Yes, Experian (a company that has had multiple data breaches) is now allowing you to give them more of your personal data for free, and in return they will add your Netflix and Xfinity payments to your credit report.
And then the banks that consider your loan will still do the same process they did before — i.e. not consider your Netflix and Xfinity payments.

- Comment on Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir to Jeffrey Epstein 1 week ago:
In 2016, various media outlets reported that Mr Thiel had links to the radical life extension startup Ambrosia, with Gawker claiming he “spends $40,00 per quarter to get an infusion of blood from an 18-year-old based on research conducted at Stanford on extending the lives of mice.”
These reports cited his investment portfolio, together with a 2009 essay that laid out his philosophical and political beliefs. In it, he wrote that he stood against “the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual.”
However the blood transfusion claims were never verified and Gawker shut down shortly after following an unrelated lawsuit partly funded by Mr Thiel.

Trillian was the superior MSN Messenger client.
Imagine deploying such an interoperable client today. Like something that lets you bridge Facebook, Reddit, X, etc. all in one and use the services however you see fit, seamlessly moving conversations between platforms depending on which features you want at a given moment.
You’d get sued so hard you’d discover new exotic states of matter.

Because how to use it is baked into what it is. Like many big tech products, it’s not just a tool but also a philosophy. To use it is also to see the world through its (digital) eyes.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 4 weeks ago:
Yall are sayin stuff like “learn about” and “detect” as if they got to just add that to their notes and continue on their day.
Going from “might develop schizophrenia some day” to “inpatient for an episode right now” is a big difference.

Not the same kind of AI. At all. Generative AI vendors love this motte-and-bailey.

AGI doomers, yes.
I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.
Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.
Like a fancy autocomplete.
And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.
Like nukes.
