• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome is worth around $50 billion, DuckDuckGo CEO guesstimates⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Of the companies that might buy Chrome, I hope DuckDuckGo gets it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan has been offline for over a week, and it's probably not coming back⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll make a nice honeypot for extremists, if it wasn’t one already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan has been offline for over a week, and it's probably not coming back⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp now lets you block people from exporting your entire chat history⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t use WhatsApp if privacy is something you care about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp defends 'optional' AI tool that cannot be turned off⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The good news is that WhatsApp and other products owned by zuccerberg are also optional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's "Predictive" Odometers Had 9+ Drivers Complaining of Inaccuracy Before Lawsuit. We Even Found Video!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A product that has a warranty which depends on any “predictive” metric is probably a scam, tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are STIs spreading more and more across Australia?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are koalas being counted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube, Amazon and Meta sign up to sponsor White House Easter Egg Roll⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying protection money not to get broken up for being monopolies. No amount of money will protect them from the whims of a mad king.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube, Amazon and Meta sign up to sponsor White House Easter Egg Roll⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bootlickers. At least this makes it easy to know what companies not to support

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is referring to users by their names unprompted, and some find it 'creepy'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution is quite simple: don’t voluntarily give any private information to chatbots. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when using chatGPT or any LLM hosted online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have relatives with aspergers and none of them are facist assholes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t expect a person peddling snake oil to understand or care that autism is a spectrum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So glad I’m not in the market for a new TV

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is building a social network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fill it with AI techbros and make them talk to bots all day. Sounds like a win for the rest of the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boeing faces fresh crisis with US-China trade war⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  American corporations are just starting to find out that facism isn’t good for business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts final Windows Recall testing before rollout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing I don’t use Windows Hello on my machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For the First Time, Artificial Intelligence Is Being Used at a Nuclear Power Plant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The LLM told me that control rods were not necessary, so it must be true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  😏🥖

  Whales will pay for it, yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s new AI tool generates free background music for videos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What copyrighted music did YT train their AI with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s AI research lab is ‘dying a slow death,’ some insiders say. Meta prefers to call it ‘a new beginning’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Call it what you will, but all signs seem to indicate that AI is simply not as profitable as the evangelists want it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is about to launch Recall for real this time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going into the registry to disable it as soon as I see it, just like I did with copilot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Unsolved] Looking for assistance figuring out how to fix this connector.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a JST type connector I think. I bet if you check digikey (or whatever supplier you use), you’ll be able to find kits for replacing the connector and its pins. Looks like the silkscreen labels on the right edge of the board below the connector show the pinout order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Physical keys and what looks like a headphone jack? Seems like an upgrade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all computer!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What these CEOs don’t understand is that even an error rate as low as 99% for LLMs is unacceptable at scale. Fully automating without humans somewhere in the loop will lead to major legal liabilities down the line, esp if mistakes can’t be fixed fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft brings Copilot Vision to Windows and mobile for AI help in the real world⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A handful of techbros want this shit, and techbros seem to be the ones in charge at Microsoft
