This seems like a clever way of saying they don’t have an AI team or plans so they have no use for the data.
Brilliant!

Being fined by Russia is actually a positive stamp of approval in my book!

I’m assuming RM Transit, though I’ve never seen it abbreviated to RT

Open tiktok or shorts or whatever vertical video platform you prefer and scroll like 5 times, you’ll be bound to experience it.

Ooo, candy!
- Comment on Indonesian fishermen are using a government AI tool to find their daily catch. 3 months ago:
Also a good use case for a government-developed app. They have the most up to date access to satellite photos (likely already paid for other departments to use, too) and a desire to make their fisherman more efficient.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
As compared to a recall and re-fitting a fab, a class action is probably the cheaper way out.
I wish companies cared about what they sold instead of picking the cheapest way out, but welcome to the world we live in.
- Comment on Redbox’s disc rentals are over 4 months ago:
Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS
Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.
- Comment on Google's AI Overviews now link to Wikipedia and LinkedIn more than Reddit, study finds 4 months ago:
Do people ever post real content there…? I’m concerned if so

What did you prefer? Lenovo?
- Comment on Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 75% of threads retract in 1st 5 months ago:
The funny thing about this ad is that it’s already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone has a headache I think about it

No, no, no, Rust is so good it doesn’t even let you create race conditions!

Just…uhh…move to a place that has a balcony?
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 6 months ago:
This was actually the whole original point of Duolingo. The founder previously created Recaptcha to crowd source machine vision of scanned books.
His whole thing is crowd sourcing difficult tasks that machines struggle with by providing some sort of reason to do it (prevent spam at first and learn a language now)
From what I understand Duolingo just got too popular and the subscription service they offer made them enough money to be happy with.
- Comment on DropBox says hackers stole customer data, auth secrets from eSignature service 6 months ago:
Good thing my company just switched from their service! Their customer service was truly awful, too.

No, it says that making an effort requires no talent.
- Comment on The Man Who Killed Google Search 6 months ago:
In this rare case, I would totally suggest you read the article. It has the perfect amount of humor mixed with shocking facts (revealed via email evidence from the Google antitrust case) and it wraps it all up in a way that’s easy to understand.
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 6 months ago:
How are you raising that kind of capital in this environment!? I can only dream of it!
- Comment on uncanny resemblance 8 months ago:
This is working less and less in my experience. Most people are serving ads through the same domain they server content from so the Pihole can’t figure out what’s an ad and what’s content so it lets it all through
Still works for certain apps/websites, though

This is the way. I pretty much only order when I have a 40% off coupon, which happens every few weeks
- Comment on oc based on a true story 8 months ago:
I would like to think they wore it in the Larry Davis sense…maybe they just don’t like you that much
- Comment on Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies 8 months ago:
I just ordered a report to see what providers I can switch away from or what data I can poison with fake stuff
- Comment on Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO 8 months ago:
Yea, but it’ll be open forever, nobody can turn off an app overnight and profit from it.

And re-devestated (in an emotional way) when he told us he was proud of us!
- Comment on Big Tech has already made enough money in 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines | Proton 10 months ago:
The fines are part of their outgoing expenses, though, so at least some of that $99 in your example is going to pay these very fines

The pay-to-play heated seats always work, though!
