Enshitification may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to their bottom line for a few quarters… right up until all of the good will has been extracted from the brand. Short-sightedness makes logical sense as a tactic for giving the a

Guarantees that are completely worthless, because these companies will simply pay the fine for breaking their word. There need to be second order consequences to those who delegate their responsibility to companies that behave like this. T

If anything this will embolden others to continue to pursue strategies of “do harm and pay the fine.” It is simply a cost for these sociopaths doing business, and our government has explicitly endorsed that status quo for decades.

Is anyone the slightest bit surprised? Our courts are no longer effective at bringing justice. They only have the law, and the law flagrantly favors the rich and their pet corporations.

Are there any robots that can withstand a 50 caliber rifle slug? Don’t rule out ‘muricans just yet!

They used dark patterns to trick me into signing up. I do not know how anyone can trust them, at all, ever.

Good satire is often indistinguishable from fundamentalism.

Hardly a new idea: Trumplestiltskin suggested during this term that we should start detaining Americans who expressed their dissent against the government.

In theory, true. In practice, state independence has been dead for the better part of a century. The 10th amendment has been eviscerated by the courts. By a strict reading of its relatively simple language, most of what the federal govern

The fun part is their internal communication might be relatively exculpatory, but a good prosecutor can find the crumb or two to hang them. "Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find something in them to h

There is virtually no question they are doing inference at the edge. I have worked on edge AI systems, and I would simply assert that there is no other economical way to build this out for all of the deployment scenarios they must support.

Voting is choose between two terrible candidates, neither of which represent the majority of any group’s interests. No one ever elected has delivered 100% satisfaction to the majority of their constituents.

You cannot speed run human learning. Investing time to read and absorb the material, repeatedly exercising and expanding your understanding, is the only path. Not coincidentally, this is exactly how we train our AI. Edit: but to answer you

Let’s be clear: if the CIA was doing it, then it was not overt and obvious. It was secret manipulation. Is that the kind of government intervention that you want to get?
