No its getting worse, but the more active you are about protecting your privacy the better off you are IMHO.

Im not sure I understand your point. You can still work to protect your privacy and it will get better slowly over time IMHO. There are services out their that help you with the data that is already out there on you.

I cant see how people use the net without it.. My wife gets all these ad popups and she is so use to it that it doesn't even register until I point it out.

Yeah I have been doing that for years now. I do most things the hard way. I forgot exactly how it started. I think it started when I decided I wanted to develop my own sense of discipline. I think right after I read the constructive living

Yeah this is a good point. It would probably be a good idea to have an elective in high school/collage class on the recommended using of mobile tech and why its a concern to to using it to doomscroll because the algorithms are gaming y

The government is building databases of people and where they live, without consent of the governed. If that isn't is dystopian I don't know what is.

Our whole system is a binary carrot and stick. Im not sure we are going to see much change when/if democrats return to power. IMHO politics is manufactured to keep the people placated while the people in power to continue business as u

I'm not understanding why clarifying the legal implications is important if it's a smoke screen for everyone involved doing what they are going to do anyway. It seems more like a distraction away from the real problems.

What is the point of reading it? Pledges mean nothing.

IMHO everyone needs to cancel there subscriptions with all of the ai products until stuff blows over. I don't trust anyone in this industry.There is probably one person or one group behind all of these AI companies that just needs to k

It feels more like the are playing good cop/bad cop... There is just something indifferent about all of this that makes me wonder.

Wow... See. I didn't even know it was this bad. You don't need much to silence these people that are supporting authoritarian collaborators.

The government works for the people, not the other way around. For the people, by the people and of the people. If you don't question people in positions of power they will just do whatever they want. Democracy is sustained by action,

It has a big effect on the mind. There is a reason why they are renaming these insltutions and its not just because.

This exchange between Anthropic and OpenAI feels a lot like theater. If I was really trying to stop abuses I wouldn't going out of my way to talk about it. The "public sees us as the hero's" bullshit feels like a smoke s

It should probably read "hopelessly biased over shinny new products that have the appearance of repairability over other products that are actually repairable so that we can promote companies that contribute to the unreparibility of te

The big companies that sell prediction products to advertisers. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Meta... all of them are involved. I didn't read the paper but this is a known method they have been using for awhile to track people acro

Ifixit, the same guys that gave the new Macmini 8/10 for repairability? They're totally biased to mainstream products IMHO especially Mac products. Then they give this Laptop a 10/10. One look at the internals and without a s

Yeah I read about that too. Makes sense as faster cpus demand faster responses from ram and the timing has to be right. I think it came up with a gamers nexus video on the steam machine.

I'm pretty sure they can use the meta data the pull from your various interactions with search and the text you post online. These services build fingerprints of your habits using these techniques to follow you everywhere. At some poin

Agreed. Technology this powerful could have been a great catalyst for humanity if it was brought into being using the proper channels. Now it's used by bottom feeders who's only goal is to feed off of humanities creativity.

People said the same thing with the Nazi Regime. Im sorry at some point, you have to stop supporting a system that is destroying peoples lives. You cannot sit idly by and watch it happen because you need to pay bills.

I dont use AI chatbots because of all the harmful byproducts: putting a massive load energy, being used for malicious purposes, people pushing it on the world. No thanks, its not worth investing is something that might end up destroying the
