- Comment on Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics 2 days ago:
If a program is given a set of instructions, it should produce that set of instructions.
If a program not only does not produce those instructions, but gives itself its own set of instructions, and the programmers don’t understand what’s actually happening, that may be cause for concern.
“Self aware” or not.

I found this specific clause very … porous.
Clarification — commercial purpose 6 For greater certainty, for the purpose of section 5, an organization that incidentally and not deliberately provides a service that is used to search for, transmit, download, store or access content on the Internet that is alleged to constitute pornographic material does not make available pornographic material on the Internet for commercial purposes.
So… I guess Bing will once again be my goto incidental indeliberate porn search engine. And reddit. And Lemmy.

Surprisingly, a conservative senator had a fairly well reasoned, and cautious, (although still supportive), response speech.

Greene in an ad for her 2020 campaign cocked an assault rifle as she warned “antifa terrorists” to stay out of her district
Masters, a venture capitalist and favorite of Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, has featured guns prominently throughout his primary campaign. He responded to President Biden’s promise on Monday to crack down on “ghost guns,” which are homemade and untraceable, by tweeting a picture of a “ghost gun” he recently built himself. “Very legal & very cool,” he wrote.

- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 2 weeks ago:
I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.
I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months
Not to trade in after 24.
It’s mine. For 5$ a month.
When I received it I didn’t turn it on for a week.
Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.
It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.

Please post the entirety of your online history.
Surely there’s no reason to hide.
Whether what you’ve done is entirely legal (or not) authoritariaism doesn’t care.
What is done in a free society is punished by small men with anger control issues.
What you may find reasonable to say in a free society, could, under a government opposed to free expression, land you in el Segundo - without your wallet.
The gestapo hide their faces because they know what they do is wrong, and to hide from justice.
People who protest or simply appreciate privacy do so because they understand the potential for retribution and being disappeared.
- Comment on Firefox 140 Brings Tab Unload, Custom Search & New ESR 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had the unload flag enabled in about: config for months.
Haven’t used the update yet but there are several related flags to change the appearance of unloaded tabs in there as well.
Tab groups are another thing I hope they push out to standard options. Again, there are some neat flags associated with this in about: config.
I use the release version, not nightly or developer. But you can usually find some future features in there. Some good, some not. YMMV.
As always - Use caution.
- Comment on Canadian telecom hacked by suspected China state group 3 weeks ago:
While this news is both expected and unsettling, I’m pretty keen on how our gov has this info available to the public.
And the site itself - such a vast resource for security info, tools, etc.
Not all of our gov nor all departments are something to behold, but our cyber teams are top notch.

There is exactly one app I use that is available only on play store - my bank.
I don’t really need the app.
They have a website.
I have a few phones, just got one that now has grapheneOS.
I’ve been using it for a few weeks to see how it works before I switch over anything to use it as my main. it has a lot of very interesting privacy/security features to test out.
Either way, I don’t get anything from the play store anymore.
It’s F(L)OSS or a website.
As god intended.
- Comment on Welcome to the web we lost 5 weeks ago:
My first real ‘community’ online was mp3.com. When I joined I was like the 132nd person on that site. It was such an incredible thing back then. People could post their own music, get feedback, promote, find a label, and get paid for streams/downloads.
I actually earned money from my music while chatting with future mega stars like Darude and Dido.
I got some real world tracks out there, had my stuff played from Australia to Canada, and there was a time I could walk into a club and hear my music being played.
Surreal thinking about it now.
I’ve never had that kind of connection or sense of belonging online since.

That was in part caused by peter thiel who called for a run on those banks.
Peter thiel is also the guy that wants these banks. That wants “freedom cities”. That want to make sure you have zero freedom and privacy. That bank rolled JD Vance, and trump. And has explicitly stated his desires to destroy western society and financial order.
So…
Yeah, I remember.
