but I think it is still a viable metric to some degree. I wondered about Gemini being dead center here. At first it was obvious that it was actively trained to give biased responses to anything controversial. It was deservedly made fun

Oauth is fine if you need the complexity, that is a lot of apps sharing common identity information. Then it certainly is superior to the classic workflow. I agree that it is too complex though and app to app auth is certainly not a focus.

With active parenting I meant parents thoroughly checking the sites their kids have access to. Nothing parents can shoulder these days in my opinion since it is a very technical and fast moving problem. Some parents could do it, but the vas

I don't want an eID established on the net. It isn't sensible design. It would only work for the legal offerings and those just can send a header and devices need to block any communication if device is in kidmode. Easy, efficient

Aside from Office/Teams, a lot of their SaaS apps are more or less replaceable by AI generated code within a few days. Chances are that also comes with fewer bugs and it at least 10x as performant (not an exaggeration, the MS cloud is

Yes, that is even worse. I don't get it. Anthropic tries to sell AI but manual intelligence would suggest you wouldn't wire up your service to Persona after it repeatedly and actively abused "customer"/client data.
