  My favourite way to liken LLMs to something else is to autocorrect, it just guesses, and it gets stuff wrong, and it is constantly being retrained to recognise your preferences, such as it starting to not correct fuck to duck for instance.

  And it’s funny and sad how some people think these LLMs are their friends, like no, it’s a collosally sized autocorrect system that you cannot comprehend, it has no consciousness, it lacks any thought, it just predicts from a prompt.

  Yeah, their innovative AI operating system architecture isn’t very innovative now.

  I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn’t overheat instantly.

  Australia already has this, but it is extremely easy to circumvent, just use a different VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got pretty small hands but I am really comfortable with my 6.4 inch Oppo Reno Z, it has all the reachability I need, it isn’t too heavy or too light and it’s got a large enough display for me.

  I used to use a galaxy S4, which has a 5 inch display. I find the galaxy quite cramped and not very usable, but the AMOLED was just as good as the Reno Z, and even had better PPI.

  Something that would be pretty frustrating would be if phones get any larger, because I find that the sizes currently are pretty much perfect for everyone, although there should be more options when it comes to smaller phones.

  If I had a nickel for every time I reported a pervy corporation to the ACCC, I’d have two nickels– which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia will impose a ‘digital duty of care’ on tech companies to reduce online harm. It’s a good idea – if it can be enforced⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that whenever I open myGov on my iPad, and immediately see “connect your digital ID” makes me never want to do that. They also want me to use this ID, which is linked to my Medicare, citizenship, voting, etc., which instantly rings alarm bells in my mind, the government and corpos knowing that I am exactly who I am, and that I am likely not able to disconnect it from myGov nor the social media platforms it could regulate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to the widgets pane on my w11 laptop once, clicked an article and to my horror, all of my data had been synced from chrome to edge, including passwords, history, open tabs, extensions, pretty much everything.

  I even went as far as to report it to the ACCC (the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) since I’ve never seen it from other browsers, and that I found it pervy the fact they did it without consent, although I doubt the ACCC would be enough to change this shitty practice, and others like it.

  They’re not even trying to trick the user anymore, they’re forcing them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker dad who faked death to avoid child support sentenced to prison⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not excusing his actions but, as an Australian, I find child support a predatory system, the fact it basically cyphons people’s finances, hurts their potential for growth and rehab, and the fact that I’ve heard so many stories of the parent never using the funds on their kids, but on their own greed and self fulfilment, which is just horrific, although I don’t believe I know enough about this topic to have a truly well thought out opinion.
