Those companies are required to publicise the addictive nature of their products, and required to advertise services to aid those addicted. Facebook consistently argues they are not a source of harm, and do none of that. If the consumer isn

290 out of 440 isn't that bad, when Deloitte claim the AI stuff is only secondary supporting claims and had zero effect, and they did hand over a corrected report (with real references) without asking for more. ... And they did also ge

Its a $400+k report to a government, where the references either weren't audited, or only audited by the AI system that regurgitated them. That requires more than a single person's involvement.

"By default" is a fantastic escape catch in the language used there. So... What are the exceptions?

Git was published with compatibility with a federated system supporting almost all of that out of the box - email. Sure, the world has pretty much decided it hates the protocol. However, people _were_ doing all of that.

I wasn't specific, because I'd rather not piss of my employer. But anyone who works in a similar space will recognise the pattern. It's not underspecified. More... Overspecified. Because it needs to be. But AI will assume tha

But the number of outlandish requests in business logic is countless. Like... In most accounting things, once end-dated and confirmed, a record should cascade that end-date to children and should not be able to repeat the process... Unless

They switched the backend to Common Lisp in 2019, and at the time had two seperate Arc-to-JS compilers in development. [0] The site may feel less changeable than many, but I would be very surprised if it is not "in-development". [

I do not see the difference, between influencing policy by targetting "one or two", or a greater mass of people. Both serve the same goals, in a different manner. Both require the same choices by marketing - active and with consci

Cambridge Analytica was an experiment run by a marketing team. I wouldn't say marketing will always side on ethics. Propaganda is, and always has been, a subset of marketing aimed at shifting public perception. It would be wild to assu

Yes... But the machines in those data centres don't get there without the companies who put them there. You get no tasks for no minutes, without the infrastructure, and so the infrastructure does actually have to be part of the environ

> Making 50 SOTA AI requests per day ≈ running a 10W LED bulb for about 2.5 hours per day This seems remarkably far from what we know. I mean, just to run the data centre aircon will be an order of magnitude greater than that.

Yeah, I remember being forced to write a cryptocoin, and the database it would power, to ensure that global shipping receipts would be better trusted. Years and millions down the toilet, as the world moved on from the hype. And we moved bac

If that's your line, then I am equally permitted to send random binary blobs along the way. Not a crime, so totally permitted. They'll just drop the connection. Buuut I don't think that is at all relevant to the discussion at

No, its not a "required"... It means someone may have reasons not to use something, and so spec implementors need to allow for circumstances where it is not present. Those reasons can be anything. Legal, practical, technological,

Yup. I do. And JS, too. Because neither are _required_ for anything. There is a well-specified data tree. Progressive enhancement is not some sign of conflict in my reasoning. It is a demonstration of it.

Gemini can and does send everything to Google. Apple's challenge is they want to maintain privacy, which means doing everything on-device. Which is currently slower than the servers that others can bring to the table - because they alr

> JS is as fundamental to current design as CSS. I think this hits the crux of the trend fairly well. And is why I have so many workarounds to shitty JS in my user files. Because I can't see your CSS, either.

Git had already replaced perforce and svn most everywhere I'd seen, before GitHub came along. CVS was still horrible and in a lot, though. I mean, git was '05 and GitHub was '08, so not like the stats will say much one way or
