- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 1 day ago:
That’s re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks.
Giving one’s real name and real information to a social network who is intending to track everything one does or says and the people one does or says it with is idiocy and it has never not been.
People do people stuff like not listening to people who have constantly been telling them not to push the button.
People stuff also includes continuing to use these horror networks for years after knowing full well they shouldn’t.

So the ridiculously overvalued pump-and-dump paid for the real assets that he then destroyed but will bail out with the magical cauldron of venture capital so everything’s just fine.
Can’t see any problems here.

it’s possible if you sort this community by “New” and scroll down you’ll find lots of good resources. One of the things I complain about is I can’t have two instances open of my particular app at once, so I can’t do it and come back and paste in links without some fancy footwork.

Indeed.

No, enshittified search engines are only catalogging those because they’re in the AI bed with them.

- Comment on The Phony Comforts of AI Optimism. 1 week ago:
OpenAI is CoreWeave. CoreWeave is OpenAI. SoftBank is now both CoreWeave and OpenAI, and if SoftBank buckles, both CoreWeave and OpenAI are dead. For this situation to work even for the next year, these companies will have to raise tens of billions of dollars just to maintain the status quo.
You’d think if that was easily disprovable, someone would want to do that.
- Comment on The Phony Comforts of AI Optimism. 1 week ago:
The leaders behind the funding, functionality, and media coverage of the tech industry have abdicated their authority so severely that the consensus is that it’s fine that OpenAI burns $5 billion a year, and it’s also fine that OpenAI, or Anthropic, or really any other generative AI company has no path to profitability. Furthermore, it’s fine that these companies are destroying our power grid and our planet, and it’s also fine that they stole from millions of creatives while simultaneously undercutting those creatives in an already-precarious job market.
Amazing, as always. That AI is . . . what it is.

- Comment on John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in 1 week ago:
Okay, and fair enough, but I don’t want anything going to anyone. If it’s apple, it’s at least part of that DPA and it’s part of the whole deal, but OpenAI can gtfo of my phone. That’s a hard no.
Even then - what, find all the pictures of my dog bucky and message them to grandma? I guess? Put pushpin icons on the map where all my phot -oh wait it already does that. Umm . . how many of my phone contacts are Masons? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno - I just don’t know what I’d use it for.

- Comment on John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in 1 week ago:
I’d have to know more specifics to really answer but the gist is that it will cost an exorbitant amount fir very little gain. There’s no magic to be had and every single honest survey shows people overwhelmingly don’t want it.
- Comment on John Giannandrea out as Siri chief, Apple Vision Pro lead in 1 week ago:
Mike Rockwell, the Apple Vision Pro chief, has replaced John Giannandrea as the executive in charge of Siri, in an executive shakeup to try and rescue Apple’s flailing AI efforts.
The glacial rollout of Apple Intelligence and the lack of progress on Siri has not been a good look for Apple over the last year. Now, Apple is making a big change to get things back on track.
The glacial rollout is because it doesn’t work, and it can’t work. Stop trying so hard to jump in the shit puddle, apple.

- Comment on BREEEEET 1 week ago:
What kind of hardware is used in the games?: The early models were all programmed at Rockwell Microelectronics Division using modified MOS-FET (Field Effect Transistor) handheld calculator chips. Basically a calculator chip was modified to make it output the necessary signals to drive the game display appropriately. Part of the reason that the little blips on these games are dashes is becuase they are basically the little segments of the number 8 on a calculator display.
